CRAVEN COUNTY, N.C. – A Morehead City man has been arrested for the second time in two weeks on drug-related charges in Craven County.
Delbert Lavelle Bivings was taken into custody on Monday, Sept. 22, after being pulled over on NC Highway 101 in the Harlowe area. During the stop, K-9 Tia with the Craven County Sheriff’s Office alerted deputies to the presence of illegal narcotics inside the vehicle.
As a result, Bivings was charged with the following offenses:
Felony trafficking methamphetamine by possession
Felony trafficking methamphetamine by transportation
Felony possession with intent to manufacture/sell/deliver Schedule II controlled substance
Felony possession with intent to manufacture/sell/deliver Schedule VI controlled substance
Felony maintaining a vehicle for sale of controlled substance
Possession of drug paraphernalia
Bivings is being held without bond at the Craven County Confinement Facility.
Authorities say this is not Bivings’ first brush with the law this month. On Sept. 10, he was also arrested on similar drug-related charges. Additionally, he was served a warrant for failure to appear in Carteret County in relation to other ongoing drug cases.
The Craven County Sheriff’s Office continues its investigation.
