ROCKINGHAM — The Richmond County Sheriff’s Office has charged a Rockingham man with drug possession and lying to a law enforcement officer.
Quadon Alajuan Easterling, 25, is charged with one felony county each of possession of methamphetamine and cocaine; and one misdemeanor count each of possession of drug paraphernalia and providing fictitious information to an officer.
The suspect was also served with an outstanding warrant from Guilford County.
On Sunday, March 20, deputies were dispatched to Airport Road in response to a suspicious vehicle, according to the Sheriff’s Office.
The vehicle was stopped on Stillwell Street. When asked, the suspect stated that he did not have any identification, but gave a name.
