SALISBURY — Caleb Hunter Archer of Rockwell was convicted Thursday of felony possession with intent to sell or deliver a Schedule II controlled substance.

Archer admitted his status as a habitual felon. Judge Lori Hamilton sentenced him to a minimum of 58 months to a maximum of 82 months in prison.

On May 12, 2017, during an investigation by the China Grove Police Department, Archer was found in possession of a small bag of methamphetamine.

Archer had previously been convicted of felony solicitation to burn an unoccupied building, felony obtaining property by false pretenses, and felony financial card theft, among other convictions.

Rowan County District Attorney Brandy Cook said she appreciated the joint effort on behalf of Assistant District Attorney Barrett Poppler and the China Grove Police Department in holding Archer accountable for his criminal conduct.
