On February 28, 2024, the Randolph County Sheriff’s Office conducted a traffic stop on Braxton Craven Rd., Trinity. Upon approach, the driver stated that his license was suspended. As the deputy walked back to his patrol vehicle to conduct routine record checks, the male exited his vehicle. While attempting to detain the male for officer safety, he assaulted the deputy and fled on foot and a chase ensued. Upon apprehension, he was detained and was identified as Casey Jay Bare. During a subsequent search, methamphetamine and paraphernalia were located and he was placed under arrest. During an inventory of the vehicle, a catalytic converter and a financial card not belonging to him were among other items that were located and seized as evidence. During the investigation, it was discovered that Bare had eight outstanding processes; two of which were for fraud-related matters.
