Enfield police Chief Tyree said the raid was carried out shortly before 7 a.m. and led to the arrest of Derrick Montrell Rudd.

The raid came with assistance from Sergeant M. Brown and his dog, Mallie, of the Halifax County Sheriff's Office, Davis said in a statement. Davis declined further elaboration when contacted this afternoon.

The search warrant was approved following a two-month investigation and complaints from residents in the area. Detective Willie Murphy Jr. and Captain Dreher Bozard conducted the investigation.

During a search of a vehicle on the premises and the residence, officers located marijuana, small baggies and sandwich bags used to package the marijuana and a digital scale.

Murphy charged Rudd with felony possession with intent to sell and deliver marijuana, felony maintaining a vehicle and dwelling for controlled substances, possession of marijuana up to one-half ounce and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Rudd was jailed on $5,000 bond and assigned a July 13 court date.

Davis noted in the statement, “We will not reveal other drug campaigns or complaints that we are currently working but we want the citizens to know that we are listening.”
