A PhD candidate at UNC has been arrested by Durham authorities for a series of narcotics charges.

Officials say 26-year-old Gary Lewis Cantor, of Kipling Way in Durham, has been charged with felony crimes including manufacturing controlled substances and possession of controlled substances with the intent to sell or deliver them.

Authorities say a search warrant was obtained based in part on complaints of the odor of marijuana coming from Cantor’s residence.

Once inside, officials say they seized over 2,700 tablets believe to be Xanax, approximately 280 grams of marijuana, over two dozen vials of a substance believe to be anabolic steroids, and a device used to manufacture tablets.

Anyone with additional information about this investigation or other drug-related criminal activity in Durham County is asked to call the Sheriff’s anonymous crime tip line at (919) 560-0940.
