SALISBURY — Salisbury authorities say a probation check at a Pine Street home led them to charge three people with a number of drug offenses.

Officials said six different drugs seized were during the search.

Salisbury police assisted the probation office at 7 p.m. Thursday for the search and found drugs in the living room and inside Rankin’s vehicle. Two people inside the home were on probation, said Capt. Shelia Lingle.

When officers found drugs in a room, they backed out and obtained a warrant.

Officers seized 11.6 grams of crack cocaine; 53.6 grams of Ecstasy; 30.9 grams of heroin; 4.9 grams of powder cocaine; 38.2 grams of marijuana; and 10.4 grams of crystal meth.

They also seized a 38 Special revolver and ammunition as well as 10 cellphones and other drug paraphernalia items including scales and plastic bags.

The Salisbury Police Department charged Sebastian Lamon Rankin, 31, of the 800 block of Pine Street, with felony possession of a controlled substance with intent to manufacture a Schedule II substance; felony possession of a controlled substance Schedule II; and felony possession of a controlled substance Schedule VI.
