LAUREL HILL — A Laurel Hill man is facing multiple drug and firearm charges following a search of his home, according to the Scotland County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies executed a search warrant Wednesday at the residence of Vernon Scott Norton, 53, on Rockingham Road. Norton was arrested and charged with possession with intent to manufacture, sell and deliver a Schedule II controlled substance; maintaining a vehicle or dwelling for a controlled substance; possession of a firearm by a felon; and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Investigators said illegal narcotics and a firearm were seized during the search. Because Norton is a convicted felon, he is prohibited from possessing a firearm.
He was booked into the Scotland County Detention Center without bond.
