FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. — A local man on house arrest for drug violations was arrested Friday morning and charged with dealing cocaine from his home, authorities said.

Henry Lewis Robertson III, 25, of 4715 Pony Run Drive, is charged with possession with intent to sell and deliver cocaine and maintaining a dwelling for the keeping and distribution of controlled substances. More charges are pending, authorities said.

Investigators said they monitored Robertson’s activities before obtaining a search warrant. Deputies raided his home shortly after 6 a.m. Friday and seized about a half-ounce of cocaine, $2,400 in cash and a firearm, authorities said.

Deputies said Robertson was wearing an ankle bracelet monitor as part of an intensive probation sentence when he was arrested this morning.

He is being held in the Cumberland County Detention Center under a $10,000 secured bond.
