ROCKINGHAM – Sheriff James E. Clemmons has his deputies focused on the enforcement of drug laws in Richmond County.
Three Winston-Salem individuals were arrested on Friday, June 8th, after a traffic stop that resulted in the seizure of over 200 grams of a substance suspected to be marijuana.
Adolfo Noyolh Lopez, 24, of Arita Circle, Winston-Salem; Mioses Qiterio, 25, of Wanda Way, Winston-Salem; and Edward Thomas Marin, 22, of Arita Circle, Winston-Salem, were arrested and charged with felony possession of a Schedule VI controlled substance; possession with intent to sell and deliver a Schedule VI controlled substance; and maintaining a vehicle for the transport of a Schedule VI controlled substance.
All three persons were processed into the Richmond County Detention Center and are awaiting trial under a secured bond of $25,000 each.
Another drug-related arrest was conducted on Monday, June 11th. Deputies arrested Victoria Raquel Clayton, 35, of Hatcher Road, Rockingham and charged her with the manufacture of methamphetamine; five counts of possession of precursors for the manufacture of methamphetamine; possession of drug paraphernalia; and child abuse.
The child abuse charge was precipitated by the fact that Clayton had children present in the home at the time of the methamphetamine manufacture.
Clayton was processed into the Richmond County Detention Center to await trial under a secured bond of $55,000.
Defendants are presumed innocent of all charges until proven guilty in a court of law.
