An 18-year-old Rockingham man is in trouble with the law again, this time on charges of attempted rape, first-degree kidnapping and a “crime against nature” — all three felonies — stemming from an incident that allegedly took place June 3 at his home.
Jacob McKenzie, of West Eason Drive, was arrested Thursday by personnel from the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office and the North Carolina Adult Probation and Parole division.
McKenzie also was charged with probation violation. McKenzie was ordered held without bond on the attempted rape and kidnapping charges and ordered held on a $15,000 secure bond on the charge of probation violation. He was processed and confined to Richmond County Jail.
This is not McKenzie’s first brush with the law. He was accused in May 2014 of shooting someone during an argument in Hamlet. He was arrested again in August 2014 for allegedly breaking and entering into an Eason Drive church.
McKenzie is scheduled to appear in Richmond County District Court on Monday regarding the breaking and entering case. He’s scheduled for a June 29 District Court appearance for the latest charges.
