A man wanted for a double murder in Rowan County was apprehended by Roanoke Rapids police in the area of Creekside Court Tuesday.

James Michael Robinson, 23, of Salisbury, was wanted for two counts of murder, and for non-negligent manslaughter, Roanoke Rapids police Chief Andy Jackson said today.

Robinson had been holed up on Oak Ridge Drive for an undisclosed amount of time, Jackson said. He apparently had acquaintances living in the area.

The State Bureau of Investigation had information that he might be in the area, Jackson said.

 

The Rowan Free Press reported that Robinson was the third and final person wanted in the October 8 murders of Antonio Waker and James Walker Jr., in the town of Spencer.
