Arrested Dejuan Davis, 21, of Woodland.

His charges stem from a matter on Halloween night where he was involved in a fight in Arrowhead Mobile Home Park.

Davis allegedly was fighting and was told several times to stop by Deputies C. Exum and D. Porter. When Davis did not comply, he was arrested for simple affray and resisting arrest.

While in custody Davis kicked out the back window of a patrol car, an act for which he was charged with injury to county property.

He was assigned a November 17 court date.

“Any time a suspect damages county property they will be charged,” Sheriff Jack Smith said in the statement. “I encourage citizens to submit to arrest and if they disagree the case should be settled in court.”

November 4, 2015

Arrested Jeremiah Mangum Jr., 26, of Rich Square.

Mangum's charges stem from a matter when deputies on routine patrol spotted a vehicle on Hillside Drive just outside Rich Square and stopped to check on it.

Deputies encountered a man inside asleep and during the investigation learned Mangum was wanted out of several counties.

Deputies also observed a handgun on the front passenger seat vehicle.

Mangum was taken into custody without trouble and charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and possession of a stolen firearm.

Warrants were also served on him out of Pitt County for removing an electronic monitor, two counts of communicating threats out of Halifax County and one count of assault by pointing a gun out of Northampton County.

He was placed in the Northampton County Detention Center with a $31,000 secured bond and made his first appearance on Thursday, but has not yet been assigned an additional court date.

“I would like to commend Deputies J. Britt, M.Walton, and D. Sheppard in the manner they handled this potentially dangerous situation,” Smith said. “I would like to commend them for taking a stolen handgun out of the possession of a convicted felon as well as incarcerating him so that he may be held accountable for his charges in the other counties.”
