Big-time Tabor City slithering snake, Carl David Wright arrest has no connection with Senator RC Soles, or so they say. We just thought you'd want to know that. We wanted you to know that David Wright's cocaine dealing days are not to be confused with the good Senator federal investigation. Nope, nothing the feds will admit to. The feds never comment on an investigation, never.
Carl David Wright, 53, home is located at 665 Vinegar Loop Road in the Vinegar Hill community northeast of Tabor City. Authorities discovered $256,000 and the 32 ounces of powder cocaine at the home. They made numerous undercover buys from Wright.
Wright, who was a police officer in Tabor City from 1978 to 1983, is not employed, and told officers at the time of his arrest he worked sometimes as an “assistant insurance adjuster.”
Wright is being held in the county jail under a $1 million secured bond, and the FBI has filed a detainer on him in case he posts the bond.
On August 19, 2002 Wright was convicted for possessing drugs. The defense attorney, RC Soles, was able to beat down the original charges of felony possession with intent to distribute to possession, and to dismiss a charge for maintaining a house for the purposes of dealing drugs.
In 1987 Wright was arrested by the same Columbus County detective that arrested him on all the other charges. In 1987 Wright was arrested for being a moonshiner.
Now don't get all excited trying to link a connection between Wright and Soles. I know there are tons of rumors running around about how Wright and Soles go way back. Senator Soles is a very public person and has many "connections" with people from all walks of life. Just because someone says Sen. Soles uses Wright from time to time to effect various situations in Soles' favor does not mean it is true. And just because the FBI has an interest in this case does not mean it has any connection with the supposed Grand Jury investigation taking place in Raleigh... at least that's what they say.
