On July 1, investigators with the Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office Drug Unit arrested Chad Douglas Woolard, 42, of 3723 Harvey Road in Washington and Donald Clayton Madry, 53, of 3723 Harvey Road in Washington. They were charged with possession with intent to sell and deliver marijuana, felony possession of marijuana and conspiracy to sell and deliver marijuana.
