Iredell Drug Bust Nabs Accused Meth Dealer

STONY POINT, NC — Tips from neighbors who complained to law enforcement about a high volume of traffic coming and going at a Stony Point home led to two arrests stemming from the sale of methamphetamine, according to the Iredell County Sheriff’s Office.

ICSO launched an investigation at the home in the 100 block of Dessie Lane in Stony Point after receiving the complaints, and documented “several hours” of methamphetamine purchases at the home during surveillance, according to Sheriff Darren Campbell.

Deputies then executed a search warrant Aug. 24, Campbell said in a statement Thursday.

Scottie Wayne Pharr, 43, and Jody Gene Johnson,30, the two suspects found in the home, were arrested and transported to the Iredell County Detention Center.

Deputies found two firearms in Pharr’s possession, in addition to methamphetamine, marijuana and drug paraphernalia, ICSO said. He was charged with felony possession of a firearm by convicted felon, felony possession of methamphetamine, felony possession with intent to sell and deliver marijuana, and felony maintain a dwelling or place to sell controlled substance.

Johnson was charged with possession of drug paraphernalia, which is a misdemeanor.
