A parade of evidence trickled from 300 Roanoke Avenue late this afternoon following a search warrant execution at that building and one at 298 Roanoke Avenue.

The robe and hood.

While most of the evidence was specifically associated with the indoor growing of marijuana — lamps, hydroponic trays and invertors — an officer also carried out a robe and hood resembling that used by the Ku Klux Klan. It was inscribed with KKK in red.

Roanoke Rapids police officers commissioned with carrying out and loading the box van with evidence were not authorized to speak with rrspin.com.

Officers also carried out a large amount of marijuana in a plastic trash bag.

The indoor operation was contained to a 3,000 square feet area on the third floor of the former Bargain Wonderland building.

The discovery of the operation was uncovered when officers searching the former Harding and Grizzard building at 298 Roanoke Avenue discovered links in possession to the buildings.

Evidence is lowered from the roof.

Kenneth Lewis Brooks, who is on probation for dog baiting back in April, is currently in custody awaiting charges, Major Tommy Hathaway of the police department said earlier today.

As of this report, no charges have been filed.

State Alcohol Law Enforcement Agent Tim Parker said the agency would not make any charges but the Roanoke Rapids Police Department will.

Parker said ALE was called to assist after four to five Mason jars of moonshine were found in the 298 Roanoke Avenue building.

ALE also assisted in a recent traffic stop involving Brooks where he allegedly had two and a half gallons of moonshine on him.
