Traffic stops lead to pair of arrests

A pair of drivers were charged with offenses by Henry County Sheriff?s deputies following traffic stops last weekend.

Deputies stopped Terrance Wilson, 19, of Burlington, on Friday, March 18, near the intersection of U.S. Highway 34 and Nebraska Avenue.

Wilson was stopped for speeding. He subsequently was arrested and charged with driving under suspension, speeding and possession of alcohol under legal age, all simple misdemeanors.

Deputies also stopped Dalton McKeown, 20, of Salem, on Saturday, March 19, for a speeding violation near the intersection of Oakland Mills Road and 250th Street.

McKeown was arrested and charged with driving while barred, aggravated misdemeanor; driving under suspension and speeding, simple misdemeanors.

A criminal charge is merely an accusation and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
