ONSLOW COUNTY, NC — A 29-year-old Jacksonville man is behind bars after warrants state a traffic stop led to the discovery of fentanyl, methamphetamine, and other drug-related evidence.
Lethen Pollock Jr. was arrested Wednesday, March 11, by the Onslow County Sheriff’s Office and is now facing a long list of charges. Those include possession with intent to manufacture, sell, and deliver fentanyl, possession with intent to manufacture, sell, and deliver methamphetamine, manufacturing a Schedule II controlled substance, maintaining a vehicle for keeping or selling controlled substances, possession of drug paraphernalia, and resisting a public officer.
According to warrants, Pollock was allegedly found in possession of fentanyl and approximately 2.2 grams of suspected methamphetamine. Deputies also say he used a white truck to keep and sell controlled substances, specifically fentanyl and methamphetamine.
The resisting charge stems from what deputies describe as Pollock bracing himself, tensing up, pulling away, and refusing to exit the vehicle during a traffic stop investigation while the officer was attempting to carry out official duties.
Court records also show that Pollock was on pretrial release for a prior offense at the time of this arrest.
He remains at the Onslow County Jail under a $75,000 secured bond.
