Halifax County Sheriff Wes Tripp said Fabian Ellison was taken into custody this evening without trouble after the Pasquotank Sheriff’s Office found him hiding out at his alleged girlfriend's residence.
Halifax investigators will travel to the county Monday to bring the 29-year-old Raleigh man back to the Halifax County Detention Center to face numerous charges in the County Road robbery and assault, which Tripp said earlier today appeared to be tied to a domestic matter.
Pasquotank investigators reportedly found evidence which ties Ellison to the crime, which occurred in the Weldon area shortly after noon, Tripp said in a statement.
The sheriff said this evening evidence in the case may be discussed at a later time. It was not immediately clear the condition of the three victims.
Tripp said the discovery of Ellison was a joint effort between his department and those in Pasquotank. “I’m appreciative of their assistance in this case.”
Ellison reportedly tied and assaulted two adults and a juvenile in the case.
He faces two counts of attempted murder, two counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill Inflicting serious injury, three counts of first-degree kidnapping, three counts of false imprisonment, two counts of robbery with a dangerous weapon, and one count of assault inflicting serious bodily injury.
