    A Rocky Mount man was arrested Saturday for allegedly taking deputies on a chase and tossing narcotics out the window, all while livestreaming on social media. 

    According to the Nash County Sheriff’s Office, a traffic unit deputy conducted a traffic stop on Dunbarton Road in Rocky Mount for an equipment violation.

    During the stop, the office said that the driver, 28-year-old Jonathan Kendall Bulluck, attempted to hand a family member a firearm he had concealed. The deputy ordered the unidentified family member to surrender the firearm, which she immediately complied with. 

    Bulluck then fled the traffic stop and took the deputy on a car chase down N.C. Highway 97 to West Tarboro Road into Edgecombe County. During the pursuit, he allegedly reached speeds of 80 miles per hour and tossed packaged narcotics out the window during the chase. 

    When the chase reached Bullock School and Green Pasture roads in Edgecombe County, a deputy was able to cut Bulluck off and end the pursuit, afterwhich he was taken into custody.

    The narcotics Bulluck attempted to discard were located by Nash County deputies and found to be methamphetamine and fentanyl in individual packages. The firearm that was seized was not reported stolen at the time of his arrest. The car used in the chase was also taken based on the “Run and Done” law, deputies added. 

    Upon further investigation, deputies found that Bulluck had been livestreaming parts of the chase on Facebook. 

    The office said that while Bulluck was being taken into the Nash County Detention Center, he made several threats toward law enforcement and allegedly attempted to spit on one of the deputies. 

    He was issued no bond, and is scheduled to appear in court on Monday at 9 a.m. He was charged with the following:

    • felony flee to elude arrest with a motor vehicle
    • felony possession of a firearm by convicted felon
    • felony possession with intent to sell/deliver heroin/fentanyl
    • felony possession with intent to sell/deliver methamphetamine
    • felony malicious conduct by prisoner
    • misdemeanor communicating threats
    • misdemeanor resist/obstruct/delay a law enforcement officer
    • various traffic violations from the vehicle pursuit

    NCSO added that Bulluck has a lengthy criminal history prior to Saturday’s events and is a multi-convicted felon, which prohibits him from possessing any firearms. Currently, he has 22 pending cases in various counties that range from traffic violations to narcotics and firearm violations.

    A crumpled Pontiac found submerged in a creek belongs to a man who went missing on Christmas Eve in 2003, according to investigators in North Carolina.

    However, deputies did not report finding the remains of 22-year-old Travis Lamont Lynch.

    His car was spotted around 2:45 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 10, in Turkey Creek, about 17 miles northeast of Wilson, officials say. A license plate was used to identify the vehicle as belonging to Lynch.

    “A citizen contacted authorities to report a vehicle submerged in the water near Old Middlesex Road and Turkey Creek. Deputies from the Nash County Sheriff’s Office responded to the scene and confirmed the presence of a white Pontiac passenger vehicle,” the sheriff’s office says.

    “The investigation identified the vehicle, (1992 Pontiac Grand AM), as belonging to Travis Lamont Lynch, who was reported missing in 2003. The vehicle was successfully recovered from the water and the Nash County Sheriff’s Office is currently processing and evaluating evidence.”

    The department has requested the assistance of the FBI Submersion Evidence team “to conduct further investigation of the area.”

    Maps show a two-lane bridge crosses Turkey Creek on Old Middlesex Road, and the area is heavily wooded.

    Lynch was last seen driving the car as he left his girlfriend’s home in the Middlesex area “in the early morning hours of Christmas Eve 2003,” the sheriff’s office says.

    “He intended to return to his home in Wilson, NC, but never arrived and did not contact any of his family,” officials say.

    He was supposed to alert his girlfriend when he got safely home that morning, but that call never came, according to the Charley Project. He was reported missing by his mother two days later, the site says.

    Middlesex is about a 30-mile drive east from downtown Raleigh.
