Eight individuals were arrested following a major drug bust in New Hanover County, North Carolina. The investigation, led by the New Hanover County Sheriff’s Office (NHCSO) Vice and Narcotics Division, began after a citizen reported suspected drug activity at a residence on Whispering Woods Court.
Detectives gathered sufficient evidence to obtain a search warrant for the home at 1522 Whispering Woods Court. During the operation, over 11 ounces of methamphetamine, crack cocaine, and a firearm were seized.
“These items were recovered during the execution of multiple search and arrest warrants throughout the operation,” stated the NHCSO in a press release.
Sheriff Ed McMahon praised the team’s effort: “These arrests are a direct result of coordinated intelligence, vigilant investigation, and the ongoing commitment to keeping New Hanover County safe.”

Benjamin Brown, 41
James Lee, 45
Scott Daniels, 49
Noah Carson, 23
David Rasp, 65
