Davidson County, NC – A Lexington man was arrested last month after sheriff’s deputies allegedly discovered crack cocaine during a traffic stop, according to the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office.
Detectives with the department’s T.R.A.C.E. Team conducted the stop on October 14, 2025, involving a 2001 Ford Expedition traveling on Ridge Road in Lexington. During the stop, deputies said they searched the vehicle and found crack cocaine in the driver’s possession.
According to the sheriff’s office, the driver, identified as 37-year-old Michael Nathan Deal of Lexington, was cited for failure to maintain lane and charged with possession of cocaine. He was taken into custody and later released pending a court appearance scheduled for December 2, 2025, in Davidson County Court.
Authorities noted that bond amounts are determined by judicial officials under North Carolina General Statute 15A-532, not by law enforcement.
All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
