POSSIBLE BREAKING, ENTERING
Couple ends up in jail

LINCOLNTON -- Police responding to a call at 181 A Street were originally called out to a breaking, entering in progress.

And while they heard sounds of people moving furniture inside the residence, they soon discovered it wasn't a breaking and entering; instead, they discovered a Lincolnton man violating an active domestic violence protection order.

The incident unfolded around 10 a.m. Sunday, when police surrounded the home of Misty Webb. According to officer Billy Burgin, he knocked on the front door of the residence.

Webb, 26, told Burgin tht nobody broke into the residence. After further questioning, Webb also told Burgin that Chad Lattimore, 36, wasn't at the residence.

Burgin's report indicated Webb gave officers consent to search the residence. Authorities found Lattimore hiding in a bedroom closet.

The domestic violence protection order -- commonly referred to as a "50-B" order -- stated Lattimore couldn't be around Webb or her residence. It's not known when Webb took the order out against Lattimore.

Misty Webb was charged with aiding and abeting and resisting arrest. She was taken to the Harven A. Crouse Detention Center under a $1,000 secured bond. Lattimore, 36, of 218 S. Government Street, was charged with violating the 50-B order. He was held in jail without bond. Both have been released as of Tuesday.
