Jeffrey Dewayne Lawter, 200 Ridge Creek Drive, was charged with felony speeding to elude arrest, driving with a revoked license, failure to heed a light and siren, reckless driving to endanger, speeding, giving fictitious information to an officer and failure to stop for a steady red light.

Lawter’s bond was set at $5,000 with an April 29 date in Rowan County District Court.
