Bradley Bradley Roanoke Rapids Police Department

The man charged in a Monday road rage incident reportedly threatened to kill his targeted victim and then kill himself, the arrest warrant in the case shows.

The arrest warrant also clarifies that Lawrence Rogers Bradley Jr., 28, of Zoo Road, was charged with three counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, three counts of assault by pointing a gun and two counts of communicating threats. He was also charged with one count of harassing phone call, one count of injury to personal property and one count of aggressive driving.

When charges of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill and assault by pointing a gun are put into the police department's computer system, they are aggregated into the broad category of aggravated assault, which reflects more serious assault crimes.

According to the arrest warrants for Bradley, on October 24 he allegedly called the victim's mother and told her, “To make your son's funeral arrangements because I'm going to kill him and then myself because I'm not going to be like my dad and go to jail when he shot Mitchell Spence.”

According to state Department of Correction records, Bradley's father was released from prison in November of 1991 after being convicted of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury in February of 1989.

The warrant in Bradley's case notes the magistrate believed there to be probable cause for charging him with three counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill because the defendant allegedly assaulted the victim with a 2003 Pontiac Grand Am. Two other people were in the vehicle.

All charges stem from Bradley allegedly following the victim down Tenth Street, twice bumping the victim's car and pointing a shotgun at him. The victim was apparently trying to get to the police station but the chase ended in the parking lot of Big Al's where the victim then fled to the police station. The vehicle had noticeable damage on it.

This all stemmed, investigators said Tuesday, from Bradley being jealous that the victim was dating his former girlfriend.

Quoting Concern 1:
Here's your drug remark! The truth of the matter is Roanoke Rapids does have a drug problem, a serious one. I, for one, can't figure out how the police are aware of what's going on and it continues to happen. Drugs may not have been the case in this matter, but as I've said so many times before, with drugs comes other problems! You just wait and see!


It's not just RR, the US has a drug problem. Drugs are a multi-billion dollar industry. Whether you like it or not, Americans like drugs. This young man just wanted something he couldn't have and sometimes that drive people nutz!

I stand corrected. I was wrong to question the system before the full story came out, I'll admit that. However, I have seen the women in this area and there are some beautiful women here and he's a nice looking young man, i'm quite sure he could've found himself another lady, I guess looks aren't everything.
