Sheriff Darren Campbell stated: On Monday, May 2, 2022, the Iredell County Sheriff’s Office responded to a residence on Peridot Drive in western Iredell County in reference to a breaking and entering report where several firearms were said to have been taken from an outbuilding. 

When the responding deputies arrived they quickly determined the suspect had entered the outbuilding without using force. They also learned the spare keys for the building were also missing. The case was assigned to Detective J. Adams for additional investigation.

Detective Adams interviewed the victims along with witnesses in the area. Detective Adams gathered the homeowners were having the residence remodeled. During the remodel, several workers who had access to the building had learned of the firearms stored in it. 

Through additional evidence gathered in the investigation, Detective Adams determined one of the workers, Bradford Kyle Bowlin who is on probation and he was also wearing a court-ordered ankle monitor. 

Detective Adams was able to gain access to Bowlin’s ankle monitor location information. The data indicated Bowlin had stolen the firearms and then went to another location where he sold the guns. Detective Adams was able to recover two of the guns which will be returned to the victim.

Based on this evidence, Detective Adams was able to receive Felony Arrest Warrants on Bowlin for Felony Breaking and Entering, Felony Larceny after Breaking and Entering, and Felony Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon. On Thursday, May 12, 2022, Bradford Kyle Bowlin was arrested by members of the Iredell County Warrant Squad.

Bowlin appeared before Magistrate T. Thompson who issued Bowlin a 30,000.00 dollar secured bond. Bowlin was also served with a Felony Probation Violation Warrant and received an additional 10,000.00 dollar secured bond on this charge.
