Ellis Hooks, wanted here for the larceny of automobile accessories, was arrested at Washington, N.C., in company with J.H. Peterson, while the two were driving about that town in an automobile. Officers searched their car and found a small amount of whiskey, a pistol and a pair of brass knucks.
Officer Belangia of this city went to Washington yesterday and brought Hooks to New Bern. He will be given a hearing today.
Jim Wilkinson, who is also wanted here for alleged assault upon a woman, was also arrested in Washington and brought to New Bern by the officer.
