Welcome to Arrest Stories. A twenty-eight-year-old Rocky Mount man was arrested after allegedly livestreaming a police chase on Facebook while throwing narcotics from his vehicle window. Here's what may have happened.
On Saturday, a deputy conducted a traffic stop on Jonathan Kendall Bulluck at thirty-six eighty-four Dunbarton Road in Rocky Mount, North Carolina for an equipment violation. During the stop, a family member approached Bulluck's vehicle. Bulluck then attempted to hand the family member a firearm he had concealed. The deputy ordered the unidentified family member to surrender the weapon, and she immediately complied with the command.
Bulluck then sped away from the traffic stop, initiating a pursuit with the deputy. The chase proceeded down North Carolina Highway ninety-seven to West Tarboro Road into Edgecombe County. During the pursuit, Bulluck reached speeds of eighty miles per hour while allegedly livestreaming portions of the chase on Facebook. Deputies report that Bulluck threw narcotics out of his vehicle window during the pursuit.
The chase continued until the deputy was able to cut off Bulluck at the intersection of Bullock School and Green Pasture roads in Edgecombe County, where Bulluck was taken into custody.
Following his arrest, Bulluck faces multiple felony charges including fleeing to elude arrest with a motor vehicle, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and possession with intent to sell and deliver heroin and fentanyl. He also faces charges for felony possession with intent to sell and deliver methamphetamine and felony malicious conduct by prisoner. Bulluck is being held without bond.
The incident highlights the dangerous combination of high-speed pursuits and social media, as authorities indicate portions of the chase were broadcast live on Facebook. The charges stem from both the pursuit itself and the contraband allegedly discovered during the investigation.
All suspects presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Do not take this report as factual, always verify facts. Thanks for watching Arrest Stories.
