The Roanoke Rapids Police Department reported the following, according to Chief Chuck Hasty:

On Friday at approximately 11:30 a.m., Investigator G.L. Williams arrested Dorian Rochelle Fleming, 31, of Roanoke Rapids on outstanding warrants.  

She was charged with six counts of identity theft and six counts of obtaining property by false pretense.

She received a $5,000 bond and August 8 court date.

The charges stem from an investigation by Williams into a report filed last month in which the victim stated there were some unauthorized charges on their debit/credit card account.  

Charges were made at various places in the city. A power bill and phone bill were paid with the information from the account.

Hasty said this morning less than $1,000 was charged on the card. He said investigation continues to determine how the card or the numbers on the card were acquired.

More charges are possible.

 

On Friday at  approximately 12:45 p.m., officers responded to the area of Chockoyotte Street and Third Avenue about people fighting and shooting at each other.  

When officers and Halifax County Sheriff’s Office deputies arrived, people were observed fleeing the area.  

Trevon Quantavius Fields, 20, of Roanoke Rapids, was located and charged with going armed to the terror of the people, discharging a firearm in the city limits and carrying a concealed weapon.

He received a $1,000 bond and July 20 court date.

Hasty said investigation continues “to determine what the beef was.”

He said no one has reported they were injured.

Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the police department at 252-533-2810 or Crimestoppers at 252-583-444.
