ROCKINGHAM — A woman is facing multiple felony charges for allegedly selling prescription medications.
According to arrest warrants issued Sept. 25, 23-year-old Tiffany Leigh Childers, of Richmond Road in Rockingham, sold three doses of suboxone from the Budget Inn to a confidential informant on separate occasions: from July 23 to Sept. 25 and from Aug. 25 to Sept. 21.
Charging documents do not state whether the doses of suboxone— a drug used to treat opiate addiction — were pills or strips.
Childers is also accused of having 17 oxycodone pills and selling them to the same informant on July 14, according to another warrant.
She was arrested by Richmond County sheriff’s deputies on Monday and charged with: two counts of possession with intent to manufacture, sell or deliver a Schedule III controlled substance; two counts of selling or delivering a Schedule III controlled substance; a count of maintaining a vehicle, dwelling or place for a controlled substance; possession with intent to manufacture, sell or deliver a Schedule II controlled substance; and selling or delivering a Schedule II controlled substance.
Childers was booked into the Richmond County Jail under a $1,500 secured bond in one of the cases and a $1,000 secured bond for the remaining charges and was released on bail the same day. She is scheduled to appear in district court on Oct. 29.
Online records show Childers has no other pending charges or past criminal convictions in North Carolina.
All defendants facing criminal charges are presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty in court.
