He was apprehended shortly afterwards but was turned over to the Rocky Mount Police department who had a warrant for him on a charge of larceny of a bicycle. He was convicted and sentenced to 18 months on the roads on that charge and when he completed his sentence a few days ago was turned over to the local authorities on the charge against him in this city.
