Stolen License Plate Leads to Arrest of Suspected U.S. Army Fugitive

Military deserter from Fort Bragg

Last week, deputies in the Davidson County Sherriff’s Office stopped Chadwick Alton Lewis, 37 on North NC Hwy 150 for driving with a stolen license plate. 

The suspect was arrested when the deputies discovered Lewis was wanted by the U.S. Army for being a military deserter out of Fort Bragg. No information was given on how long Lewis was on the Army wanted list.

Lewis was also charged with misdemeanor possession of stolen goods and displaying a fictitious registration plate.
