Today, Sheriff Campbell had the opportunity to attend the ribbon cutting ceremony for the new and improved Perquimans-Gates 911 Center!

Using funds provided by the state, the old center was able to be reimagined into a more modern and updated facility!

These updates ensure that the 911 Telecommunicators have a well outfitted center to support our first responders and you! We appreciate all you guys do for our community and for our responders daily!

We also extend a special shoutout to Perquimans County Emergency Management Director Jonathan Nixon for seeing that this project was completed!

Yesterday morning, shortly after 5:00am, deputies were dispatched to a residence in Gates in reference to a breaking and entering in progress.

On arrival, deputies cleared the residence and searched the area for the offender. However, the suspect fled prior to law enforcement’s arrival on scene. Deputies were able to quickly identify the suspect as Devonte Wilson.

Shortly after fleeing the scene, Wilson was able to be safely apprehended with the assistance of the Down East Drug and Violent Crime Task Force, and the North Carolina Department of Adult Corrections Special Operations and Intelligence Unit (SOIU).

Wilson was charged with (F) Break/Enter to Terrorize/Injure, (M) Domestic Criminal Trespass, (M) Assault with a Deadly Weapon, (M) Communicating Threats , and (M) Assault on a Female. Wilson is currently being held without bond.

We extend a big “Thank you!” To our area partners for their assistance today!
