LENOIR, N.C. – A Lenoir man, Travis Killian, has been arrested following an investigation into the distribution of methamphetamine in Lenoir and Caldwell County.
The investigation began after multiple citizen complaints about illegal drug activity in the area. Authorities identified Killian as a key figure in the illegal methamphetamine distribution network.
On Wednesday, investigators executed a search warrant at Killian’s residence and reportedly seized 349 grams of methamphetamine and $1,000 in U.S. currency. The seized narcotics have an estimated street value of $52,350, according to North Carolina Drug Guidelines.
Killian was arrested at the scene and charged with trafficking methamphetamine and maintaining a dwelling for the sale of a controlled substance. He was denied bond, as he was already out on bond for a prior drug charge.
