The Halifax County Sheriff’s Office reported the following, according to Captain A.M. Harris:
Friday shortly after 7 p.m., narcotics agents executed a search warrant at a residence on West Clay Drive.
Agent C.A. Parker received information Taurean Shaw, 24, was selling drugs from his residence.
Parker was familiar with Shaw.
In March of 2018, Shaw mistakenly called Parker’s work cell phone stating “he had that smoke and to come through.”
Parker was working undercover and made a controlled purchase of marijuana from Shaw at the front door of his residence when he was residing in the city limits of Roanoke Rapids.
