♦ On Saturday Dustin Steven Perkins, 32, from Wilkesboro, N.C. brought his act to Salisbury and allegedly got into trouble with the law.
On Saturday he allegedly battled with a woman, placing her in a headlock and punching her in the face repeatedly with his fist. Later it is said he tried his luck at Novant Health Rowan Regional Medical Center where he allegedly gave a false social security number to evade a hospital bill for treatment. When the Salisbury Police questioned Perkins about his identity, he allegedly gave a false name and birthdate. Adding to his mounting woes with the law, Perkins allegedly created a public disturbance by yelling profanities at the police and Medical Center staff.
Perkins was charged with identity theft (felony), resist/delay/obstruct a public officer (misdemeanor), assault on a female (misdemeanor), and engaging in fighting in public (misdemeanor).
Under no bond, Perkins is being held at the Rowan County Detention Center. His first hearing is on Tuesday April the 19th.
