A Baltimore man accused of dealing marijuana from his Hampstead liquor store is being held on $25,000 bail at the Carroll County Detention Center, court records show.
Craig R. Arman, 33, of Bonnie Ridge, was arrested Friday during a raid by state police and town officers at C & E Liquors, which he owns and operates in the 4100 block of Lower Beckleysville Road.
State police said the raid ended a two-month investigation of Arman and an alleged drug distribution operation being conducted from his store.
More than 4 ounces of marijuana, some of which allegedly was packaged for sale, and a handgun were seized during the raid, police said.
Arman was charged with possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia and maintaining a common nuisance.
