Statesville, North Carolina – November 12, 2023:  On Sunday night, an alert officer with the Statesville Police Department observed a suspicious vehicle in the area of Winston Avenue and 7th Street with construction materials protruding out of the window.  The driver of the vehicle took suspicious actions by stopping on Wilson Lee Blvd., turning off the lights, and exiting the vehicle. The officer approached the driver and a back seat passenger, identified as Reginald Glover, 60, of Statesville.

Aware of an ongoing construction project nearby, the officer, along with assisting officers, inspected the new home under construction in the 1100 block of Wilson Lee Blvd. Matching brand-name construction materials, including vinyl siding, flashing, strips, and trim, were found at the site.  These materials matched those found in the vehicle with Glover.
