BY ELIOT DUKE
Staff Writer
A pair of Lexington men are fac
ing more than three dozen charges
involving breaking and entering.
According to a Davidson County
■ Sheriff’s Office press release, Mat
thew Tyler Rowland, of 967 Gray
Road Lot 8 in Lexington, and Dan
iel Aden English, of 174 Lee Smith
Road in Lexington, were arrested
and charged with more than a
dozen counts each following an in
vestigation by the DCSO Breaking
and Entering Task Force.
Rowland is charged with six
counts of larceny, four counts of
injury to personal property, four
counts of obtaining property by

English is facing seven counts of
larceny, four counts of obtaining
property by false pretenses, three
counts of injury to personal prop

enterihg and three counts of first
degree trespassing.
“They were involved in small lar
cenies involving metal and batter
ies from cars and tractors,” Sheriff
David Grice said. “WhUe the larce
nies were small, they involved a lot
of victims. Detectiyes worked with
local recyclers for a few weeks get
ting Information.”
DCSO deputies began investi
gating cases of breaking and en
tering, larceny and property dam
age on Nov. 16 at several locations
in Thomasville, Lexington and
Southmont. Deputies developed
leads at MJ’s Core & Scrap Metal
Recycling, where some of the sto
len items were located, and ob
tained statements which led to the
charges on the two suspects.
“The items stolen led us to be
lieve it was all related,” said Grice.
“When detectives got to interview
ing the guys, they were very forth
coming.”
Rowland and English were is
sued $30,000 and $75,000 bonds,
respectively, and are scheduled to

RAID
From page'
“Our undercovers were
in there buying drugs
from patrons, employees,
bartenders and security
guys,” said Smith. “We
had active warrants on
around 18 people prior
to the search warrant.
We recovered a smaR
amount of cocaine that
was dropped on the floor.
We picked up everyone
we had warrants on.
When people over there
got comfortable with our
undercover guys, they
were buying from all
sorts of people. We de
tained between 50 and 60
people before we sorted
them aU out.”
Smith said La Estral-
las, which opened in
2008, will probably lose
its ABC permits but
will not be immediately
forced to close down.
“According to [Alcohol
Law Enforcement] there
has to be a process before
they can be shut down,”
Smith said. “Until they
yank the permits, [Or-
nelas-Miranda] can open
up tonight, if he’s out of
jan.”
TPD worked with
Asheboro Police 'De
partment, Alcohol Law
Enforcement (ALE) and
Immigration and Cus
toms Enforcement on an
undercover campaign
for several months lead
ing up to Friday night’s
raid.

“The pole is gone,” said
TFD Capt. Scott Ragan.
“It’s totally cut in two. It’s
just hanging there free.
It’s a hazard, so we had
to block off this whole

BOARD
From page 1
ness owners, an expertise
Watford says wlU help
commissioners in the job
hunt.
“It helps with recruit
ment and knowing what
it takes to survive in this
county,” he said. “It gives
you a little different per
spective, it really does.”
Aside from economic
development, Watford’s
new title presents him
with the challenges to be
come the board’s official
spokesperson, stepping
out into the limelight
and representing the
county. Such public ap
pearances might be hard
for him, not only because
he works full-time during
the day but also because
it’s a role he’s not accus
tomed to filling.
“That-is a big part of
this job, representing
the county in the public
eye,” Watford said. “Run
ning the meetings is the
easy part. I’ve done that
before. Representing the
county in the public eye,
that’s the hard part.”
Yates, who has attended
board meetings as an au
dience member since his
election Nov. 2, seemed
excited and a bit nervous
to take his official seat
at the front of the room.
But he says he’s eager to
get his feet wet.
“It feels good,” Yates
said. “We’re working in
the right direction.' I’m
looking forward to work
ing with these guys, and
I think we’ve got a lot of
good things coming out
soon.”
Also at the meeting,
commissioners recog
nized county staff who
have served for five
years or more. Mary
Ann Brown, head of the
Recreation Department
and also involved in Spe
cial Olympics of David
son County, received an
award for her 35 years of
service, the longest pe
riod of any current em
ployee.
“Thank you aU for your
service,” Watford told
the employees after aU
had been recognized. “I
know it’s been rough on
everybody the past year.
I know it’s going to get
better.”
