An 18-year-old was charged in Craven County with the murder of his grandfather.
Around 11:45 p.m. Monday, the Craven County Sheriff’s Office says they were called to a reported assault at a home on Sydney Road.
Dispatchers told deputies that the suspect had left the home.
While on their way to the residence, deputies spotted a car matching the one driven by the suspect and pulled it over on Highway 55 near Wetherington Farm Road.
Deputies arrested the driver, Derrick White.
When law enforcement got to the Sydney Road home, they found 77-year-old Anthony White dead from multiple stab wounds. They charged Derrick White with his murder, and they believe he also assaulted his grandmother.
