• Four Virginia residents are facing felony and other drug charges as the result of a narcotics investigation late Monday in the parking lot of McDonald’s on North Renfro Street, according to Mount Airy Police Department reports. Amanda Faye Redding, 26, of Callands, is charged with trafficking of opiates due to being in possession of a “trafficking amount” of Oxycodone (73 dosage units), arrest records state. She also is facing a violation of possessing drug paraphernalia from the incident and was served with an order for arrest for failing to appear in court in Forsyth County. Kevin Thomas Rigney, 23, of Wirtz, is charged with obtaining a controlled substance by fraud (based on a July 13 warrant), possession of a Schedule IV controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Others charged were Glen Wayne Martin, 24, of Boones Mill, with maintaining a drug vehicle, a 2011 Chevrolet Silverado pickup that was impounded after the arrests, and Katherine Nicole Dellis, 21, of Rocky Mount, possessing Schedule III and IV controlled substances and providing fictitious information to an officer.
