On March 14, 2025, officers from the Henderson Police Department were dispatched to the area of South Elizabeth Street in response to reports of suspicious activity. While investigating the situation, officers made contact with an individual, later identified as Qwmaine Knott, who attempted to flee from a vehicle.
During his attempt to escape, Knott was seen discarding a package in his possession. Officers quickly apprehended Knott and recovered the package, which was later determined to contain approximately 6,950 dosage units of suspected heroin.
Following a thorough investigation, Knott was charged with three counts of Trafficking in Opium/Heroin and one count of Felony Maintaining a Vehicle for the Sale of a Controlled Substance.
Due to pretrial release conditions, Knott was denied bond and transferred to the custody of the Vance County Detention Center.
