ROWAN COUNTY, N.C. — Two men are facing multiple charges, including violating the stay-at-home order, after deputies said they broke into someone’s truck and stole a six-pack of Coca-Cola Thursday evening outside a Rowan County business.

At around 9:30 p.m., deputies were called to a business on West “C” Street, in Kannapolis after someone told them that a man was spotted going through a truck. The victim said that some clothing and a six-pack of Coca-Cola was stolen.

When deputies got there, they said they spotted 24-year-old Christian Tyler Foster and 26-year-old Kenyaata Evans Thompson walking in the area and when the men saw the patrol cars pulling up, they took off running.
