NORTH CAROLINA — Several people were arrested following a drug investigation targeting fentanyl and cocaine sales in convenience store parking lots around Raleigh.
The North Carolina Alcohol Law Enforcement (ALE) conducted the weeks-long investigation, which led to search warrants at two Raleigh homes—one on East Martin Street and another on Raven Ridge Road.
During the searches, agents seized:
- 12.5 ounces of fentanyl
- 2.1 ounces of powder and crack cocaine
- 5.7 ounces of methamphetamine
- 1 pound of marijuana
- $6,640 in cash
- Two firearms
ALE Director Bryan House said the investigation began after concerns arose about street-level drug dealers using convenience store parking lots as hubs for illegal activity.
Eight individuals were charged with more than 100 felony offenses in total, including:
- Prince Anthonee-India Taylor, 37, of Raleigh, charged with 43 felonies and three misdemeanors
- Felicia Lynn Coovert, 23, of Louisburg, charged with 12 felonies
