Williams Williams Roanoke Rapids Police Department

A Garysburg man faces looting charges this morning after he allegedly broke the glass door of Hardee’s on Tenth Street shortly after 2:30.

Captain Andy Jackson of the Roanoke Rapids Police Department said central dispatch reported the alarm went off and Roanoke Rapids officers Gorton Williams and David Brown arrived to find glass broken.

Captain Jay Burch of the Halifax County Sheriff’s Office, who was working the storm command post, found Devontea Williams, 19, at Ninth and Jefferson Street. He had glass fragments on his clothes and his hands were cut.

Burch and Lieutenant Scott Hall, also of the sheriff’s office, placed Williams, of Peach Street, in custody.

He was charged with forced burglary, safecracking, possession of burglary tools and looting. Nothing was taken from the Hardee’s restaurant.

He has a May 4 court date.

Jackson said none of the business damaged by Saturday’s tornado have been looted.

While you are being so judgemental remember that you reap what you sow. No one is perfect, only God has the say what he will have in life not you, Mr. Hope that day don't come when all eyes are on you or your family. Remember that while you ar being so judgemental.

Quoting T-ONE:
In our Crooks are stupid department...we have D. Williams. Who breaks into a place and don't steal anything? The least you could have done was make yourself a Deluxe with cheese. Another young person charged with a Felony. If green jobs or factory jobs do come to NC...I dont't think he'll be candidate.


I agree with T-One. Even if jobs were plentiful here, his type isn't going to be out looking to earn an honest day's pay. We should ALL have a low opinion of this guy, and the color of his skin has nothing to do with it.

I think Lance should have posted the comments. No matter how ugly his comments was/were...he has the right to say them (IMO). Freedom of Speech! As an African American (black man)I think we need to know how they feel about us. If this young man had channel his energy toward a skill or education...we would not be having this conversation.

Your are so right Lekesia! Lance the least you could have done was apologize to Lekesia but I guess it's not your fault that you let that slide through right. Whether it was on Facebook or not it should have been screened. I'm a black female and if I have had seen it I would have been furious. All blacks don't comment crimes! We are educated and just as successful as the next race!!!

Lakesia, your comment and T-One's comment are the only ones that have been received on the website itself. There was a comment on the Facebook page I deemed racially charged and removed that. Thanks for your comment - Editor

I would like to comment on a comment that was made earlier on this story that seems to ve been remove. I thought all comment dealig with a story was to be screened before they are posted but that was not the case in this story. Racial comment are hurtful and wrong. This man commited a crime and yes he is black but is does not give people the right to use racial comments to bad mouth him. There are many whites who commit stupid crimes as well so be careful what you say about a person of any race it affects everyone.
