Three men have been arrested on drug possession charges after an early morning drug bust, according to the Rockingham Police Department.

On Saturday, Feb. 18, the Rockingham Police Department S.W.A.T team executed a search warrant on 117 South Grove Ave., Rockingham. The search warrant was executed in response to an ongoing investigation into drug activity in the East Washington Street area by the Rockingham Police Department Vice/Narcotics Division, according to Interim Police Chief Major Billy Kelly.

The investigation began months ago when members of the community made numerous complaints about the residence, which led to the police department utilizing all it's resources during the probe, including surveillance and other tools.

Upon execution of the search warrant, it became clear that the complaints were well founded with numerous narcotics being seized, as well as drug paraphernalia, police said. Forrest Blue Jr., 40, of the listed residence, was charged with possession with intent to sell/deliver cocaine, possession with intent to sell/deliver marijuana and maintaining a residence for the sale of narcotics, according to police.

Also being charged was Darrell Preston Ford, 34, of the same residence, who was charged with possession with intent to sell/deliver cocaine, possession with intent to sell/deliver marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, maintaining a residence for the sale of narcotics, and habitual felon, said police. Both men were placed in the Richmond County Jail under a $50,000 bond.

“This search warrant is the second to be served in the East Washington Street area within the last two weeks, in an effort to help out the community, who continues to support the police department by making these phone calls and letting us know what is going on in their community,” said Major Kelly.

In another case, a second search warrant was executed by the Rockingham Police Department S.W.A.T Team on Saturday, Feb. 18, at 210 Great Falls Circle where Harold Lamont Brewington, 23, of the listed address, was charged with possession with intent to sell/deliver marijuana, maintaining a dwelling for the sale of narcotics, and possession of drug paraphernalia, police said.

Adept police work from a Rockingham patrolman Monday night led to the capture of two individuals suspected of breaking into at least 20 cars during Tuesday’s early morning hours.

The break-ins in question happened between the hours of midnight and 6 a.m. Tuesday morning in the vicinity of several apartment buildings located on Lady Mary Lane. There are still at least five vehicle break-ins from that night under investigation, however.

Both teens face 34 criminal charges, including conspiracy, actually breaking into 20 different vehicles, attempted larceny of a motor vehicle, two felony counts of larceny and numerous counts of misdemeanor larceny. Voorhees explained the distinction between felony and misdemeanor larceny depends on the property exceeding $1,000 in value, while the larceny or attempted larceny of a motor vehicle is always a felony.

  • Kenneth Lancaster, 17, of Old Gibson Road, Hamlet, was arrested and charged in connection with the break-ins. His bond was set at $20,000.
  • Christopher Schoonover, 17, of Champlain Street, Hamlet, was also arrested and charged in connection with the break-ins. His bond was also set at $20,000.
