PRINCETON, N.C. — The Johnston County Sheriff’s Office has announced an arrest in the armed robbery of a 78-year-old Princeton-area man who was confronted at gunpoint inside his home in June.

On Aug. 9, deputies arrested Jimmie Spencer Kincaid, 23, of the 5800 block of Bizzell Grove Church Road, Princeton, on warrants charging him with robbery with a dangerous weapon, first-degree burglary and felony conspiracy.

Kincaid was also charged with a felony probation violation related to a 2025 felony drug conviction following an arrest by Selma police.

The charges stem from an armed robbery reported around 2:25 p.m. June 27 at a residence on Edwards Road near Princeton.

The homeowner was not physically injured.

Kincaid was held without bond.
