According to reports, investigators located Justin Ryan Jackson, 16, of 49 Junkyard Lane Clinton, in a vehicle parked near the establishment. Jackson was immediately arrested for consumption of alcohol. During a subsequent search, investigators said they also discovered a .22-caliber pistol concealed on his person.
The owner of the vehicle, Kenneth Wayne Bryant, 29, of 424 Tar Heel Drive, Clinton, was also arrested at the scene for disorderly conduct and purchasing alcohol for a minor. Investigators searched Bryant’s vehicle and discovered approximately 30 grams of methamphetamine.
Bryant was additionally charged with trafficking in methamphetamine; felony possession of methamphetamine with the intent to sell and deliver; and misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia.
Jackson was placed in the Sampson County Detention Center under a $5,000 secured bond; Bryant under a $75,000 secured. Court dates were not set at press time.
According to the N.C. Department of Correction’s website, Bryant has had previous convictions in Sampson County for second degree arson, damage to property, violation of a protective order and communicating threats (all in 2007); communicating threats and a violation of a protective order (both in 2005); and damage to property, injury to real property and assault on a female (all in 1999).
Bryant has also been convicted of crimes in Cumberland County, including in 1997, for possession of a schedule VI controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia.
More recently, on July 24, Bryant was arrested and charged with making harassing phone calls, communicating threats and possession of a schedule II controlled substance and placed under a $10,000 bond. He has not been tried on those charges.

By the way, since I'm thinking about this. You were 18 and Justin was 15 when you got knocked up, correct? I'm not sure about the law because I never had the desire to have sex with children, but wouldn't you be considered a child rapist?
You seem as though you were shaking and sweating in your chair fighting demons while you type this nonsense.
It's called "Ask the Lafus"
you can find it on facebook under lafe crick.
I dare you to debate me.
A statistic is a numerical value, such as standard deviation or mean, that characterizes the sample or population from which it was derived. That doesn't make it a fact.
My mother was twenty six when I born. So your statistics are wrong. I may be a teenager but at nineteen I think that I am a great parent, absolutely not a child. Im working my way to a degree which is more than you can say for alot of people.
Here are a few factual statistics.
"Nine out of ten dentists recommend Trident for their patients who chew gum." The tenth dentist was insistent that his patients never chew gum at all, but surprisingly, Trident didn't want you to know about that.
Fletcher Knebel was apparently responsible for "Smoking is the leading cause of statistics", the most famous of which is "100% of non-smokers die".
Played for laughs in one Dilbert strip: The Pointy Haired Boss is upset because 40% of all sick days are taken on Mondays and Fridays. With a little bit of thought, he would have realized that that's exactly what it should be, since 20% is one out of five, and 40% is two out of five
Consider the following. "Most car accidents occur close to home." The implication from that sentence alone is that somehow being close to home "causes" accidents; perhaps people are less careful. However, add this fact; Most driving occurs close to home.
Let's say you want to "prove" that video games cause violence. First, you need to get a group of scientists that are already savvy to this and don't mind the lack of ethics. Then, you have them draw from a very small pool of test subjects that are known to display violent behavior. Mental hospitals, prisons, schools for children with behavior disorders, what have you. Do some generic tests that are guaranteed to show up positive, come up with numbers, and presto, instant headline. "Recent test shows 77% of subjects become more violent after playing Mortal Kombat". This works because the plebs you're trying to convince will not read the article the whole way through. Most will just look at the headline and that's all you really need to quote at speeches and debates. This also works with Comic Books, and with Rock, Hip hop, porn, watching Brokeback Mountain, voting Democratic, voting Republican... actually, every known behavior can be presented to encourage violence and other unpleasant things. Must be a strange subversion of Rule Thirty Four.
These are true...
42,740,719 people are enrolled in Medicaid in the US, 2003 (Medicaid Managed Care Enrollment Report Glossary, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services).
North Carolina's unemployment rate is already one of the highest in the country at 11.1%.
Think about that!!! Not only were you talking about me, you were talking about more than half of North Carolina.
With my major in psychology and minor criminology, I have discovered some very disturbing patterns in your boy Justin. Statistically speaking, he has a history of criminaly activity coupled with the time he started which means he will continue down this path unless someone intervenes. The rate of recidivism for a teenage boy with prior criminal history could be as high as 80 to 90%. When I say he needs an intervention, I don't mean his teenage baby mama who has no idea what she's talking about. He needs a dominate male figure in his life because it's apparent his father is useless or non-existant.
As for the teenage baby mama, her future isn't much better. She will more than likely have another baby with this boy or with another male figure in her life. If the children of said baby mama are girls, odds are they will continue this pattern themselves with unwanted pregnancies in their teens.
Now with that said, here's some advice to you. You are a child with no concept of being an adult. So you can come on here and flap your gums all you want, but in the end the decision you make is the one you have to live with. I'm sorry your generation has been led to believe that you are smarter than everyone else, but life experiences go a long a way. Unfortunately, you haven't lived long enough to get on your soap box and spout how much you know. You're still a snout nose kid with a child you may or may not have to raise on your own.
The state might be funding tax dollars to help my daughter with medical expenses and to put me thru college, but anyone that has enough time on there hands to read and comment articles about people they don't know must not have a money worth occupation with a degree anyway. Looks like you might be using the states tax dollars as well; while you continue your infantile addiction of commenting the paper.
I wonder if they have a twelve step program for that????? The world may never know.
Its obvious opinions are what keeps this little gossip group going. I honestly feel sorry for you. Evidently your life is so pathetic you have nothing left to do. Sorry my lifes not a blackhole. I have a daughter to take care of.
HCM you are right! I couldn't agree more about that apology to Wired and Steve.
ACTUALLY, Mr. Clark....maybe Papa John's is closer to where the car was.....soooooo are you telling me that it's possible that they got the alcohol from there OR maybe someone mailed it to him over at the post office.....Lets not forget Happy Hour at Star?? Really, come on now....just because an establishment serves alcohol doesn't mean that you should associate it with a story.....
1. The owner of Wired deserves an appology from SI. The alcohol was NOT provided to ANYONE from Wired's Staff. Alcohol can NOT be taken from the building/gate and the door is monitored at all times to ensure this. SI, as usual, trying to make a good story, which is next to impossible for them to accomplish anyway, has defamed and or slandered Wired. But, other than minor spellng errors, you will NEVER see this writer, Sherry and ESPECIALLY Chris Berendt, whose claim to fame is destroying people's name before the ink dries on reports and then blowing them off when they try to call to correct him, come out and appologize to Steve, the owner of Wired or anyone else.....
2. If the D.A.'s office could stop worrying about making the likes of Dewey Hudson look like a rose when he in actuality makes himself look like the southbound end of a northbound mule, and start doing the job that the DA was ELECTED to do....these two goobers would have been dealt with a long time ago and perhaps the younger could have been turned around....but as usual...Mr. D.A. has to "look good" for his constituents....
