Police have arrested a Roanoke Rapids man for allegedly trafficking Xanax, city police Chief Jeff Hinton said this morning.

The arrest stems from an investigation at 84 Madison St. where a marijuana plant was found in plain view in a tomato garden.

After seizing the plant, officers obtained consent to search the house and found 165 Xanax pills, Hinton said. They also found 135 grams of marijuana and paraphernalia.

Police charged Kenny Brooks with trafficking schedule IV — the Xanax — possession of a controlled substance without prescription label present, possession with intent to manufacture, sell or deliver marijuana, felony possession of schedule VI, maintaining a dwelling to keep a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Bond amount was not immediately available.
