Chief Chuck Hasty said in a statement Officer J. Mason obtained warrants for the arrest of Moesha Shantel Ward for hit and run and no operator’s license. She also has an outstanding warrant for larceny by employee, which Hasty said was the reason Mason learned she fled.
The crash occurred at the intersection of Highways 158 and 48 around 1:30 p.m.
She has, according to state court records, an October 10 court date in Halifax for the no operator’s license charge and having a cancelled, revoked or suspended tag.
Hasty said Ward, 20, of Roanoke Rapids, is encouraged to come to the police department to take care of the matter.
Anyone with information on her whereabouts is encouraged to call the police department at 252-533-2810 or Crimestoppers at 252-583-4444.
