According to a Salisbury Police Department press release, the raid capped a month-long narcotics unit investigation. Investigators found nearly .28 ounces of crack cocaine at 923 South Caldwell Street Apt. 4, along with weighing scales, cash and other drug paraphernalia, the report said.
Police arrested Bryan Taylor, 39, Christina Lipke, 25, and 21-year-old Quadriane Horne at the residence.
All three were charged with felony possession with intent to manufacture, sell and deliver cocaine and felony possession of drugs within 1,000 feet of school property. They were each given $10,000 bonds.
