Pittsboro Manager Charged With Resisting Arrest


e-mail print friendly
WRAL News
The Pittsboro town manager was charged Tuesday morning with resisting arrest after a confrontation during a traffic stop, authorities said.

Sam Misenheimer, 42, was pulled over by the state Highway Patrol at about 7:50 a.m. Tuesday after allegedly rolling through a stop sign on Thompson Street, authorities said.

Misenheimer was uncooperative with the trooper, and then it was learned he was driving with a revoked license, authorities said.

After his arrest, he was released on his own recognizance. His court date has been set for April 18.

Misenheimer denies the charges, saying he did not resist arrest and go through a stop sign.

Misenheimer was named Pittsboro town manager last May after having spent five months on the job in an interim role. He has also been the town manager of Thomasville and was the the executive director of operations for Concord. He said despite the legal trouble, he plans on remaining town manager.

>>>She isn't Rev RB. Do you remember the crash on Christmas day >>>that killed several members of a family caused by a speeding >>>driver losing control on Hwy 64?? >>> >>>Spiritwarrior woman is his one woman cheering section, and >>>she calls him a Reverend.

Not true. Spiritwarriorwoman has a nickname, RB. She calls herself a reverend and signs every post, "God Bless, Rev. RB" -- it's her handle.

She never referred to Billy Ray Bullock as a reverend; you assumed that and have been slandering her on the boards ever since. Go back and reread http://www.wral.com/news/local/story/1123629/?d_full_comments=1&d_last_seen_id=3612#first_comment and look at the posts. You misread her signature and assumed she was referring to Mr. Bullock (whose initials are BRB, not RB). If you don't believe me, check any other post by spiritwarriorwoman; she signs them all the same way and you have made her and yourself look foolish by spreading lies.

First, if he has enough points to revoke his license, what kind of example does he set? Do any of you have any idea at all how rare it is to have a license revoked due to points? The way courts give out reductions and dismissals, it would be very, very hard to get that many points, especially for somebody as connected as a TM. A better story would have been that the stalker took the TM's car, got stopped, gave the TM's name and DOB, then failed to show up for court. Then when the notification came in the mail (and thanks to changes, getting the notification isn't an excuse now), the stalker stole it so he wouldn't get it.. Hey, sounds like a totally believable story to me....

Second, I WANNA SEE VIDEO!!!!! I already have popcorn.

Third, I wanna meet this Trooper, 15 feet tall and 500 lbs, I didn't know they made Crown Vics that big.

Last, but not least, Me thinks the TM needs a proofreader..:-))

The town manager probably left out the part of being belligerent, uncooperative and above the law attitude toward the trooper, and blames everything on his "stalker" Here is a clue; get a license and follow the law! I commend the trooper for doing his job and having to put up with people like this.

Isn't it funny that the town managers comments do not allow for public comments. hmmmmmm Well Sam Misenheimer, welcome to the world of the common person. Now, you can empathize with others and realize that sometimes the truth has been told. And what about his license, did the DMV notify him, doubtfully. I want the ending story

I hope they have this on film as well. If the town manager is telling the truth, the trooper should be in BAD TROUBLE!!
