The man, Edmond Tyler Baird, 19, was arrested today after an investigation by Detective B.C. Griffin of the Halifax County Sheriff’s Office, Sheriff Wes Tripp said in a statement.

Multiple sources today confirmed Baird was involved in youth ministries at East Tenth Church of Christ.

Tripp declined comment on Baird’s employment status. He did confirm the victim in the case was not a member of the church.

Dave Chapman, pastor of the church, said Baird has been suspended without pay pending formal dismissal from the summer internship. His belongings have been boxed. “Our hearts go out to the victim and to the family.”

As the sheriff confirmed, Chapman also confirmed the charges against Baird were not related to the church. “My understanding is the beginning of the offenses predate us knowing him.”

Said Chapman: “Our church is absolutely heartbroken about the situation. It’s so horrific to hear about people engaging in these crimes. It’s something Jesus talked about, looking out for the little children.”

Baird’s arrest today stemmed from Griffin’s investigation after a complaint was received of alleged sexual misconduct with a minor.

The investigation revealed Baird reportedly had an ongoing and continuous sexual relationship with a minor for the past several months, and that the crimes occurred in several locations in the Roanoke Rapids area.  

Griffin charged Baird with four counts of statutory rape of a child and six counts of statutory sexual offence with a child.  

He received a $250,000 bond and August 16 court date.

The charges against Mitchell Anthony Morgan, 19, stem from events which occurred after what was originally dispatched as a shooting call were reported in the 1700 block of Gordon Drive around 9:45 p.m., Roanoke Rapids police Chief Chuck Hasty said in a statement.

Investigation revealed there was no shooting but a physical assault occurred. While Morgan had been identified as the person involved, Hasty said this morning he wasn’t involved in the physical assault.

Officer D. Hundley responded and saw a vehicle leaving the area. Hundley attempted to stop the vehicle but Morgan reportedly failed to heed the officer.

Officers pursued the vehicle to the 500 block of Highway 158.

He was detained as officers investigated the original call and determined there was a disturbance involving simple assault and Morgan was not involved.

Hundley charged Morgan with flee to elude arrest with a motor vehicle, fail to heed to blue lights and siren, speeding, and failing to stop for stop sign.

Trooper D.P. Efird of the state Highway Patrol charged Morgan with driving after consuming and driving while impaired.

He received a $1,500 bond and July 26 court date.

Lieutenant C. Burnette, Sergeant M. Peck, Investigator J. Benthall and Officer C. Batchelor assisted.

Trooper Scott Richardson said Deputy Ray Horton and Sergeant Antoine Johnson applied pressure to Northampton County EMS paramedic Michael Barnes to help slow bleeding down and “possibly saved his life.”

Richardson was the trooper who responded to the crash after receiving the call at Highway 35 and Dusty Hill Road in the Potecasi area shortly after 2:45 a.m.

Barnes was responding to what had initially been dispatched as a shooting call. Northampton County Sheriff Jack Smith said it ended up being a disturbance call.

Barnes went through a stop sign and collided with a tree. Both his legs were injured, Richardson said. The two deputies provided medical attention.

Smith said he was pleased with the efforts of his deputies. “Our deputies do whatever it takes to save or attempt to save human life. I’m proud of these deputies who serve mankind and try to save lives in anyway possible.”

Barnes, 34, was flown from the crash site to Vidant in Greenville. Richardson said the crash remains under investigation to determine whether charges will be filed.

A GoFundMe page has been set up to help defray the paramedic’s medical expenses.

Updates on the page indicate Barnes, an assistant paramedic supervisor, sustained a femur fracture to his left leg and multiple fractures to his right leg.

An update this morning indicated he has full movement and sensation in all extremities.

Chief Deputy Scott Hall said in a statement a husband and wife were charged early Monday morning after a sergeant spotted them walking in the area of highways 125 and 903.

Sergeant J.R. Matthews observed Mark Johnson, 38, and Tiffany Johnson, 32, of Halifax, around 3 a.m.

Matthews located a residence in the area which had been broken into and determined the property was stolen from the home. The stolen items included a makeup bag and home decor items.

The couple was charged with second-degree burglary, felony larceny and possession of stolen goods.

They were jailed on $20,000 bonds and received August 9 court dates.

Main Street Development Director Christina Caudle reported over the last year there were 31 facade improvements, six building rehabs and two public improvement projects.

The total for the program to date is 121 facade improvements, 57 building rehabs and 16 public improvement projects.

There was a net of 52 jobs created. Over the course of the program there have been 493 jobs created and 132 lost for a net of 361 new jobs.

Caudle reported 20 new business openings, four closings and one expansion. She noted more than 50 percent of the new business openings represent the service industry and the four which have closed are retail.

Over the life of the program there have been 137 business opened, 39 closed and four expansions.

Volunteer hours over the last year are at 1,350 and represent a savings of $29,538. In the program to date there have been a total of 11,458 volunteer hours and $250,701 in in-kind volunteering.

There were seven events this year bringing in 2,500 people who spent $16,000. Over the course of the program there have been 19,300 visitors who have spent $112,000.

Private investment reached $4,051,130, a 124 percent increase over the last year. Some of that included the Food Lion and Burger King rehab, Caudle said, noting the bulk of that was small business investment.

Public investment was up 112 percent. At $461,247, that number includes the work on the public green space at 1026 Roanoke Avenue.

Total investment on the avenue is expected to hit $10 million next year. There has been a $1,330,370 public investment made over the course of the program and $7,648,108 in private investment. Total investment over the course of the program is at $8,978,478.

A total of $48 million in private investment is expected through 2019, including Project Chips at Kapstone, the new credit union on Tenth Street and Mill City Market opening in the Countryside Interiors building.

Roanoke Rapids has been in the program since 2009, Caudle said. “People see the value of downtown revitalization. People are looking for quality of life. People know one of our largest assets is our rich history.”

Awards

Lisa Smith of the Quality Shop received the Beautification Award. “They really take care of their property,” Caudle said.

U OK Coffee & Baked Goods was named New Business of the Year.

Owned by LaurieAnn and Dennis Howard, the shop grinds its own coffee and sells baked goods including muffins and brownies. “It’s gaining momentum,” Caudle said.

Business of the year went to the Roanoke Rapids Herald, which has been a long time fixture on the avenue, beginning in the 200 block and now in the 900 block. “It’s a tremendous asset. It’s of tremendous local value to the community,” Caudle said.

Herald Publisher Titus Workman accepted the award and was also recognized for his service to the Main Street Board through the presentation of the President’s Award.

Volunteer of the Year went to Carol Moseley, who was not present.

A Special Appreciation Award was given to state Representative Michael Wray, who secured funding of nearly $95,000 for Main Street Roanoke Rapids.

The funding has allowed a streetscape planning document process; a facade grant program and a local rent subsidy incentive.

“Michael Wray stepped up and supported us,” Caudle said.

“I’m highly honored,” Wray said.

An occupied vehicle was shot several times and the driver’s side window was shattered, Enfield police Detective Willie Murphy Jr. said. He declined to say how many people were in the vehicle.
