A Conetoe man faces drug charges after Tarboro Police stopped him at a checkpoint at the Albemarle Avenue and Main Street intersection Tuesday.

Terry Antwan Andrews, 21, of 169 Parker St. in Conetoe, was charged with possession of marijuana with the intent to sell and deliver, possession of marijuana, driving while impaired, possession of drug paraphernalia and driving with his license revoked.

Tarboro Cpl. Ricky Dozier said Andrews stopped at the checkpoint around 12:20 a.m. Tuesday. Dozier said he noticed the female passenger moved "as if she was trying to hide something" as police approached the 1998 Mazda Protege, and Andrews advised that he did not have his license.

Dozier said he asked the passenger what she had placed on the floor, and Andrews then asked her to hand him the diaper bag. Dozier said Andrews handed him a small bag of marijuana from the diaper bag, and the corporal advised him to hand over everything he had.

Andrews then pulled out a small digital scale and a small black pouch with marijuana inside from his right pocket, Dozier said. Police reported that Andrews possessed 22 grams of marijuana on Tuesday.

The corporal then asked Andrews to step out of the Mazda, and he detected an alcohol odor on him.

Dozier said he asked Andrews to take a breath test, where he blew a 0.11 percent reading for his blood/alcohol content. At the police station, he later tested for a 0.07 percent reading; the legal limit is 0.08.

Dozier said a search was conducted on the vehicle at the checkpoint, where sandwich bags were found in the vehicle's center console. The Mazda was released to the female passenger, its owner, as Andrews was taken to the Tarboro Police station.
