A Rockwell woman was charged after authorities found heroin, pills and other items in her van subsequent to a call from Food Lion grocery store.

Police received a call from the store, located at 251 Faith Road, on Sunday morning for a possible shoplifting and police responded stopping a white mini van at Avalon Drive.

Salisbury Police charged Christina Marie Moore, 33, of the 700 block of Roy Cline Road, with felony possession with intent to manufacture a controlled substance schedule I (heroin), felony possession of a controlled substance with intent to manufacture schedule IV (pills) and misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia.

The van, a 2014 Chrysler Town & Country was stopped and the driver, Christina Moore, had three other passengers inside, a report said.

The officer noticed Moore was shuffling her feet so the officer asked to search her purse that was sitting on her lap, and the vehicle, which Moore gave consent for both. Police found needles, a spoon, a pill grinder, a pill container with 10 alprazolam pills, two clonazepam pills, and one partially crushed unidentified pill along with two bags of heroin inside her purse.

Police searched another purse located behind the driver’s seat and inside a makeup bag the officer found a razor, several bags of heroin, a crystal type substance in a clear bag, a spoon, a black cut straw and five brown pieces of a substance believed to be heroin. Moore also had two knives on her.

Moore was convicted in 2012 of assault inflicting serious bodily injury and shoplifting in 2010, both misdemeanors.

She remains in the Rowan County jail under a $100,000 secured bond.
