CLEVELAND, N.C. (WTVD) -- A North Carolina Taco Bell worker is accused of selling drugs at the restaurant.

Christopher Staton Richardson, 35 of Garner, is accused of selling the drugs from the location where he worked on Highway 42 in Cleveland, as well as from his home.

Richardson was arrested on June 7 after a two-month long undercover investigation by the Johnston County Sheriff's Office Narcotics Division.
