A stop on a vehicle with broken rear glass resulted in the arrest of an Enfield man on drug charges Monday afternoon.

Lieutenant Shane Guyant of the Halifax County Sheriff’s Office said Sergeant E. Richardson and Deputy J. Snider were conducting a “proactive patrol” near South McDaniel Street in Enfield when they observed the Kia Optima in front of them. The deputies also learned that the registration of the vehicle operated by Daquan Whitaker, 27, had expired.

The deputies detected a strong odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle, which resulted in a probable cause search inside.

The deputies located 28 grams of marijuana, several items of paraphernalia and a concealed handgun.

Whitaker was charged with the registration violation, possession with intent to sell and deliver marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, carrying a concealed weapon, and driving while license revoked.  

He received a $1,000 bond and Wednesday court date.
