Aberdeen Police Chief Brian Chavis said narcotics and a firearm were found during a June traffic stop.
Twenty-year-old Adrian Wright, of Aberdeen, was pulled over in the Berkley community on June 7.
“During the course of the traffic stop, investigators located narcotics in plain view,” announced Chavis in a press release. “Schedule Ill Substances were observed, and Wright was placed under arrest. After a search incident to arrest, a firearm was located, and Wright was charged with Possession of a concealed firearm and Possession of Schedule Ill. Additional unidentified contraband was located and submitted to the NC State Crime Lab for analysis.”
Chavis stated that his department received lab results on Oct. 3, which indicated that the unidentified contraband contained methamphetamine. Investigators obtained a warrant on Wright for felony possession of Schedule II.
Aberdeen Police arrested Wright and took him before a Moore County magistrate, where he was given no immediate bond, pending bond setting by a judge at a later date.
