Another man was arrested today in a Sunday pistol whipping, bringing the total to three, the Halifax County Sheriff’s said.

Detective Rich Somogyi said in a press release Brock Eugene Sampson, 29, of Roanoke Rapids, was arrested for first-degree burglary, assault inflicting serious injury, assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury, felony conspiracy and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. 

The sheriff’s office said yesterday it arrested a second person in the case and served more warrants to the man originally charged, Kendrell Robinson.

The case goes beyond the pistol whipping. It is also linked to an armed robbery of two citizens in the Littleton community and a stolen gun which was used in both crimes.

An officer from the Littleton Police Department was investigating the larceny of the firearm at the time of the investigation of the assault.

Officer Dwayne Daniels from the Roanoke Rapids Police Department located Robinson and turned him over to Cpl. Chris Scott of the sheriff’s office.

Somogyi charged Robinson, 21, of Roanoke Rapids, with assault inflicting serious injury, assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury, first-degree burglary, felon in possession of a firearm and felony conspiracy.

Littleton Police Chief Mike Suggs charged Robinson with felony conspiracy, robbery with a deadly weapon, felon in possession of a firearm, two counts of communicating threats and larceny of a firearm.

Robinson was wanted in an assault on Justice Branch Road in Littleton where he and Sampson allegedly struck the victim several times with a handgun causing severe damage to the victim’s head and face. The beating was allegedly over something the victim did not want his assailants to touch, Somogyi told The Spin today.

Further investigation led Lt. Bobby Martin to serve outstanding warrants on Crashawn Montay Vincent for his involvement in the crime spree. 

Somogyi charged Vincent, 23, of Littleton, with first-degree burglary, felony conspiracy, assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury and assault inflicting serious injury.

Suggs charged Vincent with felony conspiracy and two counts of robbery with a dangerous weapon. Vincent was secured in the Halifax County Detention Center under a $10,000 secured bond.

Sampson was jailed on a $20,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in court on Sept. 9. The investigation is continuing and additional arrests are expected.
