Reedy Roosevelt Carter, Jr., 33, was found slumped against a wall in his northeast Charlotte apartment Nov. 28. A syringe was also found near his body. An autopsy report released Jan. 5 revealed that Carter had a lethal dose of heroin in his blood. Charlotte police believe that he probably injected the drug and then collapsed. Carter had been serving as Mecklenburg County's communi ty development director for the past 10 months. He supervised a small division with two project coordinators that administers federal grants to improve low income housing. Prior to his service there, he worked on similar projects in Warren County and Winston Salem. In Warren County, he served as the community development director for approx imately one year before accept ing the job in Charlotte. Charles Worth, Warren County manager, said about Carter's death, "It is a serious loss. He was well-liked by city officials as well as by the community. What happened is a tragedy." Police were called to Carter's apartment after a friend became concerned when he did not ap pear for work on Nov. 28 and could not be reached. They found Carter in the bathroom, fully clothed, his body wedged be tween the toilet and the wall. Police were unable to deter mine how long Carter had been dead. The death was ruled acciden tal. Police reports indicate there was no foul play and say that the overdose was not intentional. Toxicology tests performed by the state medical examiner's of fice in Chapel Hill revealed a 0.1 percent concentration of mor phine in Carter's blood. Heroin converts to morphine after enter ing the bloodstream. Unauthorized Entry Being Probed Here An incidence of alleged un authorized entry and theft, along with a report of property dam age, are under investigation here by the Warren County Sheriff's Department, a spokesperson there said Monday. According to the report filed by Sgt. Lawrence Harrison, Jana Baskett, of Rt. 1, Warrenton, on Jan. 12, reported a break-in and larceny at her residence. Reported missing were one double-barrel shotgun valued at $75, an AM/FM stereo radio-cas sette player valued at $150 and a small bowl of pennies valued at $5.

Local Bank Reports Highest Earnings Ever Peoples Bancorporation, which operates in Norlina Peoples Bank k Trust Co., last week reported the highest level of earnings ever to be achieved In a single month and a single quarter by the corporation. Earnings last December ex ceeded $1.0 million, with quarter ly net Income of $.28 million. Although a 0. 1 percent level is a small amount, a state medical examiner's office official con firmed that people have been known to die with lesser quantities. Heroin is rapidly absorbed in to the bloodstream. It causes the respiratory system to slow down thus preventing normal amounts of oxygen to reach tissues and organs. The result is death. Carter's death was the only heroin overdose death reported in Mecklenburg County last year.
