Iredell County Authorities Bust Suspected Major Drug Trafficking Operation

Iredell County Sheriff Darren Campbell says his department conducted the successful arrest of a major narcotics distributor following a multi-agency operation conducted in southern Iredell County.

The Iredell County Sheriff’s Office Emergency Response Team (SERT), working in coordination with narcotics detectives from Iredell and surrounding jurisdictions, executed a search warrant after a lengthy investigation identified a significant source of illegal narcotics distribution in the area.

During the execution of the search warrant at a residence located at 405 Teeter Road, Mooresville, investigators recovered more than one kilogram of cocaine, a large quantity of suspected fentanyl, methamphetamine, marijuana, U.S. currency, and a firearm. Investigators also located packaging materials designed to disguise narcotics and entice potential buyers.

Jacques Malic Pharr, age 30, and Brittany Nicole McFarland, age 32, were taken into custody and charged with multiple felonies. Due to the severity of the charges, both individuals were granted no bond. Iredell County DSS responded to the scene and the small children were removed from the residence and placed in safe care. The investigation remains ongoing.

The Iredell County Sheriff’s Office extends its sincere appreciation to the assisting agencies whose cooperation and dedication made this operation possible, including the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation, Cabarrus County Sheriff’s Office, Concord Police Department, Mooresville Police Department, and Kannapolis Police Department.
