The man, 18-year-old Ian Coles, was captured and jailed on $33,000 bond, Deputy Chief Adam Bondarek of the Roanoke Rapids Police Department said today.
Coles was wanted for a June 14 shooting into occupied property. Members of the department’s A squad received information he was hiding and located him at a downtown area apartment.
Officers searched the apartment and noticed an open window. The open window led officers to roof where Coles was running. When he came to the end of the building he jumped 20 feet down onto the roof of another building.
Officers pursued and caught him, charging him with communicating threats, escape from custody and discharging a weapon into occupied property.
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.
