One of the two deputies arrested last year and charged by federal authorities on narcotics and firearms violations pleaded guilty in US District Court last week.
Evidence technician Malinda York, 46, of Plowman Road, Advance was arrested Sept. 24 by the Davie Sheriff’s Office.
The drugs found in deputy Bobby Lee Mabe’s patrol car on the day of his arrest were traced back to sheriff’s evidence being kept at the department which York was in charge of.
The case was turned over to federal investigators and on Feb. 23. York and Mabe were indicted for conspiring to distribute five grams or more of crack cocaine in the county between June 1 and June 31 of 2009.
York was also charged with possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime.
On the drug conspiracy charge York could face a prison sentence 5-40 years, plus a fine of up to $2,000,000 dollars, or both, and supervised release for a four year ... subscribe to the Davie County Enterprise, P.O. Box 4639, Salisbury, N.C. 28145.
