Deputies in Halifax County said a mid-week drug bust not only took drugs off the street, it put two known dealers in jail.
The Halifax County Sheriff's Office said on Wednesday around 8:42AM, they served a search warrant in the Lincoln Heights Community in Roanoke Rapids. Deputies said they found 30 individually wrapped bags of cocaine-ready for sale, crack cocaine ready for sale, personal use marijuana, prescription pills and ammunition.
