WRAL Reports on Drug Unit Undercover Sting Operation
"At the Sanford Motel, room service included crack cocaine, according to Lee County sheriff’s deputies. “Mostly they called the front desk, implied what they wanted, and it was delivered to them,” Capt. John Holly said. On Friday, after a six-week undercover operation, deputies arrested the motel’s owner and two employees for selling and delivering cocaine. Kenneth Lee Haggerty, 39, the owner; Cathy Bryant Tyner, 44, the live-in motel operator; and Dennis Martin Farmer,24, Haggerty's son who also lived at the motel, were all arrested. Haggerty and Tyner were charged with multiple counts of sale and delivery of cocaine, possession with intent to sell and deliver cocaine, and conspiracy to sell and deliver cocaine. Farmer was charged with possession with intent to sell and distribute cocaine."

And we thought crack houses were the worst of the problem! Room service for drugs!! Here is a motel operating right on US 1 where it seems it was just a matter of sending in some undercover agents to make a few buys before busting the doors down and taking them to jail.
This new drug unit of Sheriff Carter's is sending a real message to drug dealers.
Things like this and the gambling casino operating right across from the courthouse are the reason I and a lot of people like me voted for a change in the sheriffs office.
If we had not elected Tracy Carter, it would have been business as usual. Good job sheriff.
These recent events validate why change at the sheriff's office was much needed. It appears that the past administration just let things go and turned a blind eye to crime in Lee County. Also, what was the city/county drug unit during over the past several years besides cruising the precincts on election day?
I can tell you what the city county drug unit was doing in the county, NOTHING
