Joint Operation Leads to Multiple Arrests and Firearm Seizures in Nash County

The North Carolina Alcohol Law Enforcement Division (ALE), North Carolina State Highway Patrol (NCSHP) and the Nash County Sheriff's Office (NCSO) completed a mobile enforcement operation in Nash County last weekend to target controlled substance violations, ABC law violations, DWI violations and crime occurring at and or around ABC licensed businesses. The enforcement operation resulted in several arrests and seizures.

During this operation, a vehicle pursuit was initiated after Dreyshawn Robinson nearly struck an agent's vehicle head-on, driving erratically and showing signs of impairment or reckless behavior. During the pursuit, Robinson reached speeds of over 100 mph, ran several red lights and continued to drive erratically through Rocky Mount, the passenger, Kendrick Richardson, exited the vehicle during the pursuit, while the driver continued driving. Richardson fled on foot into nearby woods and was subsequently apprehended by ALE agents.

NCSO deputies were able to locate the Dodge Charger involved in the pursuit at a residence in Rocky Mount. A search warrant was conducted for the residence and two firearms were seized. Robinson was charged with possession of firearm by felon and felony flee to elude arrest along with other related charges.

In total, 17 people faced 39 charges from the operation. Law enforcement seized the 2015 Dodge Charger used during the vehicle pursuit, four firearms, two of which were unlawfully possessed by a convicted felon, and one firearm had an altered serial number. Altered or missing serial numbers create a threat to public safety by making firearms untraceable. This eliminates critical evidence used by the law enforcement community to solve gun violence crimes and allows for those prohibited from owning firearms, like felons or domestic abusers to bypass the legal requirements for possessing a firearm.

The following people were charged during the enforcement operation:
