An Enfield man with two domestic protective order violations against him is wanted for sex offenses which the Halifax County Sheriff’s Office reports occurred Saturday morning in the Weldon area.
Chief Deputy Scott Hall confirmed that the protective orders involve the victim in Saturday’s case and that the man wanted — Travell Scott, 27 — and the victim are acquainted. The call came in around 9 a.m.
In a statement Hall said the Halifax County 911 Center received a call from a woman stating she was the victim of a home break-in and sexual assault in the Weldon area.
The victim provided the name of the suspect and reported that he had fled the scene in a dark-colored SUV and was possibly headed toward Enfield.
