Drug charges for two Pinebluff, North Carolina residents

Two young people from the Pinebluff, North Carolina area are facing felony drug charges after a police raid of a private residence.

The two people living in the home were arrested and face felony drug charges.

Drunk driving charge filed against North Carolina woman

Law enforcement has arrested a Dunn, North Carolina woman and she now faces a drunk driving charge. She was originally pulled over for suspected driving while impaired and in the process of the traffic stop, she backed into a patrol car. She was arrested on a drunk driving charge and is under a $1500 bond.

The driver was tailed by police after a concerned North Carolina citizen reported an erratic driver. The woman was swerving from lane to lane before she was pulled over by police. While it was not indicated what the results of the Breathalyzer test were, the driver was immediately arrested when she hit the police car on suspected DUI. At that point, there was sufficient evidence to bring a drunk driving charge.

As of now, the man has not been charged with anything directly related to the deaths of his daughter and nephew.

Father faces felony charges in North Carolina shooting

Families are complicated. People with vastly different personalities frequently spend time together based on their blood ties. These different personalities can sometimes lead to conflict, ranging anywhere from verbal confrontation to encounters that lead to felony charges. Recently, an altercation between a father and son in North Carolina has led to the father's arrest.

In early April, police officers received a call from concerned neighbors about an incident that begin in the house of a 59-year-old man. Between the time the call was received and the arrival of police, neighbors reported hearing a gun shot inside the house. As police arrived, they say they noted a 29-year-old, the man's son, escaping the house through an open window.

Charlotte teenager faces drunk driving charge in fatal accident

Everyone can agree that it is sometimes difficult to be a teenager. Teenagers tend to be more prone to rash decisions and irrational behavior. Fortunately for some, these decisions lead to fairly insignificant consequences. For others, however, their decisions have consequences that will alter lives forever. A Charlotte teenager, already a mother to an 11-month old, is facing these consequences after an accident that led to a drunk driving charge.

In early April, an 18-year-old student was driving a sedan at night. In the car with her were three passengers: an 18-year-old, a 15-year old, and her young son. Just before midnight, the car crashed into a tree after the driver lost control of her vehicle.

North Carolina college students face drug charges

Many people have stories of things they did as a college student that they wish, in hindsight, they had not. However, only a small percentage of these actions end up with anything more than a bad case of regret. Occasionally, the impulsive and risk-taking actions of college students result in criminal charges. Unfortunately, pair of roommates - a male and female - at a North Carolina college fall in the group of college students who end up with criminal charges. Specifically, two Appalachia State University students returned from Spring Break only to realize they were just starting a fight against criminal drug charges.

For two days, residents in the area of their rental house noticed that the door was open. Concerned about the well-being of the occupants, they contacted the police. The police then entered the house to ensure the safety of any inhabitants. Once they entered, they discovered marijuana plants in the basement and one of the bedrooms. Caldwell County deputies returned with a warrant.

Charlotte woman faces fraud, other charges in conspiracy

Programs such as Medicaid have been put in place to help those who are less fortunate than others due to economic status or health. The program has been massively beneficial for people who are provided necessary medical care under the system. However, as administrators in Charlotte have learned, the program is vulnerable to fraud and the potential wasting of millions of taxpayer dollars.

In early March, a North Carolina woman from Charlotte pleaded guilty to charges that she defrauded the Medicare program of almost $5 million over the course of two years. To do so, she stole the identity of a therapist. She then billed Medicaid for procedures and care that was never given.

Man awaiting drug charges after hospital visit for burns

One of the hazards of a person going to a hospital with suspicious injuries and sparse information is that it may bring the authorities into an investigation. Hospital authorities may possibly have a legal duty to report certain suspicious circumstances to the police. Recently, a man went to a North Carolina hospital for burn injuries and got more treatment than he wanted. He's now waiting for drug charges because hospital authorities called the police under circumstances that may or may not have been justified.

When the man refused to give his address to emergency personnel at the hospital, officials of the hospital contacted deputies at the Currituck County Sheriff's Office. They told the authorities that a man with burns refused to give his address. A spokesperson for the sheriff's office said that deputies later located and visited the man's home in Currituck, presumably for suspicion of drug offenses.

North Carolina bust leads to drug charges for man

A drug bust in North Carolina has led to the arrest of one man. Authorities were involved in a three-month investigation concerning a mobile home in the local area. They had received tips and also conducted surveillance on the home.
