Al-Amin on the Most Wanted list since last April was sought for eight residential and business break-ins, and a charge of possession of a firearm by a felon, in March 2014.
Detectives from the Sheriff’s Office contacted the Davidson County Sheriff Office, alerting them of Al-Amin’s whereabouts in Thomasville. Right away Al-Amin was captured without a struggle and returned to Rowan County. Al-Amin is in the Rowan County Detention Center under a $100,000 secured bond.
Parham, a recent addition to the Sheriff’s Office Most Wanted List in July, cut off probation monitoring ankle bracelet off and disappeared from his residence. Law enforcement also sought Parham for two incidents involving the theft of lawn mowers. Investigators obtained warrants for Parham for the mowers on July 28th and the following day sheriff’s deputies determined Parham ditched his electronic monitoring device near A.L. Brown High School in Kannapolis.
Parham was accused in March of tailgating an off-duty Rowan Sheriff’s deputy driving his personal vehicle with his young child. When the deputy stopped for a traffic light, Parham jumped out, pulled out a knife and tried to open the door. The deputy promptly drew his handgun and informed Parham he was an off-duty officer.
Records show Parham molested a 13-year-old girl in 2011 Later in 2012 Parham was charged with throwing trash cans and concrete blocks off overpasses on several occasions, damaging several passing vehicles. He was convicted for both cases in 2013 in both cases.
