A 47-year-old Roanoke Rapids woman was charged Wednesday with marijuana possession counts following an investigation by the Halifax County Sheriff's Office.

Narcotics Agent J. Puhak said agents from the sheriff's office conducted a search of a house in the 400 block of Airbase Road and were assisted by uniformed officers.

The execution of the search warrant was based on investigation since 2007 and driven by citizen complaints, followup by narcotics detectives and information from previous arrests.

The search resulted in the discovery of an undisclosed weight of marijuana, several items of drug paraphernalia and a firearm.

Eva Denise Faulcon was charged with possession with intent to sell and deliver schedule VI; simple possession of schedule VI and possession of drug paraphernalia.

She was jailed on $10,000 bond and has a February 1 court date.
