One of two people charged in April for allegedly stealing money from drink machines in Roanoke Rapids and Halifax County now faces an additional count.
The Scotland Neck Police Department reported the following:
• Marquesha Lowe, 19, of 604 East Twelfth Street, was charged Tuesday by Officer John Caesar with assault with a deadly weapon.
Chief Joe Williams said Lowe allegedly got into an argument with the manager of Lowe’s Foods and she pulled his box cutter from its holster and held it to his throat. She was allegedly caught shoplifting inside the store on May 23. The manager took out a shoplifting warrant the following day.
She was given a $200 bond and has a June 29 court date.
• Charged Parker Jonathan Watson, 41, of Fayettville, with DWI during a traffic stop. He allegedly blew twice the legal limit of .08, Williams said.
State Highway Patrol Internal Affairs will investigate allegations of domestic violence against a part-time Scotland Neck police officer. The town police department has suspended the man, whose full time job is a civilian employee at the Interstate 95 weigh station in Halifax County.
The man wanted in a Saturday morning shooting has turned himself in.
