SALISBURY — Two women and a man face criminal charges after a suspicious vehicle call Sunday at Love’s Travel Stop on Peeler Road.

McKenzie Faye Carter, 21, of Salisbury was charged with felony possession of heroin, felony possession of a schedule two controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia. Brianna Renae Beaver, 22, of Spencer was charged with felony possession of heroin, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of marijuana paraphernalia. Brandon Lee Lakey, 27, of Salisbury was served with an outstanding warrant for assault on a female.

All three were in a vehicle parked at a gas pump for an extended period of time on Sunday, said Maj. John Sifford of the Rowan Sheriff’s Office. Around 11:05 a.m. Sunday, a caller told authorities people in the vehicle had fallen asleep.

When the vehicle left the parking lot, two Rowan County Sheriff’s Office deputies followed. Shortly after leaving the parking lot on Peeler Road, the vehicle containing the trio pulled to the side of the road with its hazard lights on.

Beaver, the driver, told deputies the vehicle was out of gas. She said the three were waiting for someone who planned to come to Love’s Travel Stop and purchase gas but grew impatient. Sheriff’s deputies requested a K-9 for a search around the exterior of the vehicle and conducted a search of the occupants. While they were outside of the vehicle, Beaver asked Carter for a cigarette. A deputy asked if he could look inside of the container, Carter agreed and the deputy found a plastic bag containing heroin, Sifford said.

After conducting a full search of the car, deputies found an empty hypodermic needles, more heroin, burnt tin foil and methamphetamine.

Beaver and Carter were booked into jail with a $2,000 bond. Lakey didn’t receive a bond.
