Three incidents in 24 hours make for a lot of press releases…
First: A 15 month-old child was bitten on the shoulder, jaw and nose by a chained dog and recieved stitches in the Morehead Hospital emergency room. The owner of the dog was charged with having an non-vaccinated dog. The dog was taken to the Reidsville Veterinarian Hospital and placed in quarantine for rabies evaluation.
Second: The owner of the old Monroeton school property called deputies when he found three men loading metal equipment on the back of a truck. When the deputy arrived, he found 2 radiators already on the truck with four large file cabinets ready to be loaded. All of the property came from inside the building and returned to the owner and the truck was seized. Here’s where it gets funny… It seems that one of the guys asked the other two guys to help him move some stuff. He didn’t tell them that he was stealing it. Oopsie!
Gregory Leon Slade Sr. 35, of 1405 Hawkins Street in Reidsville was charged with 2 counts of Felony Breaking & Entering, 2 counts of Felony Larceny, and 2 counts of Possessing Stolen Property. His bond was set at $20,000 secured.
Third: A woman said that while she was driving on Oregon Hill Road at about 2:30 a.m. she noticed a vehicle behind her activating a white strobe light. She believed the car to be a patrol vehicle and pulled over the side of the road. The car behind her positioned his car like a patrol vehicle, but when he exited the car she noticed him to be wearing a white t-shirt and blue jeans. The victim became fearful and drove away immediately, trying to escape. A short distance away, she found a mobile home park (Leisure Land). She turned off her lights and tried quickly to turn into the park, where she struck the sign to the park. Her car got stuck and the glass of her car had shattered. Two persons from the mobile home park came outside after hearing the crash and hearing the victim scream. They saw the suspect’s vehicle as he had followed her to the park. They watched as the suspect drove away.
The suspect is described as Hispanic or black male, about 5’10” tall, stocky build, short black hair, white t-shirt, blue jean shorts or pants. His vehicle might be a light colored Honda or Ford station wagon type car with a strobe light on the dash or under the rear view mirror. Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact the Sheriff’s detectives at 336-634-3238. Anonymous callers can call crime stoppers at 349-9683 for a reward up to $1,000.
