Troutman Man Busted In Iredell County Drug Investigation

March 3, 2026 By Richard C. Gilbert

On Friday, February 27, Detectives with the Iredell County Sheriff’s Office Narcotics Division, along with road patrol Deputies, executed a search warrant at a home located on Winford Road in Troutman. This followed a lengthy undercover investigation.

Chakiris Legeorge Ramsey

Detectives determined that Chakiris Legeorge Ramsey was selling cocaine from the home. Ramsey has previously served time in federal prison for cocaine-related offenses.
Ramsey was taken into custody during the search. Inside the home, deputies found MDMA (also known as Ecstasy), marijuana, marijuana wax, and several items used to make cocaine. They also found a firearm. Because Ramsey is a convicted felon, he is not legally allowed to own or possess a gun.
