Officer Rich Somoygi fills out an arrest sheet.
The Advanced Criminal Enforcement Unit of the Roanoke Rapids Police Department made the stop shortly after 3 p.m.
Ricky Douglas, 18, was charged and a handgun was recovered, according to Deputy Chief Adam Bondarek.
Bail was set at $2,000 and Douglas has a November 10 court date.
Bondarek encourages members of the community to call the police department at 252-533-2810, 911 or Crimestoppers at 252-583-4444 when they see suspicious activity. “That’s how they get more done. It’s nice to have the community work with us.”
There is to be no profanity and there is to be no character assassination even if the person being written about is a suspect in a crime.
