Larry Joseph Harwell, 20, of Yancey Street, was arrested Tuesday night on Concord Street and charged with assault with a deadly weapon, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and discharging a firearm within city limits. After his arrest, he was also charged with malicious conduct by a prisoner and resisting a public officer.
He was being held Wednesday in the Durham County jail under a $560,000 bond.
On March 11, police say a 17-year-old, whose name and condition have not been released, was walking with a friend when a green Cadillac Seville occupied by three people pulled up beside them. One of the people talked with the victim before firing one shot.
A short time later, police stopped a vehicle matching the description and arrested two people inside – Shelly Ann Polk, 30, of Cammie Street, and Victor Lavar Brown Jr., 17, of Hardee Street. A third person jumped out and ran from officers, police said.
Officers found two guns in the car.
Brown and Polk were both charged with assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury. Brown was also charged with resisting a public officer and altering/removing a serial number from a firearm. Polk was also charged with being an accessory after the fact.
Both were placed in Durham County jail under $750,000 bonds.
