Indecent exposure
This morning around 3 Sergeant I. Smith was dispatched to a man later identified as Tony Taylor walking down Highway 158 near Interstate 95 without clothing.
Smith located the 45-year-old Weldon man near Premier Boulevard.
Taylor was placed under arrest, dressed after finding his clothing along the roadside, and taken before a Halifax County magistrate.
He was charged with indecent exposure and remains in the Halifax County Detention Center due to a prior indecent exposure count.
He has a May 25 district court date.
Flee to elude
On Sunday shortly before 12:15 p.m. Officer A. Dickens was running stationary radar in the area of West Second near Poplar streets when he noticed the driver of a vehicle exceeding the posted speed limit.
Dickens activated his blue lights and siren and the driver, later identified as Jayquan Lee Smith-Walley, made an immediate left turn onto West Third Street.
The driver picked up speed as Dickens was attempting to make a traffic stop — the driver running two stop lights and hitting a stop sign at the corner of Fourth Street and Washington Avenue.
Dickens got the driver to pull over on Highway 301 near Washington Avenue after the vehicle’s front tire blew out.
Dickens, after assistance from the Halifax County Sheriff’s Office, identified the driver as 23-year-old Smith-Walley of Halifax.
He was placed under arrest and taken before a Halifax County magistrate, who charged him with felony flee to elude, careless and reckless driving, fail to heed blue lights and siren, injury to property, speeding, fail to stop for stop sign, and fail to stop for steady red light.
He has an April 25 district court date for those charges as well previously filed marijuana charges. “I’d like to thank all of the deputies who assisted Officer Dickens during this incident,” Davis said.
