LAURINBURG – Police have arrested a Lumberton man for drug violations after a single-car accident on Thursday.

Police seized two bags with 400 grams of marijuana and a glass jar with residue on the inside.

Cain was charged with aggravated misdemeanor possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia and exceeding safe speed for conditions and given a $500 bond.
