Suspicious Activities Unveiled by Surveillance Footage

On a fateful Sunday, a Deputy promptly responded to a report of a suspicious person on Harris Bridge Road. Upon arrival, the officer engaged in a conversation with the concerned homeowner, and together they meticulously reviewed the captured surveillance footage. The footage confirmed their suspicions – a chainsaw had been pilfered from the property.

Intensive Search and Apprehension

Deputies immediately initiated a thorough search of the surrounding area. During the search, they discovered a siphon hose and a gas can that the suspect had been utilizing to siphon gas from vehicles on the premises. Recognizing the gravity of the situation, the Aggressive Criminal Enforcement (ACE) Team Deputies and the North Carolina State Highway Patrol promptly joined forces and established a well-coordinated perimeter. To enhance the search operation, the Sheriff’s Office Drone Unit was deployed, while Sergeant Hodges strategically deployed a highly trained K9 officer to track down the suspect.

As the K9 officer closed in on the suspect’s location, deputies spotted Jacob Lloyd Fountain emerging from a wooded area on Harris Bridge Road. Swiftly and efficiently, the officers apprehended Fountain. The K9 officer successfully located the stolen property in the adjacent wooded area, strengthening the case against the suspect.

Jacob Lloyd Fountain now finds himself confined within the walls of the Iredell County Detention Center, as he was unable to secure the $12,500 bond required for his release. As of today, he remains in custody, awaiting his upcoming District Court appearance scheduled for February 7.
