A Hickory man out on bond after being charged breaking into vehicles in Iredell County in April was tracked by Iredell Canine Officer “Levi” and arrested again Thursday morning.

Iredell County Sheriff’s Office Patrol Deputies responded to the 100-block of Stonefield Drive, west of Statesville, in reference to a motor vehicle break-in in progress.

When the deputies arrived, they quickly established a perimeter and attempted to locate the suspect.

A suspicious vehicle was sighted traveling in the area at high speed. The vehicle was stopped near the 1200 block of Old Mountain Road. The driver jumped from the vehicle and fled on foot.

Canine “Levi,” tracked the suspect over one mile into a wooded area where 28-year old Kentrel Antwain Overton was captured.

Overton was arrested and transported to the Iredell County Detention Center, where he was charged with Felony Flee to Elude Arrest with a Motor Vehicle, Two Counts of Felony Conspiracy, Two Counts of Misdemeanor Attempt Breaking and Entering to a Motor Vehicle, Misdemeanor Careless and Reckless Driving, Misdemeanor Speeding Excess 15 over, Misdemeanor Driving While License Revoked, Misdemeanor Resist, Obstruct and Delay, Misdemeanor Injury to Personal Property.
