ROCKINGHAM — A Dobbins Heights man is facing multiple drug charges after the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office reportedly found opioids, cocaine and pot.
Solomon Terel Broady, 30, was allegedly found in possession of: 4-13 grams of an unspecified opioid (identified in another charge as fentanyl); 10.49 grams of crack cocaine; 100.4 grams (3.54 ounces) of marijuana; digital scales; sandwich bags; and a Crown Royal bag with a latex glove.
Investigators allege that Broady was using his home on Goodwin Avenue for keeping and selling the drugs.
Broady, a convicted felon, was also allegedly in possession of a Glock 19X.
He was arrested Oct. 29 and charged with: trafficking in opium or heroin; possession with intent to sell or deliver cocaine; possession with intent to sell or deliver marijuana; maintaining a vehicle, dwelling or place for a controlled substance; possession of a firearm by a felon; and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Broady was booked into the Richmond County Jail, where he is being held on a $200,000 secured bond. He is scheduled to appear in court Nov. 13.
Court records show Broady also has a pending probation violation, which was filed Sept. 18. According to documents, he admitted to being positive for THC in May, has not paid court fees, and was discharged from the Recidivism Reduction Services program due to non-compliance and missing three classes in August and September.
Records with the N.C. Department of Adult Correction show Broady was given a 24-month suspended sentence when he was convicted in May 2024 on a single charge of felony possession of a Schedule VI controlled substance in Anson County.
He also received probation in 2020 when he was convicted of conspiracy to commit robbery with a dangerous weapon in Cumberland County.
Broady was previously convicted in Cumberland County on multiple counts of second-degree burglary, larceny after breaking and entering, breaking and entering vehicles, as well as both misdemeanor and felony larceny.
His probation on the original 2015 conviction was revoked the following year and he was incarcerated for 22 months. However, he was back in prison — exactly a month after his release — for another nine months on a post-release revocation.
All defendants facing criminal charges are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
