Roland Ray Curtis, 50, of 122 Orin Graham Circle and Kathryn Parrish, 45, of the same address were charged Wednesday by the Union County Sheriff’s Office with possession of crack cocaine.
A report said officers set up surveillance in Jonesville and observed Curtis and Ms. Parrish make a narcotics transaction with an unknown man. They drove away in a Ford pickup truck and officers stopped them on S.C. 9. While speaking with the couple, officers noticed the passenger, Curtis, appeared to be hiding something under his left leg. Officers looked and found a quantity of crack.
Officers also confiscated two glass pipes commonly associated with smoking crack.
Curtis recently was released from prison after serving a six-month sentence for failure to pay child support. His photo was among several published in The Union Daily Times after a warrant was signed on him for failing to pay. Officers arrested him in Greenville.
According to records at the Child Support Services, Curtis still owes $14,447 in child support and $24,983 in alimony.
