Roanoke Valley law enforcement reported the following:

Northampton County Sheriff’s Office Narcotics Division

Lieutenant C.A. Parker reported one man was charged on felony possession of cocaine counts Tuesday following a traffic violation in the Gatson area.

Parker said in a statement he and Sergeant R. Horton were in the Gaston area following up on drug complaints when they conducted a traffic stop in the area of Bay Street shortly after 9 p.m. The driver was identified as Marshawn High, 19, of Gaston.  

Upon approaching the vehicle and speaking with High, agents reportedly noticed a plastic bag in plain view containing a white powdery substance. 

A subsequent search of the vehicle resulted in the seizure of 20 grams of cocaine, a digital scale along with currency.

Horton arrested and charged High with possession with intent to sell and deliver cocaine and felony possession of cocaine. 

High received a $4,000 bond and December 31 court date. Agents of the United States Department of Homeland Security assisted with this investigation. 

Sheriff Jack Smith said, “The Northampton County Sheriff’s Office will continue to pursue individuals who violate drug offenses.”

Smith also commended Parker and Horton for the arrest and drug seizure. “We are committed to removing all illegal drugs from our communities in hopes that it will not get to our children. We are dedicated to making our citizens and neighborhoods safer. I would also like to thank the agents from the Department of Homeland Security for their assistance.”

Citizens are encouraged to report possible drug activity by calling the narcotics division at 252-534-2611 extension 175 or Crime Stoppers at 252-534-1110
