A Maiden man is arrested again after an indictment by the Lincoln County Grand jury on additional charges related to sex offenses last April.

53-yeat-old Daniel Ray Harris turned himself in to Lincoln authorities on charges of felony first degree kidnapping, felony sexual activity by a substitute parent and felony child abuse involving a sex act.

He was placed under a 150-thousand dollar unsecured bond, finger printed, and released.

Hickory Police is requesting the public’s help in identifying a second suspect connected to the murder of Andres Moscotte last Thursday.

The surveillance photos released today show a black male wearing a jean jacket, with a dark hood and dark toboggan and wearing khaki pants inside a store.

  

Officials haven’t stated how he may be connected to the case.

Jalen Witherspoon turned himself into authorities Sunday and is being held without bond under first-degree murder charges.

Moscotte was found outside his Hickory residence last week deceased from an apparent gunshot wound.

A domestic dispute in Lincoln County last week left a man injured and facing charges.

Reports say the dispute involved a physical altercation between a woman and her brother at a residence on Finger Merrick Trail.

During the argument, the woman reportedly used a knife in self-defense against her brother who had pushed her down and was trying to strangle her.

36-year-old Stephen Dwayne Gavin was transported by EMS to an area hospital where reports say he underwent surgery for a stab wound.

Gavin was released yesterday and taken into custody by the Lincoln Sheriff’s Office.

He was charged with felony assault by strangulation, assault on a female, and communicating threats.

Gavin was jailed under a 17-thousand-500 dollar secured bond.
