Police make four arrests in three separate cases

CORRESPONDENT Van Holland The Daily Southerner Thu Oct 25, 2012, 01:24 PM EDT

TARBORO — Two people were arrested Friday night for possessing over 230 grams of marijuana inside their Pender Square Apartment and are accused of selling more than 230 grams before officers arrived to search the residence. One ounce equals 28.3 grams.

Tarboro Police Cpl. Rick Mann received information that 32-year old Rickey Gray Grant, Jr. and 23-year old Ebony Monique Murphy were in possession of marijuana and were selling it from their residence in apartment D-2.

Mann served a search warrant on the residence and, while inside, seized 234 grams of marijuana and learned the couple had just sold another 234 grams of marijuana prior to his arrival. Officers also seized different types of drug paraphernalia as well as a set of scales.

Mann charged the couple with possession with intent to sell and deliver marijuana, felony possession of marijuana, maintain a place to store a controlled substance and possession of marijuana. Grant was placed in the Edgecombe County Detention Center under a $10,000 secured bond and Murphy received a $2,500 secured bond.

In a separate incident Thursday, officers were patrolling Main Street and saw a suspect they knew had an outstanding warrant against him as he entered a business. Officers approached 25-year old Montravis Bunn, of 2416 Mill Pond Road, Hobgood and advised him of the warrant.

Bunn told officers he needed to tell the person he was riding with about the situation so they could meet him at the magistrate's office and pick him up. As Bunn turned away, officers saw him reach inside his pants pocket and throw something inside the vehicle. Officers went to the vehicle and saw a plastic bag that contained 10 indivdually wrapped pieces of crack cocaine.

Officers seized the drugs and charged Bunn with possession with intent to sell and deliver cocaine, felony possession of cocaine, resist obstruct delay public officer and injury to personal property. He was placed in jail under a $2,000 secured bond.

In a third case, officers were called to a Phillips Street residence because someone had broken into two vehicles. As Cpl. Mike Trevathan was responding to the scene he saw a suspicious vehicle pulling away near the scene and stopped it. Inside the vehicle was 30-year old Marco Charles Harris, 243 Colonial Road. After speaking with Harris, Trevathan let the vehicle go once he cleared the suspect, but as he arrived on the scene officers asked Trevathan to use his K-9 to track. The K-9 tracked to where Trevathan had released the suspect and put out a BOLO (Be on the Look Out) for Harris.

Officers found Harris and brought him back to the scene and the victims identified him as the suspect. He was charged with two counts of breaking and entering a motor vehicle and two counts of larceny. He was placed in jail under a $20,000 secured bond.

Food

Great fondue
My husband and I love to entertain. We also love fondue. I have 4 or 5 fondue pots. I use them regularly. Some of them I have had for a long time.
Fondue began as a way to use up old, hardened cheese. The original fondue was cheese with wine. You then dipped hardened pieces of bread into the mixture. In America, the 1950's was the height of the fondue craze. However, it appears to be making a comeback.
