ANTOINE K. RAPHAEL

 

Investigators with the Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office Drug Unit, along with the Department of Community Corrections agents, arrested Antoine Kirby Raphael, 23, of 121 Paul St., Washington, last Friday.

A press release from the drug unit said that its investigators made purchases of marijuana and crack-cocaine from Raphael while he was on probation from another drug-related conviction. At the time, he had only been on probation for a few months, said a spokesman from the sheriff’s office drug unit.

Raphael was charged with possession with two counts intent to sell marijuana, two counts possession with intent to sell crack-cocaine and four counts of possession of drug paraphernalia.

The amounts of marijuana and crack were not substantial, said the spokesman.
