Lieutenant Chuck Hasty said Deputy C.E. Carroll stopped the vehicle on Highway 48 in Roanoke Rapids Saturday.
Carroll learned Louis Donnell Hawkins, 23, was the driver and following a search of the vehicle discovered marijuana, drug paraphernalia, pills and a shotgun.
He was charged with possession with intent to sell and deliver marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia and prescription label violation.
Because a 15-year-old was in the vehicle, Hawkins was also charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Two 17-year-olds were also in the vehicle, Major Bruce Temple said.
Hawkins was jailed on $3,000 bond and has a January 18 court date.

An "unwrongful search" would be one not considered wrongful wouldn't it? And if so then how could he sue? And then you tell Phyllis to mind her own business? It's a public forum for opinion and discussion. In all actuality this is NO ONE'S business but Halifax Co court, RRPD, Halifax Co Sheriff's Department, and the Stae of NC and RRSpin.com since most of it is legal matters!
they ask the guy to get out because he didnt had his l's on him and they search him and found the stuff on him. and than they have the right to search the car
If a Officer ask to search the vehicle and the person says yes then that is all they have to do. If there was reason to suspect that something was in there then it's the officers job to search and if the person refuses then they can get a warrant to let them search.
