'ONE OF MANY TO COME' Narcotics Squad Makes 55 Arrests In Three Day Drug Crackdown BY ERIC CARLSON The Brunswick County Sheriff's Department narcotics squatl launched a three-pronged crack down on illegal drug use and traf ficking during the past two weeks, resulting in the arrests of 55 people on charges involving cocaine, mari juana. alcohol and traffic offenses. I^ist Tuesday (March 22), drug officers Billy Hughes. Kevin Holdcn. Gary Shay and drug squad supervisor Lt. David Crocker set up a survciiiance and appielicusion op eration in north end of the county aimed at arresting drug users after they were observed purchasing ille gal drugs. Six people were charged with 13 felonies Tuesday night, said Crock er. who coordinated the three opera tions. In a major effort Thursday night, the drug squad targeted street deal ers in the Phoenix and Navassa communities outside Iceland. Operating in known drug-trafficking areas, officers arranged to purchase "rocks" of crack cocaine from deal ers who were then transported to a secure area and arrested. Five men were apprehended that night for alleged possession of con trolled substances with the intent to sell, along with numerous other charges, Crocker said. About $2.0(K) worth of crack cocaine, a small quantity of marijuana and several crack pipes were confiscated. Also pdiiicipaiiug in tiic operation Thursday were State Bureau of Investigation Agent Teresa West, Brunswick detectives Charlie Miller. Gene Caison. John Ingram, Steve Mason and Ken Messer, auxiliary deputies Rick Shupe. Mike Allen and Bill Miller, Ocean Isle Beach Police Officer Dan Hunter and "Colonel," the sheriff's department drug-sniffing dog. In the third effort on Friday, the drug squad conducted investigative traffic stops on U.S. 17 in the I.el.mil area with assistance from county ABC Officer Mike Speck, N.C. Highway Patrolman Roy Murray and N.C". Alcohol Law Enforcement officer Mark Senter. Four people were arrested on mis demeanor drug charges Friday. Seven were charged with ABC vio lations and about 30 were issued traffic citations for reckless driving, speeding, seat belt violations, dri ving without a license and other of fenses, Crocker said. "I'm really proud of these guys. They executed our plans well and adapted without a hitch as situations changed," Crocker said. He declined to attach a catchy name to the latest crackdown and expressed appreciation for the help of citizens who phoned in lips on drug activities in their neighbor hoods. "I'm not giving this operation a name, because 1 consider it just one of many to come," Crocker said. "1 would continue to encourage people to keep calling us. As long as the calls keep coming in, we'll keep kicking." Among those arrested on drug charges during the three-day effort were: ?Clarcncc Lewis Jr., 43, of Cedar Hill Road, Leland, on one charge each of possession with the intent to sell and deliver cocaine and posses sion of drug paraphernalia. ?Sylvester Lorenza Hooper, 28, of Dogwood Road, Leland, on a charge of possession with intent to sell and deliver cocaine. ?Walter Samuel Williams II, 40, of Main Street, Navassa. on one count each of felonious possession of a controlled substance with intent to sell and deliver and possession of drug paraphernalia. ?Richard Darnell Davis, 40, of Phoenix, on one count each of pos session with intent to sell and deliv er a controlled substance and pos session of drug paraphernalia.
