Sheriff Darren Campbell stated: On Friday, July 31, 2020, Sergeant L. Hayes and Deputy C. Moncus assigned to the Iredell County Sheriff’s Office Aggressive Criminal Enforcement (ACE) Team attempted to stop a Chevrolet truck on Midway Road in Stony Point after the vehicle nearly struck the deputies head on.

The vehicle fled from deputies at a high rate of speed through Stony Point before coming to a stop at the dead end of Harris Street just inside Alexander County. The driver, Thomas Branson, got out of the vehicle, and was taken into custody without incident.

Thomas Jackson Branson and the truck were searched after his arrest. The two deputies located Crystal Methamphetamine packaged for sale, and other items of drug paraphernalia.
