Troutman Garden Club held its 75th anniversary luncheon Wednesday afternoon at Lake Norman State Park Community Building — about 50 members and guests attended while club leaders spoke and toured exhibits of local projects and historical memorabilia.

The club, which meets monthly to share gardening ideas and support local charities, celebrated a milestone in its long history.

A home on Buffalo Shoals Road was heavily damaged by an early morning blaze at 5:08 a.m. that injured one person—Troutman Fire and Rescue with crews from Monticello, West Iredell and Catawba controlled the fire in about 30 minutes while Iredell County EMS treated burns and the Red Cross assisted a displaced occupant—and the road was closed for several hours.

On June 6, the Iredell County Sheriff’s Office executed a search warrant at a Fairdale Road home after receiving drug activity complaints—narcotics investigators arrested James William Smith, 48, and Kira Holly James, 43, seizing crystal methamphetamine, clonazepam, and subutex as they face multiple felony drug charges.

On June 5, deputies responded to a break-in in eastern Iredell County after a security system alerted an out-of-town homeowner; 18-year-old Brandon Samir Adams and 25-year-old Daylan Grant Hallman from Statesville were arrested (Adams received a $75,000 secured bond and Hallman was held without bail) while police continue to search for 23-year-old Fred Cox IV.

Constance Marie Mercado, 32, Shawn Burton Ramsey, 31, and Scott Eric Monk, 35, were arrested by Iredell County Sheriff’s Officers after a traffic stop on Island Ford Road last Saturday, June 7—officers found cocaine, alprazolam, and drug paraphernalia and discovered outstanding Catawba County warrants for Mercado and Ramsey—and all face multiple drug charges with court appearances on June 30.
