TAYLORSVILLE, N.C. — The North Carolina State Highway Patrol has charged a police sergeant in Taylorsville after an accident last month involving his police cruiser.
That accident happened along Highway 16 South in Taylorsville, causing more than $1,000 in damage to the officer’s car.
Sgt. Carson Fleming is charged with failure to report the accident and making a false report; both are misdemeanors.
The police chief says the officer did make an internal report and attempted to report the accident to the highway patrol.
He is calling the charges a “procedural misunderstanding regarding the timing or specific reporting requirements under the law.”
