COM beats reporting blog update #2

     This past week a number of crimes have been committed in the area. Ranging from incidents, robberies, and fatalities. According to the high point police department website, on September 1st 2023, EMS were dispatched too interstate 74 in high point due too a head on crash. Andrew Cabel Jones a 21 year old from high point was the operator of the one vehicle, and was pronounced dead at the scene. The tractor trailer had contained two people, and neither of them sustained injury. As further investigation is taking place, speed seemed to have played a huge role in the factors of this collision. No impairment is suspected, and no charges are going to be filed at this time. According to the high point police department on August 28th 2023 at 3:00am a crime was committed at the Glass City Smoke Shop, where officers responded to an alarm. Upon arrival the business was broken into, the officers than found one suspect who attempted to flee. There were also two other suspects located at the scene. One suspect Mr. Dakota R. Dockery was charged an arrested with this felony. He was taken before a Guilford County Magistrate and received a 1,000 unsecured bond and was released. The other two suspects were charged with the same charges as Dockery but on juvenile petitions, they were then entered in a NCIC as Runways out of Charlotte. According too high point police department, early in August on the 4th, threat of mass violence was taken to a local business owner. He received this message anonymous through a messaging system. Their were also statements made in this message about mass threat of violence too a religious institution. An investigation was open and the high point police department was able too identify and arrest a suspect in this case. No further information has been released.
