TARBORO —
An alert resident in the Battleboro Community helped Edgecombe County Sheriff's deputies arrest three suspects in a Wednesday break-in.
The caller alerted the Sheriff's Office that a break-in was in progress in the Dunbar Woods Community and that the suspects were in a green Honda Accord. The citizen remained on the phone with the sheriff's office and told them which direction the vehicle was traveling.
As deputies were responding to the scene, they located the vehicle — with and three suspects inside of it — behind a residence on New Hope Church Road.
Deputies placed 20-year old Jeremy Senaye McKinley Williams, of 1204 Freer Dr., Rocky Mount, 18-year old Marquavion Deshon Mosley, of 1206 St. Andrew St., Tarboro and 21-year old Cedric Donal Dozier of 406 St. Patrick St., Tarboro in custody and charged them with the break-in.
Williams was charged with breaking and entering, larceny after breaking and entering, felony conspiracy, injury to personal property, resist public officer and assault on government official. Deputies also learned Williams had outstanding warrants in Nash County that were tied to another break-in. He was served with outstanding warrants for obtaining property by false pretense, breaking and entering and larceny after breaking and entering. He was jailed in the Edgecombe County Detention Center under a $35,000 secured bond.
Mosley was charged with breaking and entering, larceny after breaking and entering, felony conspiracy and injury to personal property. He was jailed under a $200,000 secured bond.
Dozier was charged with breaking and entering, larceny after breaking and entering, felony conspiracy and injury to personal property and jailed under a $5,000 secured bond.
Edgecombe County Sheriff James Knight said there are more charges pending in the case.

Tarboro Woman’s Club presented awards
The May meeting of the Tarboro Woman’s Club held at the Albemarle on Wednesday was a celebration of the club’s 60 years of service to this community. The speaker at the meeting was Carolyn Owens, special events coordinator for Edenton Tourism, and her topic was The Edenton Tea Party. It seems a variety of myths have colored the facts about the Edenton ladies’ protest against their husband’s boycott of tea following King George III’s new tax on tea imports in 1775.
