Patrols in the Brandy Creek and Wallace Fork Road community of Roanoke Rapids resulted in two arrests over the weekend.

On Saturday, Officer Roy Ball of the city’s police department arrested Laverne Bradley, 66, for possession of schedule II — crack cocaine — and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Ball was patrolling the community shortly before 9:45 p.m. when he stopped a 1985 Buick for suspicious behavior.

When he approached the vehicle he allegedly saw a crack rock in Bradley’s lap and two push rods for a crack pipe beside him in the car.

Bradley was jailed on $500 secure bond and has a May 25 court date.

On Sunday, Ball arrested Gino Mitchell Jr., 38, of Roanoke Rapids, for a probation violation from Guilford County and possession of drug paraphernalia.

When Ball stopped the vehicle he learned Mitchell had an outstanding order for arrest and discovered a crack pipe in the car.

Lieutenant O.L. Morgan assisted Ball in the stop, which occurred shortly before 11:30 p.m.

Mitchell was jailed on $500 secured bond.

The enforcement is part of the police department’s effort to address citizen concerns in the community, Captain Andy Jackson said.
