Welcome to Arrest Stories. A woman has been arrested in Wadesboro on charges including attempted first-degree murder after allegedly driving into a crowd of fifty people, injuring five individuals. Heres what may have happened.
Police in Wadesboro, North Carolina arrested Jamya Funderburk during a traffic stop on Friday. The arrest stems from an incident that occurred in November when Funderburk allegedly drove her vehicle into a crowd of fifty people.
The incident began when Albemarle Police were responding to a shots fired call in the area of Coggins Avenue. During this response, Funderburk allegedly drove into the crowd, injuring five people. One victim sustained severe injuries including a broken femur, pelvis and leg. Following the incident, Funderburk failed to stop at the scene.
After the November incident, Albemarle Police Chief Ryan Manley posted on social media seeking information about Funderburk's whereabouts. The case progressed through the legal system, and in December, Funderburk was indicted on an attempted first-degree murder charge.
The charges against Funderburk include attempted first-degree murder, assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, assault inflicting serious bodily injury, and felony hit and run causing serious injury or death. These charges reflect the serious nature of the allegations and the injuries sustained by the victims.
The arrest took place during what authorities described as a routine traffic stop in Wadesboro. The timing between the November incident and Friday's arrest indicates law enforcement had been actively seeking Funderburk for several weeks following the alleged crime.
The incident highlights the dangerous intersection of an already volatile situation, with police initially responding to reports of shots fired, and the subsequent vehicle incident that injured multiple people. The severity of the injuries, particularly the victim who suffered multiple broken bones, underscores the serious nature of the charges filed against Funderburk.
