The standoff on Thursday has been further detailed by the Carteret County Sheriff’s Office.
While executing Corey Jay Reynolds, 34, of Greensboro’s arrest warrant, the authorities supported the NCSBI’s VCAT team. Reynolds was sought for on minor indecent liberty and statutory rape allegations.
Reynolds was staying at 108 Croatan Dr. with family in Newport, according to officials who learned of his visit. Upon their arrival at the house, the authorities claimed Reynolds had ignored their request to step outside and speak with them.
At that point, Reynolds gave up talking. Many hours later, Reynolds was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound at the residence after the NCSBI Special Response Team was called in.
Reynolds was said to be armed and dangerous according to a Greensboro wanted poster.
The defendant, who was wanted for statutory rape charges out of Greensboro, passed away on Thursday following a nearly 12-hour confrontation with the cops.
In Newport, the standoff took place on Croatan Drive.
