IREDELL COUNTY, N.C. -- Iredell County detectives have arrested two men with ties to a Mexican drug cartel in the Charlotte area. Sheriff Phil Redmond stated that after investigation into a large scale heroin trafficking organization, detective arrested Jeremy Scott Becker, 23, of Lake Pine Road in Mooresville, NC, and Rico Davarsha Flemming, 30, of Holly Knoll Drive in Charlotte, NC.

The investigation is ongoing and many people who have been purchasing heroin from the suspects have been identified. Further arrests are anticipated. Detectives from the Narcotics Division are continuing to follow up on information they have received thus far, and expect additional heroin seizures from the Mexican drug cartel organization. Flemming and Becker were found by an undercover officer, who met with each suspect individually. After the undercover officer purchased quantities of heroin from the suspects, they were immediately taken into custody by detectives from the narcotics division with assistance from the Aggressive Criminal Enforcement Team. Rico Davarsha Flemming was charged with Sell/Deliver Heroin, Possession with Intent to Sell Heroin, and Maintaining a Vehicle/Dwelling for Controlled Substances.
