Arthur Lecose Burton, 63, of Burlington, was arrested Wednesday, January 7, 2026, and transported to the Alamance County Detention Center where he was booked on an outstanding warrant and additional charges stemming from a search-warrant investigation that located a trafficking amount of fentanyl and drug paraphernalia. The detention entry lists multiple felony counts tied to the investigation.

Burton’s recorded charges on the public roster include: 1 ct: Felony Trafficking in Fentanyl; 1 ct: Felony Sell/Deliver Fentanyl; 1 ct: Felony Possession With Intent to Sell/Manufacture/Distribute Schedule II Controlled Substance; 1 ct: Felony Manufacture/Sell/Distribute/Possess a Controlled Substance within 1000 feet of a School/Daycare; 1 ct: Felony Maintain a Vehicle/Dwelling/Place for Controlled Substance; and 1 ct: Misdemeanor Possess Drug Paraphernalia. The inmate entry provided no bond amount in the booking excerpt available with these details.

A separate Criminal Investigations Division operation on December 19, 2025, produced two arrests tied to the same executed search warrant. Alex Russell Anthony, 28, male of Burlington, was arrested and charged with Attempted Murder and three counts of Discharging a Firearm into Occupied Property; his detention entry states he was transported to the Alamance County Jail and received no bond. Alneshia Monique Torain, 33, female of Burlington, was arrested during the same operation and charged with Felony Obstruction; her entry lists a $25,000 secure bond. Arrest narratives include the sentence "The victim is expected to recover."

The county’s public custody and inmate inquiry page - the P2C roster provided by OSSI - lists recent bookings with arrest dates and primary charges and allows users to view mugshot, full name, address, age, sex and booking date for each record. Search guidance on the roster indicates users can click "Filter Inmate List", enter an inmate’s last name and submit, then select a record to obtain arrest date, charge, status and bond amount. If a selected record does not display details, the roster guidance instructs users to "click here to try again."
