Task force Captain A.M. Harris said Derrick Lamont Shearin, of Weldon, allegedly sells “a lot of pot” on The Strip and other areas of what is traditionally called South Weldon.
Harris said Shearin was at his parents’ house today when Agent C.A. Parker served a search warrant based on citizen complaints and the agent’s own investigation.
The warrant, with assistance from Weldon police Sergeant T.L. Mason and his dog, Rio, was served shortly after 2:30 p.m. on West Eleventh Street, Harris said in a statement.
Mason and Rio helped agents seize a digital scale, a box of plastic bags and approximately 291 grams of marijuana, most which was packaged for sale.
Parker arrested and charged Shearin for felony possession of marijuana, possession with the intent to sell and deliver marijuana, possession of marijuana paraphernalia, and maintaining a vehicle or dwelling for a controlled substance.
He received a $15,000 bond with an October 26 court date.
