According to the press release, the arrests came on the heels of a traffic stop conducted by the drug squad. Officers stopped a vehicle leaving from a suspected drug house during which drugs were discovered in the car.

Adam Thornton McLamb, 27, 3074 Old Mount Olive Highway, is charged with possession of heroin.
