Individuals involved in two recent automobile incidents and one charged with having sex with a minor are scheduled to appear in court within the next month. Some of those cases have already been continued multiple times.

Alexandria Vreugdenhil

The court date of a teenager involved in a wreck just over two months ago will be Dec. 1 in Sampson County District Court, according to records with the North Carolina court system. This is the second time her case has been continued. It was first docketed Oct. 20, continued until Nov. 3 and continued again until Dec. 1.

Alexandria Vreugdenhil, 16, of Clinton, is facing three charges: reckless driving; no license/permit seating violation; and having no operator’s license. All three charges are related to a late-August one-vehicle accident that seriously injured the two backseat passengers.

Sampson County district attorney Dewey Hudson said that a continuance in a trial case is nothing out of the ordianary.

“For many different reasons, these things happen,” Hudson said Tuesday. “It is not unusual for a lawyer to file a motion to get a (court) date moved back in order to prepare or get things in order. It happens all the time.”

According to reports from the N.C. Highway Patrol, the two young men riding with Vreugdenhil, were seriously injured when her 2009 Nissan, traveling east near the intersection of Bass Lake Road, on Harmony Church Road in Roseboro, went off the right side of the roadway.

Vreugdenhil, who was driving, and her front seat passenger, Alissa Kornegay, 16, of Clinton, were reportedly shaken up but not seriously injured in the wreck.

The young men — Josh King, 18, of Faison and Jeremiah Davis, 17, of Newton Grove, were back seat passengers and, according to N.C. Highway Patrol reports, were in the area of the vehicle where the most impact occurred.

David Wemyss

A man involved in the death of a popular Wal-Mart employee will go to trial on Nov. 24, according to according to court records

David Craig Wemyss, 52, of 484 N.C. Hwy. 58, Warrenton, is alleged to have struck and killed Bruce Lee Holder, 24, of 3803 Waycross Road, Clinton, who was traveling home on U.S. 421 South, near the Indiantown Road/U.S.701 overpass, after working second shift at Wal-Mart in Clinton on Oct. 12. Holder, who was riding on a 2005 moped, was hit from behind by a 1999 Ford Explorer.

Reports state that Wemyss hit Holder at a speed of approximately 55 mph. It is estimated that Holder’s body was carried and then thrown from his moped 185 feet from the initial point of impact.

Wemyss was charged with driving while impaired, failure to reduce speed and misdemeanor death by motor vehicle.

He will be in court this Friday to face a speeding charge; and then appear in court Nov. 24 to face the misdemeanor death by motor vehicle, DWI and failure to reduce speed charges.

Johnny Aman

A former deputy sheriff with the Sampson County Sheriff’s Office, who was arrested and charged on a host of sex offenses on June 5, is scheduled to appear in court Friday, Nov. 13, after having his trial date continued four days.

John Lenn Aman, 47, of 3706 H. B. Lewis Road, Clinton, was arrested June 5, after an investigation into a sexual assault that was reported by a 17-year-old female. According to reports, investigators with the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation and the Sampson County Sheriff’s Office were able to determine that Aman had started having sexual relationship with the female when she was just 13-years-old and continued the relationship until March of this year, when he again is alleged to have forced her to have sex against her will.

Aman was charged with eight counts of statutory rape; one count of second degree rape; eight counts of indecent liberties with a minor; two counts of soliciting prostitution of a minor; nine counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor; and one count of sexual battery.
