Iredell County man charged with selling pot near elementary school

Iredell County sheriff’s deputies charged a man Monday with selling marijuana near a Mount Mourne elementary school.

Acting on a tip and what investigators said was a purchase of marijuana by an undercover officer, deputies used a warrant to search an apartment at 113 Steam Engine Dr. in Mooresville.

The search uncovered several firearms, drug paraphernalia, and a “substantial” amount of marijuana, the Sheriff’s Office said.

Karl Gerhardt Fleming, 28, was charged with 10 drug-related charges including three felony counts of selling a controlled substance within 1,000 feet of a school. Fleming was being held under $20,000 bond.
