Traffic stop results in heroin bust


On November 3, 2009 a patrol officer with the Henderson Police Department conducted a traffic stop in the 500 Block of Young Avenue.

Subsequent to the stop, the officer found 180 bindles of heroin on the driver, Cager Jones of 836 State Street in Henderson, North Carolina.

Jones was arrested for possession with the intent to manufacture, sell, and deliver a Schedule I controlled substance, maintaining a vehicle for a controlled substance, and possession of drug paraphernalia.

He was taken before a magistrate and was given a $40,000 secured bond pending a court date of November 17, 2009. Jones was then transported to the Vance County Jail where three additional bindles of heroin were located on his person along with crack cocaine. He was then charged with possession of a Schedule II controlled substance and possession of a controlled substance in a jail, and he was given an additional $20,000 secured bond for the additional charges.

Jones is listed as being on twenty-four month supervised probation for a conviction of felony breaking and entering and felony larceny. These charges were from an arrest involving copper theft from a residence on Wester Ave in Henderson in June of 2008.
