Deputy M.A. Bishop of the Halifax County Sheriff’s Office seized 12 grams of cocaine from Willis Junior Jackson, 33, after the vehicle he was a passenger in was stopped for a lane violation around 5:45 p.m.

Chief Deputy Scott Hall said in a statement Bishop also seized a gram of marijuana, nine Oxycodone pills and two sets of digital scales.

Bishop reportedly found Jackson in possession of the drugs after the stop.

Bishop charged him with trafficking cocaine, possession of schedule II controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia, and possession of marijuana.

He was jailed on $7,000 secured bond and has a June 7 court date.

The driver was issued a written warning for the traffic violations.

Corporal D. Moore and Agent J. Matthews of the City County Drug Task Force assisted with the arrest.

It’s a travesty of justice these jackboots have the audacity to arrest someone on possession of marijuana charges, you write.
Pleased with your initial efforts because you are a J.D. Salinger or Jack Kerouac when you are blazed, you let some Phish Food ice cream dribble down your chin and onto your already stained keyboard and continue your missive, raging against the machine.
Seems we’ve written this column before but it probably bears repeating. “Hey, genius, you criminal defense expert, you armchair civil litigator, weed is still illegal in North Carolina.”
“But, dude, it’s so bogus, the cops trampling my civil rights, wasting my taxpayer dollars going after something God intended for us to share, break bud together in fellowship in a divine right of spiritual passage.”
OK, Cheech, can it. We’re pretty sure the taxpayer dollars you feel are being squandered probably belong to your parents, so whatever.
Perhaps instead of writing comments criticizing the cops you should take your ever-so eloquent Sylvia Plath brooding keyboard and fire off a letter to your elected state officials or your elected federal leaders, petition the DEA for a change in the scheduling.
Just because you, as you listen to hour-long tedious jams played on a vacuum hose by Phish, want marijuana to be legal, well it doesn’t make it so and you should wipe the Dorito dust from your sweatpants, join NORML or some other organization and fight for your right to party.
This is what makes the change, not you whining about it, not you preaching to your chronic choir on social media it’s so unfair and blah, blah, blah.
We had thought at one point about not running petty marijuana arrests because we truly believe in the legalization ourselves, believe it’s probably no more harmful than cigarettes and well, liquor, that legalized potent drug which those who scoff at ending the prohibition of weed point to. “It’s a gateway drug,” they cry. Yes a gateway to chocolate chip cookies and a midnight run to Taco Bell.
Then we thought, it wouldn’t be fair to those caught with other drugs — heroin, cocaine and the pain pills, the many painkillers which represent an insidious problem here and across the country.
So, no, suck it up, we’re sticking to our guns and will continue reporting these arrests until a time comes weed is made legal.
So whatchu gonna do? Continue railing and ranting about every little story that comes across? If you want to see real change, lick the Cheetos stains from your fingers, put on a shirt that doesn’t reek and start lobbying for change.
And don’t tell us the cops should do more about the heroin problem. Heck, they just made the largest bust of the year from a supply pipeline that ran from Patterson, New Jersey to Scotland Neck and a guy who’s getting ready for sentencing has taken a plea for selling right in the Lincoln Heights community. And then there’s those cops, 14 of them have already pled and while it was fake drugs they were transporting, the greed and intent was there.
It’s easy to forget those stories when you’re chomping at the bit like a fighting dog to find fault that the cops, God forbid, are doing what they’re sworn to do, it’s just they’ve attacked something you hold near and dear like a cherished Sublime album or maybe your dealer or close friend was busted.
Nope, as much as we believe marijuana should be legalized, it doesn’t matter many dealers are turning their businesses into candy stores where you get what you want and when you want it like the open air market on Church Street.
So where does that leave you? Do you now not hold the dealers accountable for everything they’re selling just because you have these vivid dreams of one day sucking down a joint while strolling the avenue?
Come on, dude, you guys are smarter than that, channel your passion where it needs to go, to our lawmakers, to organizations which can help make the change and not at our law enforcement officers who can’t turn their eyes away from something that currently stands as illegal.
Fire up in the privacy of your homes but know the risks, clean up the stains on your keyboards and point your Henry Miller stream of consciousness rants to the ones who can tell the po-lice it’s now OK to listen to your Widespread Panic albums on your phone as you smoke a fatty on your porch because it’s legal — Lance Martin

In a statement on the matter, Davis said the stabbing occurred last Friday around 7 p.m. at PDQ Apartments on North McDaniel Street.
Lieutenant Daniel Jones and Officer Willie Hammiel responded to the stabbing call.
Hammiel located the victim and discovered she had a 2-inch long laceration on her upper left arm.

The victim identified her attacker as 54-year-old Mary M. Alston of Enfield.
Halifax County EMS transported the victim to Halifax Regional Medical Center in Roanoke Rapids where she was treated and released.
Jones and Hammiel questioned witnesses who were on the scene. The witnesses also identified Alston.
While questioning Alston, the knife reportedly used was seized.
Alston was taken into custody and charged with assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury.
She was held on a $1,000 bond. She has a June 13 court date.

Thus far this year, 47 officers have died, a number up 31 percent over last year, Roanoke Rapids Chief Chuck Hasty said.

The ceremony was to be held at the Fallen Officers Memorial at Centennial Park, which was dedicated last year.
The memorial honors fallen city police officers Clifton L. Massey, Lieutenant William Edward Vaughan and Sergeant Calvin Edward Daniel.
E.C. “Fats” Warren, who is retired from the Halifax County Sheriff’s Office, was the guest speaker this evening.

He met with reporters this morning before giving the commencement address at Halifax Community College.
“More people die in North Carolina every day from drug overdose. Drug overdose is now the number one cause of accidental death in North Carolina, more than car crashes,” he said in response to questions on the matter posed by rrspin. “It’s the first time in decades that anything other than car crashes is the number one cause of accidental death.”
Stein said the problem is evolving. “It primarily starts with prescription opioids, Oxycontin, Oxycodone and others. People get addicted either because they get it prescribed to them or they may be a young person who goes into their parents medicine cabinet and takes them as extra pills and then they get addicted that way. Eighty percent of people on heroin start out with a prescription drug addiction.”
What’s happening now in the state, Stein said, “Is we’re seeing a bit of a transition from prescription pills to heroin and a chemical analog called Fentanyl and those are highly deadly. The number of deaths that result from overdose of pills has been fairly constant for the last five to eight years, about 500 people a year. But if you look at the number who are dying from Fentanyl and heroin overdoses it’s like a spike. Last year was the first year that more people died from heroin and Fentanyl than died from prescription pills.”
What that has created, he said, is “a real crisis on our hands and it’s going to require a multifaceted long-term approach and a long-term commitment to address it.”
He said said he believes the comprehensive solution hinges on prevention, treatment and enforcement.
“On the prevention side, we have to do a better job of educating young people about the risk. Survey data shows most young people think that a prescription drug isn’t as dangerous because it’s from a doctor. One out of every five eleventh graders last year reported taking prescription drugs of which they were not prescribed which is highly risky.”
Stein said the state has to do a better job having doctors and dentists prescribe more smartly. “There’s just too many pills out there. There were 10 million scripts written last year, 700 million pills, the majority of those pills are just sitting in medicine cabinets and that’s where they can get diverted by young people.”
The number of people getting addicted, he said, can be reduced by doctors and dentists prescribing smarter.
“We have to invest more resources as a county, as a state, as a city in drug treatment.
When I talk to law enforcement agencies what I hear over and over again is that we will not arrest our way out of this problem. This is a demand problem as much as or more than it is a supply problem.
“We have to help people stop being addicted because there are hundreds of thousands of North Carolinians with an addiction, not all heroin or opioid addiction. But only one out of 10 people who had a substance use disorder last year got any kind of treatment. We would not accept it if 90 percent of people with heart disease or diabetes did not get medical care but we do somehow for substance abuse disorder.”
Stein said substance abuse disorder is an illness, “a chronic illness, it changes your brain chemistry so we have to do more in treatment.”
Legislation called the Stop Act is proposed to address smarter prescribing and it appropriates more money for treatment.
The third element, enforcement, he said, “Means making sure we give local law enforcement the tools that they need to effectively fight this crime because there are drug trafficking organizations that are making millions of dollars on the death and misery that they create in our state and they need to be punished.”
The proposed Synthetic Opioid Control Act is designed to close loopholes in the state’s controlled substances laws to deal with the development of Fentanyl. “It was a particular analog of Fentanyl which was responsible for 77 deaths we know of in North Carolina last year.”
The particular analog, he said, is not illegal under state law. “We need to make sure that we update our laws to deal with all these new variations. It used to be that opium and heroin came from the plant, the opium poppy. Now it comes from a chemistry lab and we’ve got to make sure the laws reflect that because it’s exceptionally dangerous.”
Fentanyl, he said, is deadly. “Fentanyl the size of a grain of salt can kill you. It’s that potent. It’s 50 to 100 times more potent than heroin.”
On the enforcement side, he said, “One thing I do is I can approve wiretap applications and wiretaps when there’s probable cause are very effective tools at going into the heart of these trafficking organizations. Once you get into their electronic networks you just see how the web goes out there.”
Stein said he is currently meeting with law enforcement to determine their needs. “I look forward to hearing from local law enforcement about what they need from the state and I will go fight for them to make sure they have the tools that they need.”

While he said the day was a turning point in the lives of the graduates he also said it was time of celebration. “You have accomplished something excellent. You should be immensely proud of yourselves.”
He told the staff of the college, “You were there encouraging and supporting them. You encouraged the students and helped them learn new things. You prepared them for what’s ahead.”

(See related story at this link)

He told the graduates to not be in too big of a rush to find the dream job. “The odds of landing the first job are slim. Get your feet wet and hone your skills. Find a career that excites you.”
Stein said the economy has changed. “Very, very rarely will a graduate stay with the same employer. Most people have 10 jobs by the time they’re 40.”
He encouraged them to take advantage of training to enhance their job skills to advance in their professions.
Stein told the class they will find themselves in the work world torn between their job duties and outside obligations. “We want you to work to live. Not live to work.”
He would like to see the students contribute to their communities. “Civic responsibility is what makes our communities special.”
That comes from things as simple as giving back to local charities, running for public office or voting. “Participating in the political system is one way you have the opportunity to give back. We all have the opportunity to participate and improve our community. Find your way to make the Roanoke Valley strong and beautiful as possible.”
He told them, “Never stop challenging yourself, never stop learning. We wish you good luck and hearty congratulations.”

Sheriff Wes Tripp said in a statement deputies and City County Drug Task Force agents are looking for these drugs and encourage the public to contact a drug agent or deputy if found.
The heroin was seized within recent weeks, he said.
Tripp said this evening black tar heroin is a form of heroin that is “probably the most dangerous heroin out there. We’re not dismissing any other drug as dangerous, all drugs are dangerous. This one seems to be even more so.
Black tar heroin, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse is sticky like roofing tar or hard like coal.
A study by the National Center for Biotechnology Information said it is often heavier than regular powdered heroin and usually wrapped in plastic and sealed in tiny balloons for sale.
The NIDA, referenced on the website opium.com, says the form of heroin looks the way it does because of crude processing methods which leave behind impurities.
Those who use black tar heroin, the website says, will usually be people who have been addicted for a while and do note care whether the drug is pure or impure.
Black tar heroin has been known to cause issues such as wound botulism, soft tissue infection and tetanus.

The Lady Vikings gave a strong showing with several players going down with injuries in a very physical game.

This was a true team victory with several of the backup players having to step into key roles as the game wore on. The defense, consisting of Jordan Strickland in goal, along with Anna Garrett, Karley Eason, Hailey Eason, Brittany Milan and Abby George filling in for Kate Starnes in the second half played huge against an extremely dangerous offense for Neuse.

"When Kate when down with an injury near halftime, we knew we had to play with heart and grit to secure the win. Maria Liles and Chloe Alston filled in today and held their own nicely in a big game," stated head Vikings coach Tim George. "They've worked all year to be ready for a day like today and it paid off," George added.

Goals for Halifax were scored by Whitney George with two and Maddie Suiter. Abby George had two assists.

With the #1 seed being upset today by #9 seeded Hickory Christian (10-3-3), this allows the Lady Vikings a home game this Tuesday hosting the #9 seed Hickory Christian. Time TBA.

Players of the game were Christopher Skinner of Chichester Law Office and Keon Forbs of Askew Funeral Services.

Halifax had two golfers, Garrett Smith and Kate Hawkins, who were named to the All Conference Team.  Garrett finished 2nd and Kate finished 5th overall in the conference. They also finished 8th and 15th respectively in the 1A State rankings out of 104 golfers.

Halifax finished the season 7th in the States 1A division and will be heading to Pinehurst to compete in the 1A Playoffs on Monday and Tuesday at Foxfire Resorts Red Course (May 15 and 16).

The Jackets started off hot in the bottom of the first inning to take a 3-0 lead.  Marcus Allen had a 2 RBI single to score Cameron Rogerson and Hunter Connell.  Allen would later score on an RBI groundout by Josh Elias.  

It would not take the Yellow Jackets long to add to their lead. In the bottom of the 2nd inning, Hunter Connell would have a 2 RBI single to score Tommy Bradley and Cameron Rogerson.  This would give RRHS a 5-0 lead after 2 innings of play.

RRHS would score 2 more runs in the 4th inning to take a 7-0 lead.  Marcus Allen would score on an RBI single from Aaron Jackson.  Colby Warren later score on an RBI bases loaded walk to Tommy Bradley.

The Yellow Jackets would finish off the scoring in the bottom of the 6th inning when Aaron Jackson would score on a passed ball.

Josh Elias then shut down East Duplin in the top of the 7th to seal the victory.  Elias pitched the complete game shutout giving up only 5 hits while striking out 4 batters.

Yellow Jackets coach Mark Snead stated, "Just like the 1st round win, this was a complete game effort.  We were really strong in all 3 phases of the game.  Josh pitched another great game.  He kept them off balance by mixing up his pitches and not giving them anything too good to hit.  Our defense was once again excellent tonight.  We made some great plays behind Josh and shut down all of their scoring chances.  On offense we came out and set the tone early.  We were aggressive when we got pitches to hit and it really paid off.  I am really happy for our guys and excited about how well they played."

RRHS improves to 20-3 on the season and will now advance to the 3rd round of the NCHSAA 2A State Playoffs.  The Yellow Jackets will hit the road in the next round as they travel to Edenton to take on the #2 seed Edenton John A. Holmes Aces. 

The game is set for Tuesday, May 16 at 7pm and will be aired on WPTM 102.3 FM and on the web at www.1023wptm.com

Roanoke Rapids police Chief Chuck Hasty said the kidnapping charge against the man, Wayne William Kaye, 33, reflected he would not allow the victim to leave a residence in the 1000 block of Jackson Street.

Desare charged Kaye with kidnapping, assault on a female and an unauthorized use of vehicle count from Nash County.
Kaye was jailed without opportunity for bond due to the domestic nature of the case.
Lieutenant J. Baggett and Officer C. Fortier assisted.

Identity theft

On Saturday around 2 p.m., Tiawan I. Hockaday, 43, of Roanoke Rapids, surrendered to Master Office J. Benthall on outstanding warrants.
She was served warrants for identity theft, uttering, financial card theft and exploiting the disabled.

The victim reported the card missing on March 24 and Officer H. Grimes investigated the case.
Hockaday received a $40,000 bond and May 19 court date.

Traffic stop

On Friday around 10:30 p.m., Lieutenant P. Parks conducted a traffic stop for a violation on Tenth Street near Green.
Troy Antwan Herring, 24, of Roanoke Rapids, was found in possession of narcotics and paraphernalia.
Herring was cited for failing to comply with license restrictions, possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, revoked tags, no insurance, fictitious tags, no inspection and failing to register vehicle.
Officers J. Spragins and R. Cross, along with his dog, Midas, assisted.

Janet was born in Hartford, Connecticut, to the late Stanley Thomas and Marion Wallinovich Krawezyk. She was also preceded in death by her husband Clifford Lyon.

Janet is survived by her son, Andrew Paklos of Gaston, NC, and her brother, Tom Krawezyk, of Marlboro, MA.
