Surry County, NC-- The Surry County Sheriff's Office has charged a man who works as a pilot for Delta Connection Airlines with drug violations. Investigators say they received a tip last week of a shipment of marijuana being delivered to a Low Gap address.
Sheriff Graham Atkinson said his office received information that the delivery was for Christopher David Large, 35, at 161 N. Morgan Road and that it contained marijuana. Officers intercepted the package and investigators then made a controlled delivery to Large.
After Large accepted the package, another group of officers met him near his home and obtained consent to search his residence. Inside the home, officers found evidence of marijuana growing and Zanax that had not been prescribed to Large.
Large is charged with possession with intent to sell and deliver marijuana, possession with intent to sell and deliver a controlled substance, maintaining a drug dwelling and possession of drug paraphernalia.
He was processed at the Surry County Jail.
