♦ John Clinton Dunbar, 40, of Salisbury was stopped Wednesday by Rowan County Sheriff’s deputies at Johnson Dairy Road and Highway 52 in Rockwell due to a domestic and trespassing issue at a home on Johnson Dairy Road. Allegedly Dunbar was driving with a revoked license and his Jeep bore a fake tag. This led to Dunbar being charged with a revoked license and registration violations.
Shortly after the stop, the deputies inspected Dunbar’s white Jeep and found digital scales with a alleged drug residue on it. An indepth vehicle inspection with a K-9 dog found drugs in a safe on the passenger side. Inside the safe were 301 grams of crystal meth valued at approximately $30,000. The safe also contained small quantities of oxycodone, morphine, diazepam, alprazolam, buprenorphine, and assorted syringes and plastic baggies.
Dunbar was charged with possession with intent to manufacture/sell/deliver control manufacture Schedule II (meth) (felony), possession of drug paraphernalia (misdemeanor), Driving while license revoked (misdemeanor), possession with intent to manufacture/sell/deliver a controlled substance schedule IV (felony), possession with intent to manufacture/sell/deliver controlled substance III (felony), maintain a dwelling/vehicle for a controlled substance (felony), traffic in drugs (felony), and possession of drug paraphernalia (misdemeanor).
