RFP Staff

♦ According to Salisbury Police sources Cedrick Cornell Ross, 34, a felon dwelling at 402 Vance Avenue in Salisbury, was arrested Thursday night after an alleged a high-speed chase across the city that only ended when he slammed his Blue Ford SUV in through the Rufty-Holmes Senior Center Sign at 1120 S. Martin Luther King, Jr. Avenue.  Prior to his high-speed chase and capture by a Salisbury Police officer, Ross was about to be served with outstanding warrants by a Rowan County Sheriff’s Office deputy on Bendix Drive near the Economy Inn at 11 p.m.

Ross, not up for being arrested, floored his Ford SUV and tore off across Salisbury with both Sheriff’s deputies and police officer joining in the break-neck pursuit.  Faith Road, Newsome Road, Longview Avenue went by in a blur.  Crawford Street disappeared in the rearview mirror as Ross’s Ford SUV raced onto Martin Luther King, Jr. Avenue where it eventually lost control and smashed into the Rufty-Holmes Senior Center Sign at 1120 S. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Ross’s alleged misadventure was not over yet.  Fleeing from his SUV, he was tackled by a Salisbury Police Officer and brought to the ground before he was handcuffed. Officers found small amount cocaine on the ground and a stolen gun Ross allegedly attempted to ditch.
