Detective Robert Hale said he has secured warrants for the arrest of Jermaine Joyner, 33, for shooting into an occupied dwelling and injury to real property. The shooting, in which no one was injured, occurred April 30.

Hale said Joyner is also wanted for questioning in two fires in the Hobgood area, one on May 16 which left a house a total loss and one Sunday on the same property in which a vehicle was declared a total loss.

Chief Deputy Scott Hall said in a statement the crimes are believed to be related to the ongoing dispute.

Hale said Joyner should be considered armed and dangerous. Joyner is from the Hobgood area and also has ties to Martin County and Tarboro.

Anyone with information is encouraged to contact Hale at the sheriff's office by calling 252-583-8201 or Crimestoppers at 252-583-4444.
