A man from Manteo was arrested in connection with an incident involving shots being fired in a Roanoke Island neighborhood over the weekend.
Authorities responded to a 911 call Saturday around 9:30 p.m. on Amanda Street, where one person had allegedly fired a gun at two others. No injuries were reported.
The suspect fled the scene, and an extensive search by multiple agencies was initiated. He was eventually located in Kill Devil Hills and taken into custody Sunday afternoon without incident.
Trystan Robert Wiley Beacham, 22, of Manteo, was charged with two counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, assault by pointing a gun and discharge of a firearm in a prohibited location.
Beacham was booked into the Dare County Detention Center. Bond was set at $20,000.
The measure introduced in the North Carolina House of Representatives on Thursday would reopen a lab in Nags Head closed earlier this decade that tests samples from area waters for shellfish sanitation and recreational quality.
Federal officials now say 35 cases of salmonella poisoning dating back to November are blamed on eggs from Rose Acre Farms in Hyde County that were recalled last month.
Firefighters were dispatched to the home on Ralph Lane on Roanoke Island at 5:47 p.m. Wednesday. No one was home at the time, and the cause of the fire is still being investigated.
