North Carolina woman arrested after hiding fentanyl in her… private area
MURPHY, N.C. – A North Carolina woman apparently found an interesting place to stash fentanyl during a traffic stop last week. And she might have gotten away with it if not for some deputies, and their dog, too.
According to the Clay County Sheriff’s Office, Sgt. Tyler Faggard spotted a yellow 2002 Ford Ranger which he recognized as belonging to a man wanted for an active warrant in Union County, Georgia, on May 25. The sergeant turned on his blue lights along U.S. 64 near Settawig Road, just a few miles east of Murphy, North Carolina. The car did not immediately stop, deputies say.
Instead, the driver kept going another 2 miles before stopping near Fires Creek Road. Believing the occupants were trying to buy some time to hide something illegal, Sgt. Faggard called in the K-9 unit and a few more deputies to the scene.
Investigators say the K-9 indicated it detected drugs in the pickup truck. Once that happened, deputies say the woman in the passenger seat offered up “a quantity of fentanyl which had been hidden within her genitalia.”
Angelica Jordan Anderson, 27, of Hayesville, North Carolina, was charged with felony possession of fentanyl and possession with intent to manufacture, sell or deliver fentanyl. She was booked into the Clay County Jail and was released on a $30,000 secured bond.
The driver was identified as Duane Alan Stamps, 27, of Hiawassee, Georgia. He was arrested and extradited to Georgia. He was booked into the Union County Jail last Saturday and remains there without bond. Stamps is charged with probation violation stemming from an arrest in neighboring Towns County in April for possession of a schedule II controlled substance, possession of drug related object, and possession of methamphetamine. Records indicate Stamps was originally faced sale of heroin charges in Union County in 2017.
Murphy, North Carolina is located about 80 miles north of Atlanta.

Steve Belichick heads to North Carolina as defensive coordinator
In the 11 days since Bill Belichick officially became the head coach at North Carolina, not much information has surfaced about his coaching staff.
One big — and expected — piece fell into place today.
Via Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports, Steve Belichick will become the defensive coordinator at UNC. He has spent 2024 as the defensive coordinator at the University of Washington.
During Bill’s courtship by the Tar Heels, reports and speculation emerged regarding an effort to create a succession plan that would make Steve the next head coach after Bill leaves. The contract negotiated and published by North Carolina makes no mention of that.
Still, if things go well and if Belichick remains until he’s ready to retire, he’ll be in position to make a strong case for family continuity. Especially if Bill is poised to become, essentially, coach emeritus of the program with Steve in charge.

Huskies DC Steve Belichick set to join father at North Carolina, per report
In unsurprising news, CBS Sports reported that Washington defensive coordinator Steve Belichick is set to follow his father, Bill, to North Carolina. It is the second lost to UNC for the Huskies after linebacker Khmori House pledged to the Tar Heels earlier this week.
Belichick’s defense was often the highlight for the Huskies throughout the regular season. Washington had the fifth-best pass defense in the nation, allowing just 166.8 yards per outing and 13 touchdowns on the year. It was an obvious strength for the Dawgs leading into the season and was pivotal in all six wins.
Belichick spent just one season on Montlake. He joined Jedd Fisch’s highly touted NFL experience-rich staff. He’ll continue that trend, once again joining forces with a man many consider the greatest NFL head coach of all time. Bill will lead a college program for the first time in his career.
Suddenly, North Carolina is an intriguing destination that the Huskies must be wary of after already losing House. USA Today college football reporter Matt Hayes said on X that UNC would increase its NIL package for football “from 4 million to $20 million in effort to land Belichick.”
On the surface, there isn’t much to fear about UNC on the gridiron. However, the sweet selection of uniforms, a sudden surplus of NIL funds, Power 4 residency and the opportunity to play under the Belichick duo could be very attractive to NFL hopefuls.
Fisch addressed the potential of having to replace Belichick earlier this month.
“If (Steve) joins (Bill) then we’ll have to hire a new defensive coordinator,” Fisch said. “If he stays here then we won’t have to hire a new defensive coordinator. I think they’re separate. Bill Belichick is not on our staff. Steve Belichick is on our staff. So, Bill will determine whether or not he wants to continue. He’s the greatest coach of all time. So, if he goes and coaches somewhere, then he’ll make a decision, and then Steve will make a decision and we’ll figure it out from there.”
As for what’s next on Montlake, our Luke Kemper has you covered.
