The Roanoke Rapids Police Department reported the following Saturday:

Around 10 p.m., Officer Patrick Smith responded to a breaking and entering call at the Carolina Inn on Jackson Street.

Smith, according to Chief Chuck Hasty, learned that two people had allegedly entered an unoccupied room by going through a window.

Lieutenant Jeff Baggett and Officer Matt Hunsucker also responded to assist in checking the room. Once inside the room the officers located Chinita M. Williams, 43, and Edward L. Crowell, 53, both of Pleasant Hill.

Williams and Crowell were taken into custody without trouble abd were charged with breaking and entering and given a $500 bond with a court date of January 16.

It was unclear why they allegedly broke into the room, Hasty said.

Around 11:45 p.m., Officer Gerald Morris stopped a vehicle for an equipment violation.

During the interaction with the driver and passenger of the vehicle, officers reportedly observed marijuana in the vehicle.

The passenger, Sean T. Hester, 39 of Roanoke Rapids was arrested for the marijuana.

During the search of Hester after his arrest officers reportedly found a concealed gun and some pills.

Hester was arrested and charged with possession of 7.2 grams of marijuana, possession of schedule IV — two Alprazolam pills and one Diazepam pill — possession of drug paraphernalia and carrying a concealed weapon.

 

Hester was given a $700 bond and a court date of February 14.
