Three Rowan County residents were arrested on felony second-degree kidnapping charges on Monday for an incident that occurred last year.

Wayne Joseph Dryden, 31; Isaiah Thomas Mullis, 18; and Kendall Leanne Galloway, 22, were all arrested at a U.S. Hwy. 29 address in China Grove. The report reflects new charges for the trio, which was initially charged with armed robbery for the incident.

According to records from the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office, the incident played out a gathering that was taking place in November at one of the victim’s residence.

Records indicate that Mullis, Dryden and Galloway showed up to the gathering uninvited and then kept others on the property from leaving. Kidnapping charges can be filed anytime an individual unlawfully confines, restrains or moves another person from one place to another place without their consent.

Targeted attack

Investigators are looking for a white male and female believed to be responsible for targeted attack of an employee at the Dollar General on Grace Church Road from over the weekend.

According to reports from the sheriff’s office, the duo pulled up outside the business in a Chevrolet truck. The male walked into the store and came around the counter where the employee was standing.

At that time, the male suspect reportedly assaulted the clerk, although the extent of the injuries remains unclear. The report indicated that the clerk did not require medical attention.

The employee told deputies that he did not know the suspect of the female that was in the truck. The motive remains unknown. No other crimes were committed during the incident.
