COLLINSVILLE, Va. (rbs new now) — Two men were arrested on July 18 following a narcotics investigation and search at an apartment in Henry County.

Deputies responded to an anonymous tip reporting heavy vehicle and pedestrian traffic at an apartment in the 300 block of Maple Drive in Collinsville—activity consistent with suspected drug distribution.

Deputies on scene said they observed multiple vehicles entering the complex and noted suspicious behavior.

A short time later, deputies conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle exiting the apartment complex for a registration violation.

During the stop, inconsistencies in statements from the driver and passengers led to a search of the vehicle, which revealed illegal narcotics and paraphernalia.

Authorities said information obtained during the stop prompted deputies to secure and execute a search warrant at the apartment.

Inside, deputies found Javon Lamar Manns, Robert Carrington Brough, and a third person, who was released after being found with no active warrants.

Suspected meth and cocaine, as well as digital scales, packaging materials, multiple cell phones, and cash were found during the search, according to authorities.

A 2010 Audi sedan was also seized.

Manns was arrested and held without bond on the charges of possession of meth with intent to distribute and possession of cocaine with intent to distribute.

Brough was arrested and held on a $3,500 secured bond for maintaining a common nuisance.

All evidence recovered will be submitted to the Virginia Department of Forensic Science for testing.

Anyone with information about narcotics activity is asked to contact the Henry County Sheriff’s Office at 276-638-8751 or submit anonymous tips through Crime Stoppers at 276-632-7463.

Rewards of up to $2,500 are available for tips leading to arrest and conviction.
