A Laurinburg woman was arrested on Thursday night after an undercover investigation by the sheriff's office for allegedly selling crack cocaine out of her residence on Luther Drive.

Alicia L. Hunt, 34, was arrested after deputies searched the premises of her home and found 29.2 grams of crack cocaine, according to a sheriff's report.

Also in the home was 0.6 grams of marijuana and 0.5 grams of Vicodin.

Hunt is charged with trafficking cocaine, maintaining a drug dwelling, simple possession of a schedule VI controlled substance and trafficking hydrocodone.

"The residence had been under surveillance for a while," Sheriff Shep Jones said.

After months of surveilling Hunt's property and an undercover operation, the department had gathered enough evidence to serve a warrant, according to Jones.

The Sheriff said the quantity of crack cocaine was significant, and that its street value was probably around $3,000.

Jones gave credit to the investigators who worked on the case, and to the six officers that served the warrant.

Hunt is in Scotland County jail under a $250,000 bond.

This is not Hunt's first run-in with the law.

Hunt was previously convicted of resisting arrest, drunk and disorderly conduct, driving while intoxicated, larceny, communicating threats and second degree trespassing, according to the North Carolina Department of Corrections Offender Public Information.

Why in God's name would a woman want to deliberatly and maliciously cause and add more grief and despair on another womans children and family,already there is too much grief and aggrevation on a woman trying to raise a productive family and for someone like this woman to cause more confusion and despair in another mothers home she should be made to go to these meetings where mothers has lost children and husbands to drugs and see the suffering she enflicks.women where put here to love and keep nurished and protected our land that of which we have planted our seeds in, we women carry the seed of our future, of the worlds future and to have another women planting her bad seeds goes entirely against God's intentions for women is.

She's a disgrace to women and mothers and she doesnot represent me in no shape.
