ROCKINGHAM — Three people are accused of trafficking heroin and two others are charged with drug possession after investigators served a search warrant at a Richmond County home.
According to the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office, the search warrant “was the result of a lengthy investigation that investigators had been working related to complaints of the individuals selling illegal narcotics.”
The warrant was served Oct. 5 by the investigators with the RCSO Community Impact Team and Special Response Team at a home on Westwood Drive, just southwest of Rockingham, according to a press release issued Oct. 9.
Investigators searched the residence, outbuildings and vehicles and reportedly found and seized:
- 422 grams of heroin
- 13 dosage units of amphetamine salt
- 47 dosage units of oxycodone
- Two handguns (of unspecified caliber
- one rifle (of unspecified caliber
- Unspecified quantity of Suboxone strips
- $12,420 in U.S. currency
- “assorted drug paraphernalia used to package narcotics”
Two residents of the home, 44-year-old Quincey Delyn Mahar and 39-year-old Chastity Perkins Mahar, were both arrested and each charged with: trafficking in opium or heroin; possession with intent to manufacture, sell or deliver a Schedule I controlled substance; possession of a Schedule I controlled substance; and maintaining a vehicle, dwelling or place for a controlled substance.
Quincey Mahar was also charged with simple possession of a Schedule III controlled substance and possession of a firearm by a felon. He was booked into the Richmond County Jail where, as of Oct. 9, was still being held on a combined $225,000 secured bond.
Chastity Mahar is being held on a $200,000 secured bond.
Ronald Lee Mundy, 37, of Rockingham, was also charged with trafficking in opium or heroin, as well as possession with intent to manufacture, sell or deliver a Schedule I controlled substance and possession of a Schedule I controlled substance.
Jail records show Mundy is also charged with three felony probation violations. He is being held on a combined $160,000 secured bond.
Investigators also charged 42-year-old Amy Hogan and 33-year-old William Jacob Goins, both of Ellerbe.
Hogan is charged with both possession of a Schedule II and Schedule III controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia. She was released on a $10,000 unsecured bond.
Goins is charged with possession of methamphetamine and possession of drug paraphernalia. He was released on a $1,000 unsecured bond.
None of the suspects appear to have any other pending charges in North Carolina.
The current charges are not yet reflected in online state court records, so the dates for their court appearances are unknown.
All three men charged have prior convictions, according to online records with the N.C. Department of Adult Correction.
In 1996, Quincey Mahar was convicted in Scotland County on six counts of larceny, five counts of breaking and entering, and one count of breaking and entering vehicles. It appears the breaking and entering charges were later upgraded from misdemeanors to felonies.
Quincey Mahar initially was given probation, then served less than three months in 1996, then served three consecutive sentences from August of 1997 to January of 1999.
Records show Qunicey Mahar’s only other conviction in the state was in 2013 for driving with a revoked license.
Mundy is currently serving a 36-month suspended sentence following a 2021 conviction on felony charges of breaking and entering, larceny and safecracking in Rockingham County.
The prior year, Mundy was convicted of assault by pointing a gun in Rockingham County, and felony charges of larceny and breaking and entering in Caswell County.
Mundy’s first conviction was in 2004 for breaking and entering, and larceny in Rockingham County. His probation on the B&E charge was revoked four months later and he was incarcerated for eight months.
In February 2009, Mundy was convicted in Rockingham County of breaking and entering, larceny after breaking and entering, safecracking, and resisting a public officer.
Six months later, Mundy was convicted in Sampson County of: two counts of robbery with a dangerous weapon (one being conspiracy); assault with a deadly weapon; first-degree kidnapping; felony breaking and entering; possessing stolen goods; and possession of a firearm by a felon. He served just more than nine years behind bars.
Goins was convicted in 2016 of possession of a controlled substance.
All defendants facing criminal charges are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
