Only one birthdate per customer...

A field interview by Officer W.K. Sawyer on Wednesday afternoon resulted in the arrest of a felony fugitive wanted in Mecklenburg County, NC.



Kefauver Roy Berry--He doesn't know how
to spell "Roy Johnson"

Officer Sawyer observed a man panhandling for money in the parking lot of SHEETZ at the intersection of Tenth Street & Charles Blvd, and stopped to speak with the man.   The man provided Officer Sawyer with the name "Roy Johnson,"  but the man then didn't know how to spell it.  He also provided Officer Sawyer with 2 different birthdates. 

Officer Sawyer continued to try to speak with the man about panhandling, when the man then shoved Officer Sawyer and began to run away.

About 5 steps later, the man was in custody and under arrest.

Officer Sawyer's continued investigation found that the man was actually Kefauver Roy Berry, a felon wanted for drug violations in Charlotte, NC.

Berry was arrested and charged with Assault on a Police Officer,  Felony ID Theft, and Resist, Delay, & Obstruct of a Police Officer.

Berry is from Kinston, NC but is wanted in Charlotte for felony possession of cocaine.  He is being held at the Pitt County jail under a $10,000 secured bond, pending transport back to Mecklenburg County.
