Two people are facing drug charges in two separate cases in Rocky Mounty.
George Perry was arrested just after 11:00 p.m. Friday at a home on Woodland Avenue.
Police say they found 2.33 grams of marijuana, drug paraphernalia, $197.00, and a counterfeit $10 bill during the search of the home.
Perry was charged with possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, and possession of counterfeit money. Perry received a $2,000 bond and was transported to the Edgecombe County Jail.
Also just after 11:00 p.m. Friday, another drug arrest took place on D.S. Pearl Street.
Police went to the apartment to serve a warrant on 27-year-old Tronyale Daniel and ended up arresting 23-year-old Jessie Lynch.
Police say they smelled marijuana upon their arrival, so they got a search warrant.
Officers say they found 12.28 grams of cocaine and $360.
Lynch was charged with possession with intent to sell and deliver cocaine, felony possession of cocaine and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
Warrants were obtained on Daniel for the same narcotics charges as well as maintaining a vehicle and maintaining a dwelling. Police say Daniels may be operating a Gray 1995 Cadillac Deville, NC Registration YWZ-9143 or a Green 1998 Honda Accord, NC Registration YWZ-9254.

WOW! Big bust in Rocky Mount.I sure hope the amount stated was a mistake,because if it is not I want some of my TAX money back.Does the Rocky Mount police department really have nothing better to do? What about a summons?I have forwarded this story to the Governors office and have asked for a cost breakdown of this arrest.
