At the home page, mouse over the News link and select Perquimans JACKSON Continued from 1 ing to N.C. Public Safety records, Jackson was con victed in Perquimans in May 2007 of simple assault and communicating threats. He also was convicted in Dare County in 2016 of accessing a computer without proper authority. He was sentenced to probation for both con victions. During the trial Det. Awad said he was out at that time responding for a request to check on somebody’s well being. He saw the black SUV with what he called a “cereal box” for a license place with black letters on it. It was clearly not a state-issued tag, and there was nothing on it to indicate what state is was from. He said he didn’t know who he was pulling over at the time until he approached the vehicle and recognized Jackson. “He (Jackson) said, ‘I don’t have time for this, hur ry up’ and he was fidgeting,” Awad testified. Jackson told the officer he had a gun in the car and he didn’t want to go in his pocket to get his driver’s li cense. By that point Sgt. Lynch had pulled up behind Det. Awad’s unmarked vehicle and Lynch went to Jackson’s car and got the pistol from the front seat of Jackson’s vehicle. Jackson gave his permission. At one point Awad said he saw some silver hand cuffs in the Jackson vehicle. He asked about them and Jackson said he had them because he was a “bounty hunter.” Awad testified that in North Carolina, only a li censed bail bondsman could act as a bounty hunter. Awad said he did run what was entered on the card- board plate into the system and it came back with no matches in North Carolina. But later using the Perqui mans 911 Dispatch center, the numbers did come back valid in Virginia. Jackson said he was afraid when he saw Sgt. Webb take Jackson’s pistol out of the holster and turn his back on Jackson. “That scared the living guts out of me. I feared for my life.” Jackson also testified that he knew Webb from the past and they always had a great relationship. Awad said it is policy to run the serial numbers of any weapon to make sure it wasn’t stolen. Awad’s case was Jackson was hostile during the pro cess. “He said he was a city councilman and he didn’t have to go back to his ve hicle,” Awad said. Jackson was cursing and said Awad would be fired. “He told me I was going to lose my job.” Jackson went on to say that arrest didn’t matter to him and he listed the num ber of cases he’s had ex punged, Awad said. On cross-examination, Jackson asked Awad about what he saw the “tag” and questioned other aspects on Awad’s testimony. Jackson asked if the town’s policy was to fully search a per son being arrested. Awad said he did do a basic “pat down” of Jackson but not a full search. Jackson said when he was fully searched he had three cell phones a pocket knife on him. Jackson told the judge that as a council member it was his job to “supervise” the town’s employees “The way the town char ter is written the board can supervise our officers,” Jackson said. He said that didn’t go as far as telling an officer to arrest somebody, but to “su pervise.” “I am able to supervise any officer,” Jackson said. And Jackson admits “I don’t have a good rapport with the police depart ment.” At one point Jackson wanted to show cell phone video on his phone of the arrest and the judge said he would let the prospector a chance to look at it first. In the end the prosecutor said if the video was included as evidence and if Jackson ap pealed the case, the phone would remain as evidence until the case got to supe rior court. “I want to make sure it’s not altered in any way,” Judge Barnes said. At the point Jackson told the judge he did not want the phone entered into evi dence. In court Wednesday were Mayor Horace Reid and Mayor Pro-Tem Archie Aples. Neither offered any comment after the ruling. PcuiadUe Pet ^eu^tt A luxury boarding experience Visit our website or come by for a tour of our new state-of-the-art facility Paradise.

POSTMASTER: Send address changes to The Perquimans Weekly, Hertford, NC 27944 is Perquimans and Chowan counties. “Our work really involves preserving the agricultural land of the counties, and in doing that we help agriculture and the community to work to improve water quality. It’s in the best interest of every body, not just the farmers.” Some of that is how to control the algal blooms. They are the result of an ex cess of nutrients (particular ly phosphorus and nitrogen) that gets into water. At high er concentrations, the nutri ents cause increased growth of algae and green plants. The Chowan River had sev eral algae blooms last sum mer as did parts of the Little River and Perquimans River and Albemarle Sound. “There is a lot more re search that is being done. The long term solution is to prevent it” Planting cover crops like clover may be able to help because they absorb the nu trients.
