SMITHFIELD – An on-going investigation into the robbery of a Smithfield business has led to an arrest.
Brandon Keith Sims, age 32, of Hummingbird Road, Four Oaks was arrested September 11 and charged with felonious robbery with a dangerous weapon.
Smithfield Police allege Sims went to the Comfort Inn on S. Equity Drive around 1:54am July 6, 2024. Armed with a knife he allegedly went behind the counter and stole money from a register. A night clerk on duty was not harmed.
Sims was held under a $60,000 secured bond at the Johnston County Detention Center.
neck and face tattoos just show a propensity for an abandonment of civility.
No truer statement has ever been made on here.
Yep, Unmistakable!
(and there is so much of that around here, it seems)
WHY….??
I don’t know this man’s situation beyond the article, but if I was a bettin’ man, I’d wager my next paycheck (ouch) that he grew up without a father around.
He belongs to the streets.
Lord willing, he gets hooked up with a good prison chaplain and can turn him over to Jesus.
There is a bank president that has tattooes – not his face but on his neck. He has them on his chest and arms too. The clothes he wears at work cover all but a small amount. Wonder is he has the issues that this man has when he isn’t working – a job that required college btw. When he isn’t at work and you just saw him out and about – would you give him this same judgment without knowing anything about him? If so – check your bias about if you think other people need to be more like — you —-
I guess is what you would are really thinking.
No reading what the three of you have to say shows how completely disconnected you are from today’s civilization. Because a person chooses to express there individuality, chooses to be represent something other than the picture that close minded society has painted of what normal is then they are wrong? His tattoos mean nothing it’s his actions you should be speaking on. And even still what happened to innocent until proven guilty?
Don’t mind Brett. He judges because he morally superior to all of us.
Not judgment, merely observation. I observe a pattern, and pattern recognition is a sign of intelligence. Got any?
Just go look at his criminal record….. this guy will NEVER learn. Thankful he didn’t physically harm her.
He really is a nice guy. Life has just been hard for him because of the judgements people pass. I think he was tired of trying and did something to go back to jail, he was really trying though. They need to help people in Johnston County after they leave Prison and I think the reincarnation rate would really drop.
Sadly the much needed mental and regular health needs of many people are not being met. Most can’t afford to see a dr. Family member has so so insurance and just got a $4,000 bill (down from $13,000) for a recent mri and ultrasound (not pregnancy related btw). Also education for prisoners , even those im mail not just prisons, would benefit society too. Job training and getting help with addictions and other mental health issues would change a lot of lives…. criminal or not…
*in jail*
Life is hard for a lot of people and they don’t constantly break the law. Those are his choices and he gets his consequences. BTW, I’m 100% certain that help for people leaving jail has nothing to do with the “reincarnation” rate. I’ve never heard of them bringing a single person back from the dead.
You know that was probably autocorrect kicking in. Also I have made spelling errors and did not catch them until I saw the post. Is there a way to edit after posting? If so let me know as I have not found a way.
