JACKSON – Seven individuals with outstanding warrants were arrested Wednesday as the Northampton County Sheriff’s Office and the Down East Task Force conducted “Operation Summer Heat Clean-up.”

The operation included Sheriff’s Office personnel from the criminal investigations division, patrol deputies, a pair of K-9 units, the narcotics division, and several units from the Down East Task Force.

Patrick Jacobs, Captain of the NCSO Criminal Investigations Division, said the operation was targeted towards individuals with outstanding warrants in the system.

The seven arrested on Wednesday were:

Macques Daye of Conway was charged with five felony counts of breaking and entering motor vehicle, two felony counts of larceny from motor vehicle, one felony count of breaking and entering, one count of felony larceny, one felony count of larceny of motor vehicle parts, one count of attempted larceny, and one count of possession of stolen goods out of Northampton County.

These warrants were the result of an investigation by Jacobs on April 24 where Daye and a co-defendant, Dontay Pugh, were involved in a breaking and entering of a mechanical shop outside of Rich Square.

Capt. Jacobs said that Daye also had an order for arrest out of Harnett County, four orders for arrest out of Hertford County, a warrant out of Hertford County for one count of breaking and entering, one count larceny after breaking and entering, and one count possession of stolen goods.

Daye received a total bond of $70,300 with several pending court dates in Northampton, Harnett and Hertford counties.

“I complement Captain Patrick Jacobs for his hard work and good investigation to secure the warrants on Mr. Daye for the felony charges listed above. We had been searching for Mr. Daye for almost a year for previous outstanding warrants,” said Northampton County Sheriff Jack Smith.

The roundup also nabbed:

Kenneth Gatling of Rich Square for one count of probation violation out of Northampton County. Gatling received a $1,000 secured bond and he was scheduled to appear in court on Thursday.

Casey Williams of Rich Square for one count of probation violation out of Northampton County. He was held under a $500 secured bond and made his initial court appearance on Thursday.

Justin Vaughan of Rich Square for one order for arrest for failure to appear out of Halifax County. He received a $1,000 secured bond and a court date of Sept. 6.

Andre Ramsey of Woodland for one count of breaking and entering, one count of larceny after breaking and entering, and one count of possession of stolen goods. These warrants were the result of an investigation by Capt. Patrick Jacobs on July 6 of last year where Ramsey was found to be involved in a breaking and entering of a residence in the Milwaukee area.

Ramsey also had additional warrants for resisting a public officer, felony possession of cocaine, felony possession of marijuana, possession with intent to manufacture sell and deliver marijuana, possession of cocaine to manufacture sell and deliver, possession drug paraphernalia, and maintaining a vehicle / dwelling place with controlled substance. These warrants stemmed from a vehicle stop conducted by Deputy T. Worrell and Deputy K. Byrum on July 8, 2016 in Potecasi in which Ramsey was an occupant of the vehicle. Upon investigation by the deputies, Ramsey was found in possession of cocaine and marijuana.

Ramsey received a total bond of $40,300 and was scheduled to make his first court appearance on Thursday.

“I want to first commend the Northampton County Sheriff’s Office and the Down East Task Force members,” said Sheriff Smith. “I would like to compliment these officers for their extra hard work for locating these people we been looking for several months. I would like to commend them for the professionalism for the way they carried out this roundup and because of this they were able to have a successful day without any types of issues arresting these people.

“The Northampton County Sheriff’s Office is committed to serving warrants and removing dangerous and wanted people off of our streets and highways,” Smith concluded.
