Our Vice & Narcotics Unit continues to make a powerful difference in our community—shutting down major drug trafficking operations and taking harmful substances, illegal weapons and dangerous individuals off the streets. Following a community complaint of suspected narcotic activity, an investigation was launched, with assistance from our Northeast Service Area and Northwest Service Area Crime Reduction Units (CRUs), which culminated in the successful arrest of Wang Meng Moua, 43, and the seizure of: · More than 540 grams of suspected methamphetamine · Approximately 1,168.7 grams of suspected cocaine · Over 710 grams of a suspicious brown powder (pending laboratory analysis) · 5 firearms, including one confirmed stolen · $1,489 in US currency Moua, a convicted felon for prior narcotics and firearm-related offenses, was arrested and charged with: · Trafficking Methamphetamine · Trafficking Cocaine · Possession of a Stolen Firearm · Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon · Maintaining a Dwelling for Controlled Substances · Numerous additional trafficking and conspiracy charges from prior investigations Convicted felons Jose Antonio Muniz Santiago, 54, and Kevin Vang, 36, were also arrested for trafficking methamphetamine and conspiracy charges in connection with this investigation. This investigation remains ongoing, and additional charges may be forthcoming. This case highlights the exceptional work and dedication of the Vice & Narcotics Unit, whose proactive investigative efforts and coordination with partner units directly disrupted a significant drug distribution network. It also underscores how vital community involvement is, with this beginning because one person chose to speak up. Public safety is a collective effort, and every voice makes a difference.

Today marks two years since the tragic events of April 29, 2024—a day that forever changed our department and the Charlotte community. As we pause to reflect, we remember the unwavering bravery of every officer who responded that day, our public safety partners who stood by us and the community that came together to support CMPD and our law enforcement partners like never before. But most importantly, today and every day, we honor the fallen heroes: CMPD Officer Joshua Eyer, Deputy U.S. Marshal Thomas Weeks and N.C. Department of Adult Correction Investigators William Elliott and Samuel Poloche. Their bravery and sacrifice will never be forgotten.
