♦ Darryl Sylvester Price, Jr., wanted by the U.S. Marshalls Service for probation violation, was arrested Wednesday by Rowan County Sheriff’s Office deputies and U.S. Probation Office officers with an alleged struggle at 430 Grim Street in Salisbury’s West End.
Price was originally summoned to the Probation Office, but allegedly failed to report. When he failed to show, Sheriff’s deputies along with U.S. Probation Office officers showed up at Price’s Grim Street address. Price stepped outside and began talking to a Probation Officer. When Price noticed Sheriff’s deputies and other probation agents moving in, he suddenly bolted in the direction of West Monroe Street. During his short flight, he dropped a Smith and Wesson handgun prior to deputies catching up with him when he stumbled and went down on the asphalt in the 1300 block of West Monroe. As he attempted to get back up, he was tazered twice before being handcuffed and hauled to his feet. The handgun later proved to be stolen. Adding to Price’s woes, along with the alleged stolen handgun, was that two grams of “crack” and $570 in cash were allegedly found on his person. Not good for a felon on probation.
Price was charged with resist/delay/obstruct a public officer (misdemeanor), possessing stolen goods (felony), weapon possession by a felon or firearms etc. prohibited (felony), possessing a controlled substance schedule II (felony), and probation violation (misdemeanor).
Under a secured $100,000 bond, Price is being temporarily held in the Rowan County Detention Center.
