A Livingstone College student has been charged with possession and sale of crack cocaine
in Iredell County.Travis Doran Ramseur, a
freshman, was charged with sale and delivery of cocaine and possession with intent to sell
and deliver cocaine.
The Nov. 15 arrest stems from a June 17 incident
in which Ramseur allegedly sold 20 grams of crack cocaine to an undercover police officer,
according to an Iredell County Sheriffs Department report.
He was released on $15,000 bond and faces
imprisonment if convicted.
The report also says that Ramseur is a football
player at Livingstone College and faces the loss of a full scholarship if convicted.
Greg Richardson, Livingstones head football
coach, said Ramseur is not on the schools football team and is not receiving an
athletic scholarship.
We dont know where they got that
information, Richardson said of the report. Maybe Travis told them. I
dont know.
Richardson called Ramseur a fine football
player and said he had planned to invite him to play football next year, after he
gained academic eligibility.
He said hell wait to find out if Ramseur is
convicted and then what sanctions from Livingstone and the NCAA would apply before
deciding Ramseurs future with the team.
