Captain A.M. Harris of the City County Drug Task Force said this morning the federal debriefings which helped lead to the arrests of Kelvin Stallings, 40, and his 37-year-old wife, Felicia, came as a result of “several cooperating defendants that have provided information about drug trafficking.”
Harris declined to say whether these tips were an effort to get time shaved off current or pending sentences or whether the complaints were tied to the August conviction in federal court of Randy Lynch.
Lynch, who is from the Hollister area, was sentenced to eight years fed time for cocaine distribution.

Harris said the couple have been on task force radar for some time. He said he was not sure whether the case from Monday would be adopted federally. “We have reached out to the DEA.”
In a statement on the matter, Harris said the investigation was conducted by Agent D. W. McKeel and the search warrant was executed just after 8 p.m. in the 3000 block of Medoc Mountain Road. The patrol division of the Halifax County Sheriff’s Office assisted.
With assistance from sheriff’s office Corporal P. Moyer and his dog, Bosco, agents seized approximately 33 grams of cocaine, some individually wrapped for sale.
McKeel arrested and charged the couple for trafficking in cocaine, felony possession of cocaine, possession with intent to sell and deliver cocaine and maintaining a dwelling for a controlled substance. Mr. Stallings received a $15,000 bond and his wife a $5,000 bond.
Both were confined to the Halifax County Detention Center with a February 15 court date.
The street value of the cocaine seizure is approximately $2,000, Harris said in the statement.
