These deputies’ stories remind us why remembrance matters. We encourage our community to watch, reflect, and help preserve the memory of those who never came home.

A quarter-century has passed, but our commitment remains unchanged: We will never forget.

09/11/2026

Behind every memory of September 11 is a personal story. Some of our deputies were there as the horrific events unfolded, and they have graciously opened up about the moments that have stayed with them for the past 25 years.

Sharing these experiences was not easy, especially for those speaking publicly about them for the first time. Please take a moment to watch their stories and remember the victims, their families, and everyone whose life was forever changed that day.

09/11/2026

Twenty-five years later, the memories of September 11, 2001, remain vivid for those who witnessed the tragedy firsthand. Several of our deputies recently sat down to recount what they saw and experienced that day. For some, it was the first time they had shared their stories on camera.

We invite you to listen to their powerful accounts and reflect on a day that forever changed our nation. We honor the lives that were lost and renew our promise to never forget.

Two for Two- Pursuit Ends in Arrest

Yesterday evening, while on patrol, Union County Sheriff’s Office deputies attempted to stop a vehicle displaying a forged tag. The driver, later identified as Timothy Lewis of Mecklenburg County, refused to stop and led deputies on a brief pursuit.

Deputies quickly positioned themselves ahead of the vehicle and successfully deployed stop sticks. Despite the vehicle’s tires losing air, Lewis continued to flee before eventually stopping in a business parking lot. Lewis then fled on foot, jumping over a fence.

Stallings Police Department’s K9 was deployed and located Lewis hiding underneath a porch on Aurora Boulevard.

Lewis was arrested and charged with multiple traffic offenses along with:

• Speeding to Elude Arrest
• Assault on a Government Employee
• Altered Plates
• Drug related charges

Lewis was issued a $10,000 secured bond and remains in custody.

Chief Tony Underwood added “If you come to Union County thinking you can run from our deputies, you better think again. Our deputies are well trained and work together to make sure fleeing suspects are held accountable. We will pursue you; we will find you, and we will arrest you.

Suspect Arrested After Fleeing Checkpoint

Over the weekend, the Union County Sheriff’s Office conducted a checkpoint in the Weddington area. What began as a routine checkpoint quickly escalated when a driver refused to produce a valid driver’s license.

The driver, later identified as Xavier Woods, who had 18 pending charges, made an illegal U-turn, nearly striking a deputy, before fleeing the checkpoint. Deputies immediately pursued the vehicle.

Woods led deputies on a brief pursuit that ended when he crashed on Beulah Church Road. He then fled on foot into a wooded area.

While deputies were conducting a K-9 track, they were notified that Woods had gotten a ride to a local convenience store. Deputies located Woods on Butterburr Drive in a neighborhood near the store.

As deputies approached, Woods ran again. He quickly learned he wasn’t the track star he thought he was, and deputies took him into custody without incident.
Woods was arrested and charged with:

• Flee to Elude
• PWISD Ma*****na
• Possession of a Fi***rm by a Felon
• Possession of a Schedule II Controlled Substance
• DWLR
• Carrying a Concealed Weapon
• Assault on a Government Official
• Resisting, Delaying, or Obstructing an Officer

Woods was taken before a magistrate and given no bond due to his 18 pending charges plus the 8 new ones. He is currently being housed at the Union County Detention Center.

Proactive Policing Leads to Stolen Trailer Recovery

Recently, while on patrol, Union County Sheriff’s Office deputies were able to locate a stolen 18-wheeler trailer. Deputies initiated a traffic stop, and the tractor-trailer stopped at the intersection of Rocky River Road and Old Charlotte Highway.

During the investigation, they determined the driver had rented the trailer from another individual located in Concord. Deputies were able to make contact with the Concord Police Department, and they will be following up with the investigation.

This incident is a strong reminder of how easy it can be to become the victim of a scam. Criminals can make fraudulent transactions and rental agreements appear legitimate, leaving unsuspecting people involved in situations they never intended to be part of. Always verify who you are doing business with, confirm ownership of property, and be cautious when something does not seem right.
