Hey, there’s a surprise.
Shea Anthony Roseboro, 18, wanted by CMPD on assault with a deadly weapon charges in the Monday shooting of 14-year-old boy near Rozzelles Ferry Road, received a 36-month suspended sentence on a felony cocaine dealing charge in July 2006.
This being Mecklenburg County you know that Roseboro has been arrested numerous times — 11 to be exact — since that conviction and remained at large. In fact, in February 2007 Roseboro was arrested and charged with felony armed robbery. After Roseboro spent a couple weeks in the county jail, those charges were evidently dropped. But by August 2007 Roseboro was arrested on a probation violation and spent a week in jail before being released. In October it was a felony car theft charge that brought Roseboro back to jail for two weeks before that felony arrest faded away into the Mecklenburg criminal ether.
Then in January of this year Roseboro was arrested four times for driving with a revoked license, with a felony cocaine possession charge thrown in for good measure. Then in June we have another driving with a revoked license along with a resisting arrest charge. And in what just has to be a mistake — in a sane world — the Mecklenburg County jail website indicates that Roseboro was arrested on Friday night for reckless driving, fake tag/registration, and driving without a license. He was released from jail in two hours.
By Monday police were looking for Roseboro again while his alleged gunshot victim was hospitalized in serious condition.
Bonus Observation: Some smart, fearless immigration lawyer is gonna take all these arrests of Charlotte’s probationary felons on traffic charges that result in absolutely no action by the state and make Swiss cheese out of 287(g) programs.
Update: WBTV reports that Roseboro was arrested this morning at his apartment.
