Suspects wanted in connection with attempted murder of deputy in custody
THE AFTERNOONS WILL TALK ABOUT
WHO COULD SEE SOME 80'S HERE IN
JUST A FEW MINUTES. ALL RIGHT.
THANKS, ANTHONY. 2 MEN ARE
BEHIND BARS TONIGHT AFTER A
MANHUNT IN FRANKLIN COUNTY.
NOW COURT DOCUMENTS SHOW THE
MEN ARE WANTED IN CONNECTION
WITH AN ATTEMPTED MURDER OF
A SHERIFF'S DEPUTY. WRAL'S
WILL. AGAIN, ALI IS LIVE IN
LEWISBURG WITH MORE WILLING.
>> JULIAN, I SPOKE TO PEOPLE
HERE IN FRANKLIN COUNTY TODAY
AND THEY TELL ME IT'S TYPICALLY
VERY QUIET HERE. THAT'S WHY A
LARGE MANHUNT INVOLVING SEVERAL
DIFFERENT LAW ENFORCEMENT
AGENCIES TOOK THE AREA BY
SURPRISE.
>> ARMED AND DANGEROUS. THOSE
ARE THE 2 WORDS FRANKLIN COUNTY
SHERIFF KEVIN WHITE USED TO
DESCRIBE 19 YEAR-OLD THURMAN
HENDERSON, AN 18 YEAR-OLD
MALACHI. JOHAN TAYLOR, BOTH
WERE ARRESTED ON SATURDAY IN
A FACEBOOK POST, SHERIFF WHITE
SAID IN PART, MAY THEY BE
PUNISHED TO THE HIGHEST DEGREE
AVAILABLE? THIS IS BUT ANOTHER
EXAMPLE OF HOW DANGEROUS THIS
PROFESSION CAN BE. TAYLOR HAS
BEEN CHARGED WITH ATTEMPTED
FIRST-DEGREE MURDER OF CORPORAL
BENSE POLICE. HENDERSON HAS
BEEN CHARGED AS AN ACCESSORY
AND ALSO WITH RESISTING AN
OFFICER AND FLEEING ARREST.
THE COURT DOCUMENTS STATE THAT
TAYLOR AND HENDERSON WERE
INVOLVED IN A CHASE WITH CORPUS
POLICE ON NC 56 AFTER SUISSE
ATTEMPTED TO CONDUCT A TRAFFIC
STOP. THE DOCUMENTS SAY THEY
FLED THE SCENE. ANDERSON WAS
LAST SEEN ON MULTAN ROAD.
PEOPLE LIVING ALONG THAT ROAD
TOLD ME IT WAS A SHOCK TO SEE
THE MANHUNT TAKING PLACE ON
THE QUIET COUNTRY STREET.
>> I REACHED OUT TO THE
FRANKLIN COUNTY SHERIFF'S
OFFICE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE
SUSPECTS AND WHAT LED UP TO
THEIR ARREST. AS OF NOW, BOTH
HENDERSON AND BEHIND BARS BEING
PROCESSED AS OF NOW, NO BOND
