Highway Patrol Trooper charged last week with drug possession has resigned from the force, an agency spokesman said. Gregory B. Charo, 31, was charged with four drug-related offenses after authorities served a search warrant at his Hawick Commons Drive home. Charo's wife, Kristina Marie Doby, was also arrested, along with her father and brother. More arrests were made at Baby Dolls, a Charlotte strip club where Kristina Doby worked as a dancer and where authorities said she sold drugs. Charo is charged with felony possession of cocaine, felony maintaining a dwelling to keep a controlled substance, misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia and misdemeanor possession of Xanax. His bond was initially set at $100,000, but was reduced to $5,000 Monday after his attorney filed a motion saying the initial amount did not reflect the charges. Charo was released from the Cabarrus County jail the same day. N.C. Highway Patrol First Sgt. Everett Clendenin said Charo resigned Wednesday afternoon. An internal investigation will now be closed, he said. - --- MAP posted-by: Jackl
