Ten nabbed in police roundup




Ten area people have been charged with a variety of drug and other offenses as the result of a mass roundup conducted by the Wilson Police Thursday.

Lt. Mark Sullivan said some of the arrests made during the roundup were due to narcotics investigations, some of which have been ongoing for over six months.

Sullivan said the remainder of the warrants were served through the North Carolina Arrest Warrant Repository system (NCAWARE).

NCAWARE is a system that allows law enforcement agencies across the state to enter outstanding warrants and have them served regardless of what jurisdiction they originated from. The system maintains detailed information regarding suspects and tracks information and details for all people and businesses involved in the process.

Nine of the 10 people arrested had criminal records according to the North Carolina Department of Correction Web site.

Those charged as a result of the round up were:

* Demetrius R. McMillian, 24, of 508 Lee St. He was arrested and charged with felony sale or delivery of cocaine and is also being held for probation violations. He is currently in the Wilson County Jail under a $15,250 bond, $10,000 of which is only to be paid in cash. His first court appearance on these charges is scheduled for Monday.

McMillian served time in prison in 2006 for common law robbery and in 2004 for felony sell or delivery of a Schedule VI controlled substance. He has also received two probation sentences, one in 2008 and one in 2002 for felonious possession with intent to sell or deliver a Schedule VI controlled substance and for misdemeanor assault on a female in 2002.

He currently has charges pending in Wilson County for no operators license, misdemeanor possession of up to a half ounce of marijuana, no operators license, driving while license revoked, felony possession of a Schedule VI controlled substance, felony possession with intent to sell or deliver marijuana, felonious maintaining a vehicle and dwelling or place for the sale or delivery of a controlled substance.

Yeah, I'm starting to think the whole purpose of making arrests in Wilson County is so that the clowns in charge can make money off of bond and fines, and then circulate the thugs right back into the system so they can do it again. Don't blame the police, (most)work hard and get just as frustrated as the rest of us. Point fingers at the idiots that get paid to keep these guys in jail. They're more of a problem than these 10.

I GUESS THE POLICE THOUGHT THAT THEY WERE DOING SOMETHING WHEN THEY CAUGHT THESE GUYS. ALL ON OLD WARRANTS. BUT, YOU KNOW WHAT PUZZLES ME IS HOW A PERSON CAN GO OU THERE AND TAKE SOMEONES LIFE AND ONLY RECEIVE 4YEARS OR EVEN LESS. SOME LIKE THE YOUNG MAN THAT WAS AN ACCESSORY AFTER THE FACT IN THE WILLIS MURDER CASE. ALL HE GOT WAS ASLAP ON THE WRIST WERE AS ONE OF GUYS GOT LIFE AND THE OTHER PERSON WAS HARRASSED FOR A LONG TIME.THEN ANOTHER INCIDENT THAT BURNED ME UP WAS WHEN A NO GOOD PERSON TOOK MY NIECE AWAY FROM ME. THE ONLY THING HE GOT WAS 19 MONTHS, BUT, HE AND THE POLICE DEPARTMENT SAID THAT IT WAS AN ACCIDENT.BUT,WHY WOULD YOU LET A FELON HAVE A GUN. THAT'S ANOTHER REASON WHY THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM HERE IN OUR COUNTY IS A BIG JOKE. IF THESE WARRANTS WERE OLD THAT THEY SERVED ON THESE GUYS WHY WASTE PAPER AND THE TAX PAYERS MONEY.

This is a shame,,,, that our Police force have to risk their lives to arrest these criminals only for them to get bonded out within hours. Who in the world is responsible for this?????? Who are these guys working for?????????? Something is fishy,,, here in Wilson concerning drug dealers.

Thomas J. Evelyn Jr. had worst charges than all these people put together, so why try and make a big deal out of this. None of these people were in someone house taking all their goods. Thomas only got 16 months. These guys shouldn't even get probation.

Sunday, July 05, 2009 at 2:19 PM Clide said...

Thats crazy. Stop the people that bring the drugs in Wilson County. Then it wont be in the hands of the lower class people to buy or sale on the streets. You lock these people up forever and someone else will step up to the plate. The police didn't do anything but try to make themselves look good. They use these big words to try and make these people seem dangerous and violent. Don't judge the book by the cover story. There is enough cops and technology to stop drugs all together, but thats not what they are trying to do. Have you ever seen a marijuana field in any of these areas where these people were rounded up from? The drugs that these people are being charged for has already made thousands of dollars for someone else. The police are at the tail end of the situation, not the head. Why take the job if you only want to patch a problem. The motto "To Protect and Serve", who are they protecting? No one reading this article was harmed by these people.

Sunday, July 05, 2009 at 1:55 PM What???????? said...

The were arrested by were all released, just paper work, and they are out. Yeah that's our justice system....arrest, paper work, $$$$$ released....and the cycle begins again.

Sunday, July 05, 2009 at 1:12 PM Book Them said...

They need to make an example of these citizens. Perhaps if they did that to a few people others would not be so eager to use our streets to do their shady business.

Sunday, July 05, 2009 at 10:22 AM way to go! said...

The police got them rounded up, now lets see if the court system does anything with them. Doubtful.

Sunday, July 05, 2009 at 9:55 AM Ha said...

Compare what they get--- with the country club kid.

Sunday, July 05, 2009 at 9:22 AM Me Again said...

Great job by our Police Dept., but as we all know, the court systems will not do anything to them. They will probably pay a fine and then they get get back to "business" as usual. What a shame and a "slap in the face" to our police officers, that work so hard and "FOR WHAT?"

Sunday, July 05, 2009 at 6:52 AM our court system said...

what a joke
