Frisco, NC: Local Arrest Highlights Ongoing Drug Issues
In an event that has spurred conversations throughout the community, deputies from the Dare County Sheriff’s Office responded to a call at the Detention Center around 8:02 p.m. on October 6, 2024. The situation arose when a person was arrested for violating their probation. But what unfolded during a subsequent search would lead to more serious charges and raise eyebrows in the area.
Unexpected Discovery in Detention Center
While deputies conducted a thorough search of the individual—identified as Jack B. Goodwin, 39, from nearby Frisco, NC—they stumbled upon a small stash of methamphetamine. This unexpected discovery didn’t sit well with law enforcement, as it brought new charges into the mix.
Goodwin is now facing charges of Felony Possession of a Schedule II Controlled Substance and Felony Possession of a Controlled Substance on Jail Premises. To ensure clarity, a Schedule II substance is generally deemed to have a high potential for abuse, which can lead to severe psychological or physical dependence. These considerations underscore the seriousness of the situation.
Currently, Goodwin is being held on a 48-hour hold at the Detention Center, where he will await further proceedings regarding his case. The incident has sparked discussions about the ongoing issues surrounding drug possession in the community, as public safety remains a primary concern for local authorities.
