Roxboro police arrest pair of
drug-related charges
- 10/20/05
 

Roxboro police arrested two persons Monday on drug-related charges.

The two are alleged to have altered a prescription in an attempt to obtain additional percocet pills at a local pharmacy. The prescription was reportedly altered from an initial count of 10 pills to 110.

Thirty-three-year-old Lenora Jackson Wilson of 329 Owens St. and 34-year-old Carlos Devels Wilson of Durham were each charged in connection with the incident.

The two face felony charges of attempting to obtain a controlled substance by forgery and conspiracy.

The two, who are scheduled to appear in Person County District Court on Nov. 25 to face the charges, were each held in custody under a $5,000 secured bond.

Deputies with the Person County Sheriff's Department arrested 23-year-old Ricky Lee Grimes of 234 Kelly Carver Rd. last Thursday on a host of drug-related charges following a traffic stop at the intersection of Memorial Drive and North Main Street. The arrest marked the second time within the past month Grimes has been jailed on drug-related charges.

Last Thursday, Grimes was charged with felony counts of possession of cocaine, possession of oxycontin and maintaining a vehicle for the sale and delivery of narcotics. In addition, Grimes was charged with misdemeanor counts of possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Deputies reportedly found two grams of powder cocaine, 15 doses of oxycontin and 4.1 grams of marijuana during a search of Grimes' vehicle.

Grimes was held in custody under a $50,000 secured bond. He is slated to appear in Person County District Court on Oct. 25 to face the charges.
