From the Belhaven Police Department

 

On the night of Sept. 5, an altercation took place in Belhaven involving numerous suspects. After a short investigation, warrants were taken out on Sept. 6 for the following individuals: Antonio Smith, charged with assault on a female, pattern gang activity, assault and battery, and breaking and entering to terrorize; Isiah Peele, charged with assault on female, pattern gang activity, and assault and battery; Kaeauna Peterson, charged with assault and battery, pattern gang activity, and breaking and entering to terrorize; Kentrell Washington, charged with assault on a female, pattern gang activity, assault and battery, and breaking and entering to terrorize; Moniqueya Jennette, charged with assault and battery, pattern gang activity, and breaking and entering to terrorize; Patrick Moore Jr., assault on a female, pattern gang activity, assault and battery, and breaking and entering to terrorize; Shawn Flynn, charged with pattern gang activity, assault and battery, and breaking and entering to terrorize; Tony Peele Jr., charged with assault on a female, pattern gang activity, assault and battery, and breaking and entering to terrorize; Trinity S. Whitney, charged with assault and battery, pattern gang activity, and breaking and entering to terrorize; Tyree Blunt, charged with pattern gang activity, assault and battery, and breaking and entering to terrorize.

On the morning of Sept. 7, the Belhaven Police Department and the Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office conducted an operation, which resulted in the arrests of these individuals.

I would like to thank Sheriff E. Coleman, his staff and deputies for assisting my officers in this task. This operation would have been difficult for any small agency. Not only did the Sheriff’s Office agree to participate without hesitation on a holiday, they brought to bear the full resources (i.e. man and material) necessary to do the job right.
