SALISBURY - A woman who was mopping the floor at the Rushco, 929 south Jake Alexander Boulevard, looked up from here work early Thursday morning to find a mostly naked man standing in front of the window.

The woman says the man, who she described as white, about 5'8" and overweight, was only wearing white shoes and had what looked like a black shirt in his mouth. 

The woman turned to grab her phone and call 911, but when she turned back the man was gone.

The incident was reported just after 2:30 am.  Anyone with information is asked to call police or Salisbury-Rowan Crime Stoppers at 1-866-639-5245.

SALISBURY - Sgt. Amerson of the Rowan County Sheriff's Office thought something looked a little strange.  He saw a scooter moving along with traffic on W. Innes at about 35 miles an hour.  The problem was that the scooter wasn't on W. Innes Street.  It was on the sidewalk.

Sgt. Amerson said the scooter, and it's driver, Gussie Lee Jeter, Jr., 47, stayed on the sidewalk for at least a block, then Jeter swerved into oncoming traffic.  Amerson said he saw several drivers swerve to get out of the way of Jeter, and that Jeter then made his boldest move; swerving across four lanes of traffic without even turning his head or looking to see if the coast was clear.

Sgt. Amerson then turned on his blue lights to get Jeter to stop,which he did, at the intersection of W. Innes St.

SALISBURY - Police officers often have highly trained noses.  They can recognize the smell of illegal drugs, a recently fired gun, or in this case, cologne.

According to a report at the Salisbury Police Department, that highly trained sense sniffed out drug charges for Dustin Stirewalt, 20, of Grace Church Road.

Police were helping with a traffic checkpoint in China Grove on Highway 29 on Saturday night.  When Stirewalt drove up, SPD Officer J. R. Cable noticed "the strong odor of freshly sprayed cologne."  Cable searched the car and discovered marijuana and pills.

Stirewalt was charged with three counts of drug possession and placed in jail on $5000 bond.  He has since been released on bond.
