Lieutenant Chuck Hasty of the Halifax County Sheriff’s said the narcotics and patrol units were called today to assist Probation and Parole at a house on Antler Circle in Roanoke Rapids.
Probation Officers Wade Smith and Khristopher Harris were checking the home of Chad Lavon Hilton when marijuana and cocaine were found.
Agents seized 2 grams of crack cocaine, 14 grams of marijuana, digital scales and a cup full of marijuana seeds.
Hilton was on probation at the time of his arrest and released from prison in July of 2009 after serving a nearly two year prison for selling cocaine and other crimes in 2007.
He was given special probation in 1995 for being a conspirator in a homicide and attempted common law robbery. The 36-year-old has a lengthy prison record which dates to 2001.
Today Hilton was charged with felony possession of cocaine, possession of marijuana, maintaining a dwelling place, possession of drug paraphernalia and was served with an outstanding order for arrest.
He has a June 2 court date and a bond of $8,000.
Hasty credited Sergeant Steve Allen, Deputy James Rawls, Deputy Brian Knight, agent Tim Harris and his dog Josh for their assistance.
There is to be no profanity and there is to be no character assassination even if the person being written about is a suspect in a crime.
