MOCKSVILLE – A Davie County woman was arrested yesterday by agents from the State Bureau of Investigation’s Diversion and Environmental Crimes Unit.

Annie Hunter Benson, 71, of Mocksville was arrested and charged with six counts of Trafficking Opiates and two counts of Maintaining a Dwelling to Keep a Controlled Substance. Each of these charges represents a felony that will be prosecuted by the Davie County District Attorney’s office.
