Harrison County drug bust leads to three arrests

CLARKSBURG, W. Va. — Three people were arrested Tuesday evening in Clarksburg after a high risk drug search warrant was executed.

Maurice Lamar Garrison, 32, and Margaret Ellen Proctor, 31, both from Clarksburg, along with Andrew James Carter, 27, from Tampa, Florida, face drug charges after the Harrison County Street Crimes and Drug Unit, the Harrison County Sheriff’s Department SWAT Team and the Salem Police Department’s K-9 Unit raided an apartment on Broaddus Avenue.

Authorities had previously been monitoring the location after receiving numerous complaints about drugs being sold in the building, and after a week, the SCAD Unit had obtained enough information to conduct an undercover controlled purchase operation. This led to the eventual raid.

Among the items seized were 28.3 grams of raw heroin worth $14,000 in Street Value, along with 81 Hydrocodone pain pills, one pound of marijuana, weighing scales, packaging materials and $13,731.22.

Garrison is charged with possession with intent to distribute heroin, conspiracy to distribute heroin, possession with intent to distribute marijuana, conspiracy to distribute marijuana, possession with intent to distribute Hydrocodone and conspiracy to distribute Hydrocodone.

Carter is charged with possession with intent to distribute heroin, conspiracy to distribute heroin, possession with intent to distribute marijuana and conspiracy to distribute marijuana.

Proctor is charged with delivery of Oxycodone, possession with intent to distribute Hydrocodone and conspiracy to distribute Hydrocodone.

All charges are felonies and all three are being held in North Central Regional Jail.
