♦ Seems like last week Johnathan Cory Yarborough, 29, just showed up on the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office’s Most Wanted List and now he’s in the Rowan County Detention Center awaiting trial. Give Yarborough an A for effort. What better place to hide out than in a nest of thieves, murderers on the loose, forked-tongued city councilmen, and the loyal subjects of “King Heroin”: SHOTZBURY AKA Salisbury, N.C. On second thought Yarborough must’ve stuck out with all those facial and neck tats. Those “teardrop” tats generally mean their wearer “wasted” someone inside of prison. Do we have a pretender here?
Yarborough’s string ran out and he was arrested Sunday at 224 Geiger Lane in Salisbury. Allegedly he tried to hide under a bed to elude the deputies, but Yarborough should know better. Under beds and in closets are some of the first places law enforcement officers check. To further compound his troubles Yarborough was alleged to possess a syringe full of heroin and a firearm (felons are not supposed to have these…even in Shotzbury).
Yarborough is charged with resist/delay/obstruct a public officer (misdemeanor), weapons possession by felon of firearms etc. prohibited (misdemeanor), Possession of control substance schedule I (felony), maintain a dwelling/vehicle for controlled substance (misdemeanor), and possession of drug paraphernalia (misdemeanor).
Under a secured $35,000 bond, Yarborough remains in the Rowan County Detention Center.
