Cary police arrest man in wooded area near I-40

Raleigh, N.C. — Cary police arrested a man Wednesday morning in a wooded area off Interstate 40 near East Chatham Street following a domestic dispute near Cary Towne Boulevard.

Officers initially responded to a domestic assault call on Ivy Lane behind Cary Towne Center about 1 a.m., but police said the man left the scene after assaulting his girlfriend.

After setting up a search area, police surrounded the man in an area with thick brush about 6 a.m. He surrendered to authorities about 7:30 a.m., a Cary town spokesperson said.

It wasn't clear whether the man had any weapons or injuries, and his name was not released. The woman, whose name was also withheld, suffered minor injuries, police said.

No roads were closed while police waited for the man to surrender, but traffic on I-40 was impacted because of the police presence on the shoulder of the highway.

No other information was immediately available.

TeenDad4_WorldTour: "Not to mention the random homicides that the Cary police try to make seem like domestic violence cases by framing innocent people with the help of Wral reporters. Its all an attempt to make Cary seem nice an pleasant so the people and the money keep coming in".

What random homicides are you referring? I sure hope you are not referring to the Brad Cooper case. Remember this: The BC case was circumstantial and was presented as such. A JURY OF 12 CONVICTED HIM ON THE MERITS OF THE CASE PRESENTED! CPD did not convict him..the jury did!! And have you ever thought about the fact that CPD has recently added a cyber crimes unit that actually does what it is paid to do...catch child molesters and child pornographers? You conspiracy theorists are really something!

"Town of Cary 2011 crime statistics should show a decrease of 8% in Part I crimes (violent crimes) as shown in the SBI reporting data (attached). The results shown in the FBI’s preliminary report – that Town of Cary Part I crimes increased 5% -- are inaccurate and are being revised to show the actual statistics for the Town of Cary. The correction will be reflected in the FBI’s final report released in September."
