LENOIR, N.C. – A man was arrested after allegedly being found with over 30 grams of methamphetamine in Caldwell County on Thursday night. Around 11:50 p.m., deputies pulled over a Cadillac vehicle for a routine equipment violation near Smoky Creek Road and Union Grove Road in Lenoir. When the Cadillac came to a stop, the driver, 47-year-old William Buff Jr., allegedly fled on foot but was quickly apprehended.

Buff was charged with two counts of trafficking methamphetamine. He was placed into the Caldwell County Detention Center with a $50,000 secured bond. “I am thankful for the watchful eyes of my deputies and their commitment to getting drugs off the streets of Caldwell County,” Sheriff Kevin Bean said.
