Richmond County sheriff’s investigators arrested 34-year-old Kendrick Dezron Kysheem Little of Ellerbe on 26 October 2026.[1] He was charged with one felony count each of possession with intent to sell or deliver cocaine and possession with intent to sell or deliver marijuana, plus one misdemeanor count of possession of drug paraphernalia.[1] Little was taken before a Richmond County magistrate and confined in the Richmond County Jail without bond.[1] An unnamed passenger removed from the vehicle during the encounter was not charged.[1]
Around 7:57 p.m. on 26 October, Community Impact Team investigators patrolling the Ellerbe area encountered a gray Mercury Marquis with a strong odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle.[1] When investigators tried to stop it, the vehicle fled, disregarded a stop sign and a red traffic signal, and stopped in the parking lot of Mama Noi’s on Church Street in Ellerbe.[1] As the vehicle stopped, investigators saw a gray-and-black book bag thrown from the passenger-side window.[1] The bag was found open, with two digital scales and assorted plastic baggies lying on the ground nearby.[1] A probable-cause search of the vehicle located approximately 10.51 grams of suspected crack cocaine and 36.08 grams of suspected marijuana.[1] Investigators identified Little as the vehicle’s driver.[1] During the encounter, Little reportedly acknowledged ownership of the recovered items.[1]
Richmond County booking records give Little’s booking date as 26 October 2026.[2] The same booking records list charges of PWIMSD marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.[2] Sheriff Mark Gulledge commended the Community Impact Team for its continued efforts in addressing illegal drug activity throughout Richmond County.[1]
