Dunn Daily Record
BENSON – A Dunn man is accused of shooting out of the window of a car just after he passed by a trooper conducting a routine traffic stop on Bailey’s Crossroads Road in Harnett County Saturday night. The trooper gave chase, bringing the shooter into custody minutes later.
Trooper T.C. High had stopped a car on the road near Curr-Well Drive, near the Harnett-Johnston County line, when the man’s vehicle passed by. High said he noticed a muzzle flash and the sound of a gunshot coming from the car so he released the stopped driver and pursued the shooter.
The pursued vehicle came to a stop at the intersection of Benson-Hardee Road and Old Fairground Road in Johnston County where Trooper High took 19-year-old Jalon Levern Crenshaw, of 504 E. Pope St., into custody.
Harnett County Sheriff’s Office investigated the incident and charged Crenshaw with discharging a firearm within an enclosure to incite fear. His bond was set at $15,000 secured. Harnett County Sheriff’s Deputy D. Dowdy is the charging officer.
Troop B District 8 First Sgt. D. Hawkins confirmed the information regarding the incident. Rumors had circulated on Saturday that the suspect shot at Trooper High. Hawkins said this was not the case.
No one was injured during this incident.
Perfect example of “you cant fix stupid.”
“How stupid can you be” should probably not be taken as a challenge!!!
I’m sure he was just trying to get his street credit up, but yes prime example of you can’t fix stupid.
Suspect couldn’t get his hair to cooperate, so he shot it.
😭😭North Carolina must be a friendly state everytime something big happens the bond be like 10k 15k but let you have a 8th of weed they be ready to put you away for life 😂
Great job Trooper T.C. High. AS far as Jalon Crenshaw goes, did you put your finger in a electrical outlet for that hairdo?
