Iredell Woman Charged With Stealing Gun, Jewelry In Mooresville

MOORESVILLE, NC — An Iredell County woman is behind bars and facing a laundry list of felony charges stemming from the theft of a pistol and jewelry from a Mooresville home last weekend.

According to the Iredell County Sheriff’s Office, the theft occurred Aug. 24 in a home on Kendra Drive in Mooresville during a sale of items initiated online.

The victim told deputies that he had communicated online with the suspect, who was identified as Ginger Marie Hall, 38, of Statesville. Accompanied by a man, Hallarrived at the Mooresville home for the transaction, and then asked if she could use the victim’s restroom. She was “allowed into the home and left unattended,” before she emerged from the home and loaded up a piece of furniture into her vehicle, ICSO said.

“The victim soon noticed a jewelry box which had been gone through and then noticed a pistol was also missing,” ICSO said. He reported the theft to authorities and was able to describe Hall, the man accompanying her as well as their vehicle.

As the man filed the report with deputies, ICSO received a call reporting a suspicious vehicle on Little Creek Road which matched the vehicle description associated with the Kendra Drive theft report.

A responding deputy checking out the vehicle spotted a black pistol in plain view that matched the description of the reportedly stolen gun. The sheriff’s office obtained a search warrant searched the vehicle. Inside it, deputies found several pieces of jewelry, cocaine, drug paraphernalia, as well as confirmed that the weapon was the stolen pistol.

Deputies later received a tip about Hall’s whereabouts and took her into custody without incident during a vehicle traffic stop.

Hall was arrested and charged with felony larceny of a firearm; felony possession of a firearm by a convicted felon; misdemeanor larceny; felony possession of cocaine; felony maintaining a vehicle for the use of a controlled substance; misdemeanor possession of a Schedule IV controlled substance (Clonazepam); and two counts of misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia. Her secured bond was set at $60,000.
