Former Robeson Detective Charged With Kidnapping

POSTED: 2:20 pm EDT August 18, 2005

ROBESON COUNTY, N.C. -- A former Robeson County sheriff's detective already accused of staging a drug raid has been indicted on additional charges of kidnapping and robbery for a similar incident.

Vincent Sinclair, 42, and four other men have been charged in a fake drug raid in Maxton in May 2004.

Several people were held at gunpoint while the men searched the house, according to the state Department of Justice. An undetermined amount of cash and valuables were stolen.

Vehicles and equipment from the Robeson County Sheriff's Office were used in the crime, according to the SBI.

Sinclair and three of the men face similar charges for an incident from December 2003. The men kidnapped and beat Darius Bain before releasing him after a $150,000 ransom was paid, according to investigators.

Sinclair worked with the sheriff's department for 10 years, most recently as a detective in the juvenile task force division. He was fired soon after he was arrested in May.

There was a good story on the news here yesterday...

A couple cops reported to a Domestic Dispute where some asian guy was chasing his cousin around the house with a large knife. The fast and the furious reportedly turned and headed at the cops with the knife, so the cops shot him dead. Somehow, and details are still unknown exactly how, one of the bulletts managed to pass through a wall or door or something and kill the cousin that was being attacked too.

That's what I call handling a Domestic Dispute. You show up, you shoot both parties dead, case closed. :thumb:
