Detectives seize 'hell razor' heroin

Submitted by WWAY on Tue, 03/25/2008 - 5:44pm.READ MORE:

NEW HANOVER COUNTY -- A significant amount of heroin is off the street. New Hanover County Sheriff's detectives made a pretty big drug bust Tuesday afternoon. Detectives say the street value of the heroin seized is between $40,000 and $50,000. Two women are in custody: 19-year-old Portia Mayor and 24-year-old Chanita Davis. Authorities are still looking for a third suspect, 23-year-old Nathan Davis. The bust comes following a five-month investigation. Detectives had been keeping an eye on Davis and the two women. Tuesday detectives attempted to pull Davis's car over. He tossed some of the drugs out of his car on Oleander Drive, then took off. Cpt. B.D. Blackmon said, "I've got guys that are used to working these types of cases, I have full confidence that we will locate him, that he will be placed into custody." The car was found a short time later with nearly 1,000 bags of heroin inside. The heroin seized is what was known as "hell razor," or "cookout" -- a stronger form of the drug, that is known to have caused more overdoses. Detectives say about five deaths have been linked to "hell razor" in the last five months.

First of all 2 all u bloggers let me first say i was the first 2 say somthing about black and white,i'm not racist but facts r facts!Tell me why when a minority dies his whole crmnal bckgrnd is put in the media let people rest in peace.Thats not the issue at hand though, i'm a friend of Nate and his family and i have no reason to lie or tone down my opinion. Nate's sister does work and is no dealer,the young lady was just an associate of Nate, she had no knowledge of Nates doing.As for momma Davis, she talks to Nate bout his doing, also she lives elsewhere so she can only do so much, more less Nate is a grown man, he has to accept responsibility 4 his own actions.People act like its so easy 2 do the right thing,at times its alot easier to do the wrong thing not saying its right.In the Bible no 1 sin is greater than the next,same scenario here it doesn't matter wrong is wrong.People break the law everyday, u could run a red light and get in an accident and kill someone,either way u're breakn the law and hurting someone else.All i can say is its a rough situation 2 b in.So please dead the issue with race it aint bout nothing,cause everybody makes mistakes.I mean alot of u people say alot of mean and unnecessary stuff how can u talk about someones mother u don't even know! Some of u say u would send yo son to jail, you're the exact the type of parent who would drive they're son to do dope!What parent would want they're child in jail? Have u ever been 2 jail? And don't say,you would'nt do anything to go,cause u can get caught speeding and go to jail it's all up to the officer.You can go to jail for anything in Wilmington.I'm glad I don't have some of you for parents.And for the record those charges ya'll looked up Nate was riding with someone the other time he caught those charges, so stop trying to judge people of a piece of paper!It's not our fault Wilmington has a drug proplem,and really right now it's more users than dealers,all the dealers are locked up! SNAKE COME GET A CUT,HOLLA AT CHA BOY,u already know what it is!

Heroin Bust, conflicting reports

Submitted by Newshounder (not verified) on Thu, 03/27/2008 - 11:02am.

WWAY says 1,000 bags. WECT says 200. No one mentions second male subject except Ms. Davis. Reports say the group was under watch for 5 months, meanwhile during this period 5 people die of overdoses from this gang's product. The odd thing is the Wilmington Star News has no mention of this bust, none at all. The quoted value of the dope is $40,000. Even if there were 1,000 packets that figure is overly inflated by 10 times. Heroin prices have dropped dramatically since we ran off the Taliban and allowed poppy growers to go back to making the world's most deadly drug. The Taliban used to cut the heads off of anyone in the opium business, we send them foreign aid. My guess is that this is a botched drug investigation and that's why no more information has been released. Who knows who that smack belongs to in the long run. But the sneaky thing is the second man not mentioned in the press. Who is he Ms. Davis?

ok ok ok I read all the post and it seems to me that the African American's AWAYS say why don't they put white people in jail well the chick is white. I never seen such childish and a low level mentally. I'm from NJ been here for 20 years I sometimes tell my African American's friends I seldom talk to only when I go visit NJ about this thought and could be a real problem. Their is enof war and I think the race riot is way childish and a low level mentally it just to start a fight. Its very sad and it gives Wilmington a bad name and it all around makes Wilmington look bad. Ok now back on the subject they weir selling drugs that killed people. You sell drugs you get cought you get put away. It's the Law.. I just wish people will stop making everything into a races issue its so stupid childish and a low level mentally. I'm sorry to all if this all you know I'm sorry if you weir raised to hate and to live for the past I'm sorry if your parents dident teach you right. I'm sorry you cant forgive but God forgives us all in the end... it sucks to be you all later CH

Has anyone heard of innocent until proven guilty? I know that these three people are the most sincere and honest people you will ever meet and the two ladies do not even have criminal records. The media is told what to say and what not to say just like the puppets they are. Did they tell you that there is a second suspect who fled the scene? did they tell you that these women work their asses off everyday LEGALLY at their jobs to make ends meet? You peolple are such idiots! I'm sorry for the ones who have lost loved ones to this drug but do you think that it's fair that the blame goes on these three people? Like I would tell my kids I will tell you people to THINK BEFORE YOU OPEN YOUR IGNORANT MOUTH AND GET YOURS FACTS STRAIGHT BECAUSE IN THE END THE ONLY IDIOT WILL BE YOU! SINCERELY, MS. DAVIS

The general consesus if your not guilty you don't run. My brother died two months ago from this "hell Razor" and I can honestly tell you that he suffered the consequences of his choices. You can say what you want but if you are found with that amount of any kind of drug you should pay the consequences. Honest hard working, and sincere people commit crimes everyday. No they should not be blamed for these deaths but if they are invloced in drug trafficing they should pay the consequences. I would say before you speak talk to the many familes that have been ruined by this drug...I hope that you are not one of these familes. I am thrilled the drugs are off the street, if they are innocent I wish them the best.

Submitted by ARMY (not verified) on Wed, 03/26/2008 - 7:51pm.

Guilty or innocent, they have been charged with a serious offense. They should stick with their jobs that you said they had, and quit dealing drugs. They are part of the growing addiction that is killing our children. I am black and white, and I resent what some of you are saying about it being all against a black man, and that a white man would walk free. Are you kidding me? It is unfortunate that most of the heroin addicts are white! Walk in my shoes one day, and you will have a different outlook on racial discrimination. We should not look at anyone as white or black, just as people. Stop the hate, and help those in need of help. Peace

I'm sure they are great people

Submitted by guesty on Wed, 03/26/2008 - 7:17pm.

Yea, we all have heard that phrase about innocent. The problem here is that they had been under surveillance for months. Here is the quote: The bust comes following a five-month investigation. Detectives had been keeping an eye on Davis and the two women. So if they were all hard working upstanding citizens, don't you think the police would have figured that out and stopped watching them? Also, if they are so upstanding why did they run from the police? The only idiot here seems to be you, PISSED OFF FAMILY MEMBER for buying their crap stories. You should be pissed off because you got lied to.

LIKE YOU DID NOT KNOW

Submitted by Guest 555 (not verified) on Wed, 03/26/2008 - 5:19pm.

Ms. Davis Looks like a mother is trying to justify what her son does as okay. If your were any type of parent you would do something about your sons activities and not support them. I checked the doc web site, how many time has your son been arrested for the same thing... A true parent would not allow her son to do these things, and would not stand up for him. I think that the only reason you are standing up and defending him, is because he probably pays your bills too, with drug money, and you don't want to loose your easy lifestyle. Just for the record, I don't know you, don't know your back ground; But what i do know is that if my son was providing this poison, I would hope to see him go away for a long, long, time.

Big heroin dealer already caught in NY

Submitted by Guy with a gold badge (not verified) on Wed, 03/26/2008 - 2:53pm.

I guess you missed it but WPD went up to NYC last week and busted the guy bringing in the "Hell Razor" heroin. The punk with the counterfit (fake) "Hell Razor" is still on the loose. The deputies chased him down Oleander in traffic and lost him. According to the DEA, Afghani heroin is now selling in Los Angeles at $90 for a highly pure gram. That works out to about a dime per pure milligram (compared to $2.50 in 1975, equivalent to about $10 in today's money). Five milligrams is a hefty dose for a naive user. So a first heroin experience is now available for less than the price of a candy bar. At those prices, users can afford to snort or even swallow the stuff rather than injecting it. The amount kept in the bindles allegedly discovered in the car seized by the sheriff have an aproximate weight of 100 grams, that is if there were 1,000 bindles. 100 grams is 1/10 of a kilo. Kilos of heroin have a wholesale value of aprox. $40,000. Most powdered drugs are cut with a non-narcotic to cheat the buyer and to add value to the stash. The heroin seized has roughly a street value of between $2,000 and 4,000. It was the car the sheriff wanted, not the drugs. Law enforcement are using the federal seizure laws to pad their already over-inflated budgets. Adding perks such as leather upholstry to detecive cars, "training" travel trips and helicopters to their coffers. This puts a bounty on drug dealers' property, not the dealer. Did you know that according to the law a sheriff can seize your car and not give it back and you might not ever be arrested? DID YOU HEAR ME? NEVER BE ARRESTED! He has three years to prove you used drug money to buy the car. But alot of times this is used as a barganing tool between the DA and sheriff. You let us have the car and we won't bring charges. Circumventing the poor dumb guy's constutional rights to a fair trial. This is just one reason people are dying. Another is Afganistan. But that is for another day.
