The Rowan County Sheriff’s Office is asking for the public’s help in identifying two women in connection with a reported shoplifting incident in Salisbury.

A larceny investigation escalated into a dangerous confrontation Thursday afternoon when a suspect allegedly attempted to draw weapons on deputies, according to the Davie County Sheriff's Office.

A routine traffic stop in the early morning hours of February 5, 2026, led to the arrest of two women on multiple charges, including identity theft and outstanding warrants from neighboring counties, according to the Davie County Sheriff's Office.

A Salisbury man has been arrested and charged following a months-long investigation into a reported sexual assault involving a minor.

 An officer-involved shooting in Hickory on Sunday morning left a 35-year-old man hospitalized and triggered an independent investigation by state authorities.
