KELFORD – A local man suspected of firing shots at a vehicle here Wednesday morning is now locked up in the Bertie/Martin Regional Jail with no bond.

Conwell, and Deputy J. Williams were able to get a description of the person doing the shooting.

Investigators with the Bertie County Sheriff’s Office obtained a search warrant for a home on front Street in Kelford. The warrant was executed on Thursday at which time Investigators and deputies took Palmer into custody.
