LILESVILLE At 11:26 a.m., Deputy Jeremy Benoist responded to the Lilesville Trash Dump following a report of a damaged gate. The reporting victim said that the gate was not damaged when he opened for the day but later in the morning a customer let him know about the damage.
The victim told Deputy Benoist that when he checked on the gate, he saw the damage and a box with a name and address on it. Investigating further, Deputy Benoist visited the home whose address was on the box, finding a vehicle with obvious damage parked on the front lawn. The woman who answered the door explained that her son took trash to the dump the day before. As the individuals involved claimed injury, Deputy Benoist backed off and called for Rescue to render aid. The case is active.

MORVEN At 7:27 a.m., Sgt. Mario Kobersy responded to a home on Cason Oldfield Road. following a report of a stolen 4-wheeler, valued at $4,000. The victim said that he had parked the recreational vehicle behind his home the night before and when he awoke this morning, the 4-wheeler was gone. Other motorized vehicles are still present in the yard, seemingly untouched. The 4-wheeler is a blue 2023 Honda Forman Rubicon. The case is active.
WADESBORO At 11:31 a.m., Deputy Taylor White responded to Rising Sun Road. following the report of several stolen items; tools, a ladder, deer camera, car battery, outside drop cord and suboxone strips. Value of the stolen items is unknown and the case is active.
WADESBORO At 10:25 a.m., Deputy Wylder Kuhn responded to the corner of NC 109 North and Crystal Road following a report of a male and female couple fighting in the middle of the street. The male was allegedly in possession of a knife, and possibly stabbing the female. When Deputy Kuhn arrived at the scene, he found a couple in combat in the roadway, as reported. Once Deputy Kuhn separated the pair, he learned the male did have a knife in one of his pants pockets. Deputy Kuhn observed a small, silver box cutter located where the male described and it appeared as though it had not been opened, though the eye witness had claimed to see it. Speaking with both individuals separately, Deputy Kuhn learned from the male that the female attacked him when he tried to leave her residence. According to the male suspect, the female was hit in the face and after she followed him down the road he decided to defend himself. It appeared to Deputy Kuhn when he arrived on scene as though the female was the primary aggressor in the situation. Deputy Kuhn was unable to glean much from the female as she was nearly incoherent and kept insisting that “Ya’ll need to lock him up.”
It is not clear if the female was incoherent from alcohol or drug abuse, or just from being punched in the face by the male. Unable to determine exactly who the aggressor was, Deputy Kuhn brought the pair before Magistrate Weaver, who decided to place both in the Anson County Jail, which occurred without incident. Vernon McKinney was charged with one count Misdemeanor Assault On A Female and Ruby Caple was charged with one count of Simple Assault.
