An Odom Correctional Institution case manager has been suspended during an investigation of why a man charged Monday in a Roanoke Rapids rape and Weldon breaking and entering Friday was released to the street instead of the Halifax County Jail.
Instead of being released to the street, Antwaan Deandre Clanton should have been released back to the Halifax County Jail, a state Department of Correction spokesperson in Raleigh said this evening.
The suspect in a Friday night breaking and entering case in Weldon now faces rape charges in Roanoke Rapids.
Halifax County commissioners Tuesday night will weigh whether to join Roanoke Rapids on a solid waste transfer station or direct its public utilities department to proceed with building one solely for the county.
A Weldon man was charged for a breaking and entering Friday night after a canine track.
