SALISBURY — A 911 call about armed men at a local apartment complex led police to charge a Salisbury man with drug possession.
Salisbury Police on Wednesday charged Tadarren Lashand Mosley, 20, of Harrel Street, with misdemeanor simple possession of marijuana and misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia.

On Wednesday around 3:30 p.m., someone called to tell police they saw three men armed with guns and a shotgun at the Zion Hills apartment complex, located at 1614 Standish St., said detective Russ DeSantis.
Police stopped a white Toyota Avalon with three men inside. DeSantis said one of the three men ran off. One of the men kept touching his waistband area. He became agitated when the officer asked him what he was doing, DeSantis said.
The men were removed from the vehicle. They denied permission for the officer to search. When the driver opened the car door to get his license, a container fell out of the car. The container allegedly held a bag of marijuana and a digital scale. The officer allegedly also found 28 grams of marijuana separated into individual bags.
No guns were found, DeSantis said.
The driver told the officer it was not marijuana and that he bought it from a tobacco shop.
He has since been released from the Rowan County Detention Center under a $1,000 secured bond.
