WILLOW SPRING – An investigation into a shooting involving an Amazon delivery van has led to an arrest.
Juelle Amos Thomas, age 21, of Hugh Lane, Smithfield was arrested April 20 by the Johnston County Sheriff’s Office. Thomas was served with a felony warrant charging him with discharging a weapon into an occupied vehicle.
On March 29 around 5:16am, an Amazon driver reported a vehicle began following him near the intersection of White Memorial Church Road and Mt. Pleasant Road in the Willow Spring community in western Johnston County.
The driver said he pulled onto Raspberry Court for his delivery when the suspect stopped behind his delivery van, blocking him from moving.
The suspect reportedly pulled out a .357 handgun with a red laser and fired into the back of the van.
Fortunately the driver was not injured.
The incident was immediately reported and corroborated through dash camera video.
After investigating the incident for several weeks, sheriff’s detectives were able to execute a search warrant and recover evidence reportedly linking Juelle Thomas to the crime.
A motive for the incident remains under investigation.
Did he sign his bond and leave
If he had the same judge as the ex-cop, then he probably told the judge what he wanted to have his bail set at. $2.00
