A Salisbury woman is facing multiple charges after law enforcement officials discovered heroin in a vehicle she was driving during a routine traffic stop. The situation escalated when authorities allegedly found methamphetamine concealed on her person during the booking process at the jail.
The sequence of events unfolded when a deputy pulled over a car on Mooresville Road around 1:50 a.m. due to an expired registration, as per a spokesperson for the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office. The driver, a woman, admitted not having the registration card, prompting a passenger in the back seat, a man, to offer assistance in locating it from the glove compartment.
Upon opening the glove compartment, the deputy reportedly noticed Narcan and crumpled aluminum foil, prompting a call for a K9 unit. The dog alerted to the presence of narcotics before the citation was completed, leading to a search of the vehicle. Among the items found were heroin, a rock-like substance, a syringe, and a blue pill, along with drug paraphernalia in the woman’s possession.
Both individuals were taken to the magistrate’s office, where the woman, identified as 29-year-old Miranda Leigh Reed, was charged with possession of controlled substances and drug paraphernalia. The man, identified as 35-year-old Edgar Maddison Welch, faced similar charges and was detained at the Rowan County Detention Center on a $2,500 bond.
Welch, previously involved in the infamous “Pizzagate” incident in Washington, D.C., where he discharged a firearm in a restaurant, pleaded guilty to related charges and served time in federal prison before his release in 2020.
During the booking process, a body scan revealed an anomaly in Reed’s vaginal cavity, prompting further investigation. A search warrant was obtained, and she was taken to a hospital, where a bag containing methamphetamine was retrieved.
Authorities cautioned both Reed and Welch about concealing illegal substances during their intake at the detention center, with Reed subsequently facing additional charges, including resisting an officer. She was granted a $12,500 bond and detained at the Rowan County Detention Center.
