Christopher Smith was travelling on Highway 29 near Reidsville. He observed a truck parked by the highway and pulled his car over and in front of the truck. He asked to borrow the truck driver’s cell phone. At that time, Smith called 911 communications to say he had killed his family.
When the deputy arrived at the location, he asked for identification and inquired if Smith had any weapons with him. Smith said he had a shotgun and a sword in the trunk of his car and had killed his family.
After other members of the Sheriff’s Office arrived, Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office was contacted. An execution of a search warrant for the Kernersville address revealed there were no such deaths at the location as Smith claimed.
Smith was taken to the hospital for evaluation, and later charged with FILING A FALSE POLICE REPORT. His bond is $1500 secured and a court date of August 17th was given.

Felonious restraint

Reported: November 16th at 10:38 p.m.
Location of incident: beginning on Thorton Street in Eden
Victim: Cindi Sue Sutherland, 32, of 800 Thorton Street
Reporting officer: Deputy Mike Smith

Deputy Smith responded to Angel’s Bail bonding in Wentworth due to a disturbance. Upon arrival, he determined Cindi Sutherland was now at the magistrate’s office.

Melissa Seiler of Angel’s Bail bonding explained that David Lee Taylor and his mother Gladys Pullium had come to her bonding business. Pullium came inside to speak with Seiler about surrendering Sutherland on a previously signed bond. When Seiler went outside, she found Sutherland being held against her will in the car by Taylor. She explained to Taylor that he could not bring Sutherland to her office against her will and restrained. During this time, Sutherland escaped out the car and to the magistrate’s office as Taylor and Pullium fled the scene. A detective was called to the scene and was told of previous assaults by Taylor to Sutherland.

Following his investigation, Detective Billy Southard obtained warrants. Earlier this morning, Deputy Bill Wade located David Lee Taylor at his residence and placed him under arrest on charges of Felonious Restraint and Domestic Assault on a Female. His bond is $10,000.

Yep. I’m confused. You?

Mr. Davis reported he and Miss Evans had returned home from taking kids “trick or treating”. When they entered the residence, they found a man asleep on the couch.

From our friends at the Rockingham County (NC) Sheriff’s Dept.

While watching a training film at football practice, Coach Bailey stated Joshua Hayes became disruptive with loud comments and cursing. The coach instructed “Josh” to leave his class, but he refused.

Coach Bailey called Principal Whitley. He arrived at the classroom and also instructed “Josh” to leave the classroom due to his behavior. He still refused to leave, causing the principle to call 911 for law enforcement assistance.

When Cpl. Martin arrived at the classroom, he asked the student to leave, but was met with a shouts of profanity. The student also became physically combative as Cpl Martin began to lead him from the room under arrest. He resisted the arrest and called out to others to join him as he increased his resistance of arrest. At that point Cpl. Martin used his Taser to stun the student who ultimately complied.

During the search incident to arrest, two baggies of marijuana were recovered with baggies causing the charge of Possession with Intent to Sell/Deliver Marijuana. “Josh” was also charged with Disorderly Conduct, Second Degree Trespass, and Resisting a Public Officer. His bond was set at $21,000 secured.

From our friends at the Rockingham County Sheriff’s Office…

On July 30th, an Emergency Communications Dispatcher received a telephone call from a person using a cellular telephone. The unidentified caller stated he was going to assassinate the President of the United States. With available equipment, the call was determined to have been placed from a trailer park on Bob Trail in Stoneville. A deputy was dispatched to that area, but was unable to locate the caller. Meanwhile the United States Secret Service was notified of the call.

About 24 hours later another call was made by the same caller. A Secret Service Agent and joined Detective Steve Perkins in an investigation to find the person making the calls. Investigators ultimately went to 109 Abernathy Drive in Stoneville to interview Steve Lee Stone, 44, of that address. During that process, Stone became combative and refused to listen to verbal commands. Stone resisted arrest until Deputy Fred East used his Taser X26. Stone was then handcuffed and transported to the magistrate’s office.

Steve Stone was charged with 2 counts of Misuse of 911 System, Communicating Threats, and Resisting Public Officer. Sheriff Sam Page stated “We take all threats serious and was glad when this man was located. We often work with the Secret Service and fortunately, it is not ordinarily for this reason. I believe this is the first threat made against a President since I have been Sheriff.”

As soon as we find out about this guy’s sentence (his court date was yesterday), we’ll update this story. Thanks go out to Dean Venable, Public Information Officer at the RCSO, for getting this information out!

Dennis Wayne Fulk, 47, of 150 Wood Ford Lane in Stokesdale entered the Clerk of Court’s Office to pay money on his case from court. The clerk assisting Fulk had placed his case file on the counter. While conducting his business at the counter, Fulk asked the clerk to make a copy of a document related to his case.

When the clerk turned to the copier to make the requested copy, Fulk reached over the counter and did steal evidence, handwritten letter in case file…relevant to a criminal offense, a handwritten letter by the victim in a case…that was ordered into case file by Judge.

When the clerk turned back and asked about the document, Fulk denied taking it.

Detective Kevin Suthard investigated the crime and obtained a warrant for the arrest of Fulk. He has been served the warrant and has been given a $25,000 bond.

The crime was recorded by video camera.

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.

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.
