Court records show that on April 6, 2019, a deputy with the Catawba County Sheriff’s Office approached Farley for a traffic violation. Over the course of the encounter, law enforcement seized crack cocaine and $1,052 in drug proceeds from Farley. According to court records, on August 12, 2019, a Catawba County Sheriff’s Office deputy initiated a traffic stop of Farley’s vehicle in Claremont, North Carolina, in connection with an outstanding arrest warrant.
