A Charlotte man wanted on an attempted-murder warrant was taken into custody late Wednesday in a York County neighborhood, after a flurry of police activity in a subdivision off Neely's Creek Road, authorities said. Deputies did not immediately release the man's name or any specifics about the allegation behind the warrant.

What authorities said

According to WCNC Charlotte, the York County Sheriff's Office said deputies responded around 9:50 p.m. to reports of police activity on Village Green Lane, off Neely's Creek Road. The agency told the station that deputies were assisting the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department in tracking down the suspect and that the man was ultimately arrested "without incident."

Where the arrest happened and booking

The encounter unfolded in a residential area near Neely's Creek Road in the Wellsbrook and Village Green section of York County, typically a quiet stretch of suburban streets. The York County Sheriff's Office lists its booking and detention operations at the Moss Justice Center at 1675 York Highway in York, S.C., which handles arrests made within the county. The sheriff's office also provides a nonemergency phone line and online incident-reporting tools for anyone needing records or wishing to submit information.

What remains unknown

Even with the arrest, key details about the alleged attempted-murder case remain under wraps, including whether prosecutors intend to pursue charges in South Carolina courts, North Carolina courts, or both. WCNC Charlotte reports that officials had not made the suspect's identity public as of the station's latest update and that Charlotte-Mecklenburg police were contacted for additional information. Authorities are asking anyone with information related to the investigation to reach out to York County detectives.
