Lexington, NC – A 21 year old Lexington man faces additional drug charges after investigators seized approximately 200 THC vape pens containing an estimated 600 grams of THC during a narcotics investigation in Davidson County, authorities reported.
According to the Davidson County Sheriff 's Office, investigators with the Davidson Anti Drug Regional Task Force DART searched a residence at 437 West Sixth Avenue in Lexington on Tuesday, Oct. 27.
Authorities reported recovering approximately 200 THC vape pens and drug paraphernalia during the investigation.
Suspect Faces New Drug Charges Investigators identified the suspect as Javier Heredia Garcia, 21, of Lexington.
He was arrested and charged with trafficking synthetic cannabinoid, possession with intent to sell and deliver a synthetic cannabinoid, and possession of marijuana paraphernalia.
Heredia Garcia was placed in the Davidson County Detention Center and held without bond because he was already on pretrial release when arrested.
His next court appearance is scheduled for Friday, Nov. 13, in Davidson County District Court.
Previous Investigation Led to Arrest The latest charges follow an earlier DART investigation conducted Sept. 25 at 506 Cotton Grove Road in Lexington.
During that investigation, authorities reported seizing approximately 6.781 grams of marijuana, two firearms, drug paraphernalia and U.S. currency.
Heredia Garcia previously faced charges involving marijuana distribution, maintaining a dwelling for controlled substances, possession of marijuana paraphernalia and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Authorities Warn About THC Vape Products The sheriff's office also raised concerns about the distribution of high potency THC vape products, particularly among young people.
Officials warned that products with unknown contents, strength or purity may present additional health risks.
DART includes personnel from the Davidson County Sheriff's Office, Lexington Police Department , Thomasville Police Department and North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation.
All charges remain allegations, and Heredia Garcia is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
