The Halifax County Sheriff’s Office reports deputies were involved in two separate foot chases last night with both ending in arrests.

Detective Jonathan Merritt said in a press release the first chase landed Jermaine Samuel Bowser, 30, of Roanoke Rapids, in jail after he was apprehended by Deputy C. Scott and Roanoke Rapids Police Department officers in the Daniels Street area of Roanoke Rapids.

While patrolling the South Rosemary area, Deputy Scott observed Bowser walking from Oak Street onto Daniels Street.

Deputy Scott knew of some outstanding warrants on Bowser involving child support orders and domestic violence related charges.

After confirming the warrants were still active, Deputy Scott approached Bowser and that’s when Bowser took flight, running toward Willow Street.

After a brief foot chase Bowser was located hiding behind a shed on Daniels Street where he was taken into custody.

Bowser was charged with the two child support orders as well as the assault on a female charge. Deputy Scott also charged Bowser with resist, delay and obstructing an officer.

Deputy J. Sealey also had charges on Bowser for resist, delay and obstruct for running from him on the initial domestic violence call on Aug. 2.

Bowser was held in the Halifax County Jail under no bond for the domestic violence charge, $500 cash for the child support orders and $1,000 secured bond on the resisting arrest charge.

Bowser is scheduled to appear in District Court on both Sept. 8 and 30 for the pending criminal charges.

Merritt also reported Brad “Teaboy” McDaniel, 32, of Enfield, was arrested and charged after hiding in an apartment following a foot chase in Enfield.

Deputy G. H. Teal was patrolling the U.S. Highway 301 area when he noticed McDaniel traveling on a red scooter going toward the Carriage House Apartments.

McDaniel was traveling well above the legal speed limit for the scooter so Teal initiated a traffic stop. When Teal attempted to stop McDaniel, he fled on the scooter toward the back of the apartment complex, eventually colliding with a sandbox and then running on foot.

After further investigation Teal gained information leading to McDaniel’s capture in one of the apartments close by.

Also charged was Brian Oneal Tillery, 28, of Enfield for resist, delay, and obstruct an officer for attempting to prevent officers from taking McDaniel into custody.

Tillery was held in the Halifax County Jail under a $500 bond with a Sept. 30 court date. McDaniel was held in the Halifax County Jail under a $2,500 bond with an Oct. 28 court date.
