A man already facing court dates for previous break-ins at T.J. Davis and Perkinson’s service station was charged again Sunday, according to the Roanoke Rapids Police Department.

Dale Maurice Williams was charged by Officer B. Council with breaking and entering, larceny and damage to property.

His arrest occurred around 8 p.m. after Council on a routine patrol around 12:15 a.m. noticed a window was broken at Perkinson’s in the 300 block of Roanoke Avenue, Chief Chuck Hasty said in a statement.

The business was broken into and items were taken.

Investigation determined Williams, 31 of Roanoke Rapids, was the alleged suspect and Council obtained warrants for his arrest.

Council located Williams on Second Street around 8 p.m. and took him into custody.

Hasty said Williams took spare change from Perkinson’s. “He’s doing more damage to the building than the amount of money he was actually getting.”

Williams is reportedly suspected of committing other break-ins at the service station and in September was tied to break-ins at Perkinson’s on the ninth and 17th of the month and one at T.J. Davis on September 24.

He has court appearances set November 7 for three counts of felony breaking and entering, larceny after breaking and entering and injury to real property.

He is also scheduled to appear in court on November 7 for felony breaking and entering of a motor vehicle, no operators license and an equipment violation.

On November 14 he is scheduled to appear in court for driving while license revoked and on Friday he is scheduled to appear in court for no operators license and open container.

For the charges lodged against him Sunday he received a $30,000 bond and November 7 court date.

The investigation continues, Hasty said in the statement, and further charges are expected.

Hasty also reported around 1 a.m. Sunday officers responded to a call of an active breaking and entering in the 1400 block of Pruden Street.

A neighbor noticed a person trying to get into an empty residence. The person fled when confronted.

Sergeant M. Peck located Mario Astul Saravia, 30, of Roanoke Rapids, on Chase Avenue and arrested him, charging him with breaking and entering.

Saravia received a $1,000 bond and November 30 court date.
