♦ Billy Floyd Pless, Jr., 61, of Spencer, N.C., a “one man crime wave” with a long criminal record stretching back to 1982 and who is frequently seen tooling around Salisbury, N.C. in a motorized wheelchair, is back in the Rowan County Detention Center. This time its for allegedly assaulting Karen “Kitty” Hinson, a courthouse bailiff’s wife, outside a courtroom where Pless just minutes before was placed on probation for communicating threats.
In April of 2014 the unstoppable Billy Pless spoke at a Spencer Borough Alderman’s meeting where he demanded that police officers stop following him. During the same meeting he claimed he had been arrested 132 times since 1982 and felt police were harassing him. Increasing Pless’s legendary criminal status is his being observed motoring down I-85 in an electric wheelchair. During his previous assaults on women Pless is alleged to have popped a pimple on one woman’s face and cut the wart off another.
Pless’s unusual criminal history of assaults, trespasses, threats, disorderly conduct, and much more is partially enshrined in this state offenders list:
