The Bladen County Sheriff’s Office arrested one man during which a struggle ensued leaving deputies and the man with minor injuries.
“We received information that a wanted individual was being brought through our county by a family member en-route to Sanford,” said Chief Deputy Larry Guyton. Deputies obtained a description of the vehicle and waited for it in Clarkton.
“When they saw the vehicle, they did a felony vehicle stop and got Divine Walden, age 22, of 818 Farmers Union Road, Clarkton, out of the vehicle. When they placed him under arrest he began to fight the deputies,” said Guyton.
After a brief struggle Walden was handcuffed and subdued. Walden was treated at Bladen County Hospital for cuts and scrapes. Deputies Jason Andrews and Reese Daniels were also treated for minor injuries and released, according to Guyton.
Walden was served with felony warrants from Durham County for failure to appear on charges of identity theft, receiving stolen goods, financial card theft, and obtaining property by false pretense. He was also served with two felony warrants from Columbus County for felonious breaking and entering and felonious larceny and misdemeanor warrants from Columbus County for failure to appear on speeding and driving while license revoked. He was also charged in Bladen County with two counts of resisting a public officer and two counts of assault on a government official. His bond was set at $83,000.00 secured.
