Detention-center records list Keyozia Anoinia Gore, 27, of 200 W. Sixth St. in Chadbourn, as charged with disorderly conduct and held on a $5,000 secured bond.
Booking and identification
Gore was initially entered in detention records as Jane Doe after she declined to provide her name, according to the records. Her identity was later confirmed. The booking followed a Saturday encounter with Whiteville police.
Police account of the encounter
Columbus County News, citing a Whiteville Police Department report, said officers went to 416 J.K. Powell Blvd. after finding a Ford stopped in the roadway with apparent damage. The report did not establish whether the damage was recent or preexisting. Police described Gore as impaired but said they lacked probable cause to arrest her for driving while impaired.
Roadway context
The available transportation-plan data addresses roadway capacity rather than the specific circumstances of the encounter. The North Carolina Department of Transportation’s Columbus County transportation plan says the relevant US 701 facility’s current capacity ranges from 13,800 to 26,000 vehicles per day, with proposed capacity of 47,400 vehicles per day, according to the North Carolina Department of Transportation.
According to the same account, officers offered to arrange transportation for Gore. Police said she responded with profanity, became physically confrontational and resisted when officers attempted to take her into custody. The available material identifies disorderly conduct as the charge and does not establish whether another charge was filed.
Bond comparison
The UNC Criminal Justice Innovation Lab report cited in the original article found a $500 median secured bond for Class 2 and 3 misdemeanor cases in Judicial District 21, which covers Forsyth County. Gore's $5,000 bond is ten times that figure, but the comparison is limited because it concerns another county and a median across multiple cases rather than Columbus County cases specifically. The report is available from the UNC Criminal Justice Innovation Lab.
