Captain Jay Childers repots that two arrest warrants were executed in Rockingham within the past few days in separate incidents.
Damion Lashon Massey, 22, of McArthur Drive in Rockingham was arrested on Friday, October 13, subsequent to the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office Vice/Narcotics Unit making several controlled purchases of heroin from him. Massey was arrested and placed in the Richmond County Jail under a $100,000 secure bond.
Massey incurred multiple charges: possession of firearm by convicted felon; four (4) counts of selling/delivering a Schedule I controlled substance; two (2) counts of possession with intent to sell and deliver a Schedule I controlled substance; and two (2) counts of maintaining a vehicle for the purpose of selling/delivering a controlled substance.
The second arrest was that of Kodi Dean Grubbs, 31, of Aleo 7th Avenue in East Rockingham.
