On March 29, 2021, at approximately 7:30pm, the Alamance County Sheriff’s Office identified a vehicle fitting the description of one used in a drive-by shooting in the City of Graham.

On May 2, 2019, the Alamance County Sheriff’s Office and Granville County Sheriff’s Office opened an investigation after a man was found on the side of a road in Granville County. The man claimed to have been assaulted, robbed, kidnapped, and thrown over a bridge near where he was found. 
 
After a thorough investigation, detectives determined the victim was lured to Clover Creek Mobile Home Park by Brittney Darnell, an acquaintance whom the victim had met online. In the home asleep were Darnell’s children and two of her neighbor’s children who were having a sleep over. Two others were in the home as well, Darnell’s boyfriend Samuel Murrell and his friend David Richardson. 
 
Murrell and Richardson were lying in wait in the home. When the victim arrived, they assaulted him with a baseball bat and a tire iron and then robbed him of his valuables. The victim was left with severe lacerations to his head from the beating, and a large amount of blood was found in the home during the investigation. The victim was then bound in duct tape and placed in the back of his own vehicle. Richardson and Murrell drove him to Granville County where they used the victim’s bank card to withdraw cash from an ATM and then drove the victim to a bridge in a rural part of Granville County. Richardson and Murrell then pulled the victim out of the vehicle, still bound, and threw him over the bridge.
 
The victim fell 20 feet into a creek and sustained further life-threatening injuries from the fall. The victim managed to crawl back to the road where he was discovered by a passing off-duty firefighter several hours later. The victim has since made a full recovery from his injuries. All individuals involved were taken into custody within a week of the case being opened.
 
On May 28, 2020, Murrell was sentenced to a maximum 19 years in prison, pleading guilty to attempted murder. On the same date, Richardson was sentenced to a maximum of 24 years and 10 months in prison, also for attempted murder.
 
On March 2, 2021, Darnell plead guilty to first degree kidnapping and was sentenced to a maximum of 8 years and 4 months in prison.
 
All charges were consolidated to Alamance County due to the crime originating in Alamance.

Two Males Charged with Felony Speeding to Elude Arrest

On February 23, 2021, at approximately 9:30pm, officers of the Alamance County Sheriff’s Office attempted to conduct a traffic stop for two drivers on motorcycles speeding on N. Church St. in Burlington.  Neither motorcycle had visible registration plates. 

The drivers did not comply and attempted to flee at a high rate of speed. When the drivers split up, deputies were able to pursue one of the drivers to NC 62 N. to the neighborhood on Hollybrook Dr. where the pursuit ended. The driver, Jacob Porterfield, was taken into custody. 

Alamance County Sheriff’s Office deputies were able to identify the other motorcycle driver, and a warrant was issued for his arrest. On February 25, 2021, Dakota Feurnisen was taken into custody at his home on Blanche Dr. in Burlington, NC. 

Both suspects were charged with a felony speeding to elude arrest, and given $2500 unsecured bonds.  Both of the motorcycles were seized pursuant to the North Carolina “Run and You’re Done” law in which vehicles used by suspects to flee from law enforcement can be seized and auctioned. The proceeds from the auction are given to the North Carolina Public School System.
