BURLINGTON, N.C. — Burlington police said a community complaint and months of investigation led to drug arrests on New Year's Eve. 

In November, police say someone complained about a home in the 200 block of Rolling Road. 

The complaint said a "high number of pedestrians and vehicle passengers who visit the dwelling" and "the individuals arrive, go inside a side door, and stay for a few minutes."  

Burlington police said the complaint led them to believe illegal drug use and possible the sale of drugs were happening at the home. 

Officers began investigating and identified 70-year-old James Rudolph Haith as the target of the investigation.
