Goldsboro, N.C. — A local man is facing a series of serious criminal charges following his arrest on Saturday, May 24. Authorities have identified the suspect as Alkabeer Lewis, who is being held on a $5,000 bond in connection with a range of offenses that span firearms violations and personal violence.

According to law enforcement records, Lewis was charged with possession of a stolen firearm, possession of a firearm by a felon, and carrying a concealed gun. These charges suggest that Lewis, who is legally prohibited from possessing firearms due to a prior felony conviction, was found in unlawful possession of at least one weapon, including a firearm reported as stolen.

In addition to the weapons-related offenses, Lewis is also facing multiple assault charges. These include assault on a female, assault and battery, and communicating threats. The charges indicate that Lewis was allegedly involved in a violent altercation during which he is accused of physically assaulting a woman and making verbal threats that contributed to the escalation of the situation.

While the full circumstances surrounding the arrest have not been made public, the combination of weapons and assault charges indicates a potentially dangerous encounter that led to Lewis’s detention. Authorities have not disclosed whether the arrest occurred during a traffic stop, a domestic incident, or as the result of an ongoing investigation.

As of Monday, Lewis remains in custody. No court date has been set, and it is currently unknown whether he has retained legal counsel. The investigation into the incident is ongoing.
