𝗜𝗻 𝗥𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲: 𝗦𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟭𝟭, 𝟮𝟬𝟬𝟭

25 years ago today, thousands of Americans were just beginning their day and coming into work. All the while, 19 men were about to enact a plan that would result in the death of 2,977 civilians, fire personnel, and law enforcement officers.

We all remember where we were and what we were doing when the attacks took place.

Today, we take the time to solemnly recognize and remember the tragic and senseless loss of life that occurred on 9/11/2001.

We will never forget.

Yesterday morning, shortly after 5:00am, deputies were dispatched to a residence in Gates in reference to a breaking and entering in progress.

On arrival, deputies cleared the residence and searched the area for the offender. However, the suspect fled prior to law enforcement’s arrival on scene. Deputies were able to quickly identify the suspect as Devonte Wilson.

Shortly after fleeing the scene, Wilson was able to be safely apprehended with the assistance of the Down East Drug and Violent Crime Task Force, and the North Carolina Department of Adult Corrections Special Operations and Intelligence Unit (SOIU).

Wilson was charged with (F) Break/Enter to Terrorize/Injure, (M) Domestic Criminal Trespass, (M) Assault with a Deadly Weapon, (M) Communicating Threats , and (M) Assault on a Female. Wilson is currently being held without bond.

We extend a big “Thank you!” To our area partners for their assistance today!
