SALISBURY — A 19-year-old is in custody after reportedly breaking and entering a home and attempting to flee the police.
James Edward Wooding, 19, was arrested on Tuesday following the incident that allegedly began when a Lantz Avenue man returned home to find the accused in his home. The homeowner’s son reportedly chased the invader off only to have Wooding reveal a firearm.
After leaving, Wooding reportedly got into a white Nissan Sentra, but not before the homeowner got the license plate information. Police tracked down the car. A pursuit began that ultimately ended on Old Wilkesboro Road when Wooding reportedly attempted to flee on foot.
