By Jon Mayhew [LINCOLNTON] – An officer on routine patrol Saturday morning stops three people and discovers two of them have weapons and a stolen radio.

According to officer Mark Sain, the incident started unfolding around 3am on Salem Church Road near Dale Avenue.

“I was on routine patrol when I saw the three walking down the road,” said Sain.

While talking with the suspects, Sain noticed 19-year-old Brad Shaw was armed with a hatchet and holding something under his sweatshirt.

“It turned out to be a radio that Shaw claimed came from behind his father’s residence,” said Sain. “We went to the father’s house as part of the investigation.”

The father, identified in Sain’s report as Jeffrey Black – said his 19-year-old hadn’t lived at his residence in two months. Police checked the building where Shaw said he got the radio but nothing was missing.

Black had also changed the combination lock on his building after his son left.

After discovering the combination lock had been changed, Shaw admitted the radio came from a vehicle broken into on Woolie Road.

Sheriff’s deputies charged Shaw and his brother, Logan, with breaking into the vehicle. Officer Sain charged Brad Shaw with carrying a concealed weapon and possession of stolen property. Bond was set at $11,500 secured.

Logan Shaw, meantime, was charged with carrying a concealed weapon and taken to jail under a $10,500 secured bond.
