Faulcon Faulcon Halifax County Sheriff's Office

A 47-year-old Roanoke Rapids woman was charged Wednesday with marijuana possession counts following an investigation by the Halifax County Sheriff's Office.

Narcotics Agent J. Puhak said agents from the sheriff's office conducted a search of a house in the 400 block of Airbase Road and were assisted by uniformed officers.

The execution of the search warrant was based on investigation since 2007 and driven by citizen complaints, followup by narcotics detectives and information from previous arrests.

The search resulted in the discovery of an undisclosed weight of marijuana, several items of drug paraphernalia and a firearm.

Eva Denise Faulcon was charged with possession with intent to sell and deliver schedule VI; simple possession of schedule VI and possession of drug paraphernalia.

She was jailed on $10,000 bond and has a February 1 court date.

People like "Chris" and those who think we should legalize marijuana are so stupid! I mean really?!?!? Like we don't have enough drug problems in this area!? What's next legalizing Meth or crack, how about we just don't have any drug laws? And what is with putting down the cops for doing their job? Of course this has taken since 2007 to get something done, do you know how many charges they have to have against someone just to get them sentenced to one day in prison? The problem is not the cops that are out here risking their life to keep everyone else safe just so they can be put that down by people under secret names on response. If the lady would have.been waiting at the door with a shot gun and one of them would have gotten killed I bet everyone would have thought before they put these ridiculous comments up here. What is going on that there are more people sticking up for the drug dealers than the law enforcement?

I agree with mike...we need a bigger jail in this area with more people to staff it. This would create more jobs in the area. As to how to make it profitable, well there is none, but you could put detainies to work washing cars, picking up trash on road sides, or maybe cleaning up trash in eldely peoples yards...earning their keep.

Quoting Randalman:
First, too many "drug offeneders" are behind bars, legalize the mess, charge a hefty tax and decriminalize it, no I dont use, but put violent offenders behind bars, no your average Joe pothead. Geez. What is wrong with our system cant enforece it to stop it, so legalize it, take the crime out of it, let the farmers farm it. Seriously are we that backwoods American, let adults make their own choices in this matter

Yeah bro, cough, cough, ummm, yeah. Like, really.....um how they gonna tax what you grow in your basement? Hefty tax would just make people grow MORE of their own. If it is legal to buy it it should be legal to grow it, right? You seem to be underestimating the value of a dollar!

DO NOT decriminalize pot unless you want Juarez, NC as your neighborhood.

If you have ever had the chance to visit the detention center in Halifax Co., you will see that it is beyond capasity at any given time. This is the reason that bonds for (pot) dealers and such are so low. The system is just over-whelmed with more serious crimes, and the dealers know this. It's not a police problem, but more a judicial problem.

Crime, especially drug related crime, is about the only growth sector we have in this area. We could create jobs by building and staffing bigger prisons, if only we could figure out a way to make them profitable.

It's really hilarious when someone like "CHRIS" talks down about Law Enforcement, when he has no freaking idea what he is talking about. But I bet "CHRIS" will be the first one calling the Police when the crap hits the fan.


hmm, so because I asked why it took 5 years of tax dollars being spent on an investigation, to serve this warrant, that gave you reason to think I would hide behind the police when "the crap hits the fan"?
Amazing logic you have there, "CUB". I'll guess you are related to this fine citizen, or connected to her case somehow.

I totally agree with Chris. It takes entirely too long for the police dept. to get some of these drug dealers. Often times when they do get them, the bond is so low that they're out the next day, if not the same one. And, what does his comments have to do with calling the police dept. to do their job!!!

"The execution of the search warrant was based on investigation since 2007"

Really? Since 2007.. Why would it take almost 5 years to serve a warrant on a drug dealer? I know the police dept is busy with softball games, and protecting the Waffle House but it seems like they could have taken a few minutes to get a known pusher off the streets. Hopefully there is more to the story as to why it took so long.
