Charged with Felony Assault, Robbery |
| |
 |
Detectives arrested a
28-year-old Valdese man Saturday for allegedly hitting a Lenoir man with a beer
bottle and robbing him afterward.
Timothy Wayne Poole (left) of 1272 Margaret Street was arrested and charged
with assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury, and robbery with a
dangerous weapon.
The Burke County Sheriff's Office received a
call |
around 3 a.m. Saturday from Larry Dwayne Baker, 28, of
Lenoir. Deputies responded and found Baker sitting in his car along John Berry
Road near Drexel. |
| |
| Baker told deputies he had given Poole a ride
home from a bar in Morganton. During the ride, Poole reportedly asked Baker to
pull off of the road so he could relieve himself. |
| |
| As both men stepped from the vehicle, Poole
allegedly struck Baker in the head with the beer bottle and began kicking him
in the face. Baker said Poole took his (Baker's) wallet containing
approximately $250 and a compact disc carrying case and left the
scene. |
| |
| Poole was found passed out on Amherst Road with
the compact disc case in his possession, a detective said. Baker was
treated and released at Valdese Hospital for injuries to his head and
nose. |
| |
| Poole was jailed under a $25,000 secured bond
and has a first court appearance today. |
