William Monroe Bratcher, Margaret Ann Bratcher and Travis Bratcher are in custody


RAEFORD — A 30-year-old man was arrested Thursday on drug charges after police say he fled from a drug raid that ended in the arrests of his parents and the confiscation of marijuana, cocaine and ecstasy from their home.

Detectives found more than half a pound of marijuana, 33 grams of what appeared to be cocaine and 18 grams of what appeared to be the drug ecstasy, the news release said.

Travis Bratcher of the 600 block of Saunders Street, was charged with trafficking cocaine and an unrelated charge of probation violation, police said. He was taken into custody Thursday after authorities say he ran away from the scene of the Nov. 8 drug raid.

He is being held on a $170,000 secured bond in the Hoke County Detention Center, according to statement Thursday by the Hoke County Sheriff.

His parents, William Monroe Bratcher, 65, and Margaret Ann Bratcher, 69, of the same address, were arrested and charged Nov. 8 with possession with intent to sell or distribute cocaine and marijuana, maintaining a drug dwelling and possession of drug paraphernalia in the case, the news release said.

They were each being held on a $30,000 unsecured bond.
