Pinebluff Police Nab Suspect in Charlotte Case

Wednesday, April 7, 2010

A routine traffic check Sunday by Pinebluff police led to a big arrest.

Cpl. Donald Morton and Officer Annette Gooselin arrested Corey Stephen Ross, 39, at 6:45 p.m. after discovering he had an outstanding federal warrant for manslaughter, according to Sgt. Christopher Sanderson.

The officers were working a seatbelt check at the intersection of Currant Street and East New England Avenue.

"He (Ross) said his license had been revoked and when they ran his name through the computer it came back with FBI warrants," Sanderson said.

According to Moore County jail records, Ross is from Southern Pines. He is being held on a charge of driving on a revoked license and a probation violation.

A phone message left for a federal investigator in Charlotte was not immediately returned.

Sanderson said Ross, who was wearing his seat belt, didn't give the officers any problems when they arrested him.

"Maybe he didn't know about the warrants, or maybe he just knew it was about time for it to end," Sanderson said.

Omg... Really? He did not kill someone in Charlotte! He was in a vehicle with his cousin and also Best Friend whom he loved dearly. But because the accident happened in Fort Bragg it became Federal. I do wish sometimes the pilot would get a story straight before printing it. This def made him sound like a cold blooded killer and he is far from that!

I'll tip my hat to the Pinebluff police, thank you very much. It's too bad that so much of the commentary is focused on a mistake in the original headline as opposed to the fact that a fugitive was brought into custody.

I just think it's lame that Pinebluff PD had a check point on Easter Sunday, The Pilot has it all wrong this was a traffic accident, The reason why you never got a call back from the Fed's from Charlotte is because it's not their jurisdiction it's Greensboro's. Where The Pilot came up with Charlotte was was effin off.
