WENTWORTH, N.C. - A man who'd just been released from jail in
northern North Carolina was arrested again for refusing to leave the
jail after authorities wouldn't give him a ride to a motel.
The News & Record of Greensboro reports that 37-year-old Rodney Dwayne Valentine was charged with trespassing.
Valentine was released from the Rockingham County jail Saturday
morning after being behind bars since May 22. The sheriff's office says
he asked them to drive him to a local motel and they refused. Deputies
charged Valentine with second-degree trespassing when he had refused to
leave the jail by Saturday afternoon.
He's being held on $500 bond and is scheduled to appear in court Aug. 9. It was not clear if he has a lawyer.
