Justin Ryan Jackson, 16, of 49 Junkyard Lane, Clinton, was taken into custody at 1:45 Tuesday afternoon after concerned citizens tipped off SID officers regarding suspicious activity by Jackson on Junkyard Lane.
The teen was charged with three counts of delivering marijuana, three counts of selling marijuana and three counts of maintaining a dwelling for the storage of a controlled substance.
Jackson was placed in the Sampson County Detention Center under a $25,000 secured bond and was given a trial date of Nov. 13.
According to officials close to the investigation, the teen is alleged to have sold 12.6 grams of marijuana to undercover agents.
Two months ago, the suspect was nabbed by the Clinton Police Neighborhood Improvement Team after they responded to a complaint of underage drinking in a local parking lot, located at 935 Sunset Ave.
Jackson was immediately arrested for consumption of alcohol. During a subsequent search, investigators said they also discovered a .22-caliber pistol concealed on his person.

Candy and Donald, you two need clean up your mess before we see your kids' names on the crime blotter every month.
Stop making a fool of yourself defending this clown.
What is this world coming to when you have parents not giving a crap about their kid who is constantly in trouble with the law?
Sorry, but this loser running around selling drugs is everyone's business.
Shall I go on?
Have you been watching the news lately? Because that is exactly how the world has become. WE are not running his name into the ground, he has already done a good job at doing that. AND had he learned from his mistakes the first time, he wouldn't be getting in trouble again would he? We are not acting like animals, we are stating our OPINIONS. I believe it also says in the Bible that God gave us the right to choose. Well, I choose to say what I think. I'm not judging him, and I don't have too. He will be judged on Nov 13!. So before you go throwing the your scripture at us, take a look at yourself. You are obviously judging us for stating the obvious. I could care less about his business, and don't wish to know anymore about him than I already do. If you want his business to stay private, take it up with the SI staff that writes the articles; or show him you're "right path".
By the way, chrisjackson, how many times have you been to jail? If I did meet you face to face, you will not like what you find.
@G-Girl- he hasn't gone to court yet, EVEN!!! His court date is 10-27.
dunno why my first post of this didn't appear- if it's because I mentioned his court date, well, umm, that's public record anyway- see here:
when did he cause anyone any tears, you asked...
how bout his mama- granted, she contributed to the situation, but maybe his grandma- let me tell you that I've known his family way longer than he or probably you have been alive- I am sure that his grandma doesn't think any of this is o.k.
sickntired- well said, indeed.
I'm sorry that Justin has brought shame to your family. However, his actions reflect your guidance. It has nothing to do with how you support your child, or if you constantly have an "eye" on him. This is a reflection on what you have said, and showed him. You can come up here, and defend your son, and try to make us feel guilty, but it's not going to work. No matter how you look at it, it is your fault he turned out like this. You can give a child all the love they can handle, but if you don't TALK to them, and TEACH them right from wrong, then it is your FAULT. Yes everyone makes mistakes, and yes some don't get caught. Maybe you should have taught him not to get caught.
Oh, one more thing; just because a person is sweet, and nice, doesn't mean that they are not bad. Example: BTK was the president of his church's congregational council, a cub scout leader, even graduated from college, and look how he turned out!
