Salisbury man facing multiple drug charges following warrant execution

Salisbury Police officers and narcotics detectives executed a combined arrest and search warrant at a Bringle Ferry Road residence in the 1200 block of the street.

Those warrants were executed on Nov. 5, and as a result, Ronald Heggins Jr. was taken into custody by detectives. Heggins was initially processed on three active arrest warrants. Following his apprehension, a subsequent search of his person and the residence yielded a variety of additional controlled substances and illicit items.

Heggins faced a litany of charges including: possession with intent to manufacture, sell or deliver cocaine; sell/deliver cocaine; maintaining a dwelling for a controlled substance.

As a result of the search warrant, additional charges were added, including: possession of cocaine; possession with intent to manufacture, sell or deliver; maintaining a dwelling; simple possession of a schedule III controlled substance; possession of drug paraphernalia; and resisting an officer.

Heggins was transported to the Rowan County Detention Center, where he was issued a $100,000 secured bond.
