DAVIDSON COUNTY, N.C. (WGHP) — A teen who was allegedly abducted from Dallas, Texas, was found in Davidson County, North Carolina, over the weekend, according to the sheriff’s office.

The Davidson County Sheriff’s Office says that Jorge Ivan Santos Camacho from Davidson County is accused of taking the 13-year-old girl and bringing her to North Carolina.

On Friday around 6 p.m., the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office was called by the Texas FBI about a missing 13-year-old. The sheriff’s office says that messages exchanged between Camacho and the 13-year-old on a chat app were consistent with grooming and enticement, and he took her from her Dallas home.

Officials say the victim was last seen at her home on March 1. They also say a “disturbing” direct message was found on her gaming account.

Camacho’s vehicle was spotted on “camera activity” in Dallas near her home, according to the sheriff’s department.

Warrants allege that Camacho “took indecent liberties” with the 13-year-old, and she was kept where Camacho was staying “with the intent that the 13-year-old female be held in sexual servitude.”

The girl was found locked in an outbuilding on Linwood-Southmont Road, according to detectives. The outbuilding was locked from the outside. The property owner said she was letting Camacho live in the outbuilding because he was friends with her son who lives in Texas and didn’t have anywhere to go, and that she had no idea he had brought a girl into the shed.

Davidson County Sheriff Richie Simmons described finding the victim as “just the tip of the iceberg,” believing there was more for them to uncover. “I thank God we were able to find this young girl.”

Camacho is charged with felony abduction of child, felonious restraint, one count of indecent liberties with a child, two counts of statutory rape, two counts of statutory sex offense and felony human trafficking.

Camacho is being held on a $1.25 million bond. The girl was treated and taken back to Texas.

1 / 6

“Parents have got to wise up,” the sheriff said during a news conference, talking about the chat platforms where the teen allegedly met the suspect on.

The sheriff spoke of how it reminded them of a case of a young Denton teen who was abducted in a similar situation and found in Arkansas.

“I couldn’t be prouder of my men and women who work here,” Simmons said.

Sheriff Simmons says that there are more charges pending and some details cannot be released.

As the calendar flips to April this week, the Midwest will witness quite the weather show as numerous robust thunderstorms sweep across the region.

Both today and Tuesday have been highlighted for additional threats across the central and eastern U.S. A potent low pressure system will begin to develop along a stalled front over the Midwest today, leading to widespread thunderstorm activity as the system shifts eastward.

Severe Thunderstorm Watches have been issued for portions of central Texas and eastern Kansas. Additionally, a Tornado Watch has been issued for central Oklahoma down to areas bordering the Red River in north Texas. All of these watches are in effect until 9pm CDT.

The government's Storm Prediction Center has placed a Moderate Risk (rated 4 out of 5 on the severe weather scale) for severe weather across central and eastern Oklahoma into far north-central Texas. This includes Oklahoma City and Tulsa, Okla., and Wichita Falls, Texas. Here, very large hail to the size of gold balls or larger, destructive winds and potentially a few tornadoes.

A larger Enhanced Risk extends from the rest of north-central Texas, most of the remaining portion of Oklahoma and eastern Kansas into northwestern Arkansas, most of Missouri, southern Illinois, southern Indiana and parts of Kentucky. Cities within this risk includes Dallas, Kansas City, Mo., St. Louis, Springfield, Ill., Evansville, Ind., and Louisville, Ky. Here, widespread thunderstorms will produce wind gusts up to 60 or perhaps even 70 mph along with large hail and also a tornado threat.

However, anyone from central Texas to southern Ohio and western West Virginia will need to keep a close on darkening skies. Within this area, potent thunderstorms could produce wind gusts of 50 to 60 mph, hail and a brief tornado.

After Sunday and Monday, Tuesday will be the third day of severe weather threats as this system begins to become better organized over the Ohio and Tennessee valleys. Another area of Enhanced Risk will be in place on Tuesday, this time over southern Indiana and Ohio to northeastern Mississippi and northern Alabama. The threats will remain similar to the previous day including high winds, tornadoes, and large hail for cities such as Cincinnati, Louisville and Lexington, Ky., Nashville, Tenn., Charleston and Huntington, W.Va.

A Slight Risk includes an area from the Mississippi River to the Appalachians and from southern Ohio to central Mississippi. These areas could still see dangerous thunderstorm activity as they begin to strengthen in the early afternoon, then weaken over the mountains for the evening hours.

Rounds of thunderstorms will also be capable of producing repeated waves of heavy rain across parts of the Ohio Valley and Central Appalachians. A Flood Watch is in effect between southeastern Indiana and western Maryland. Cities including Cincinnati and Columbus, Ohio, Huntington, Charleston, and Morgantown, W. Va., could see localized rain amounts between 1 and 3 inches between tonight and Tuesday evening.

The best thing to do is to stay prepared and weather-aware, starting with knowing the difference between a watch and a warning should they be issued this week. A watch means that conditions are favorable for severe weather to develop, and you need to have a plan in place for acting. However, a warning means that severe weather has been indicated and/or imminent, and you need to act fast to remain safe. When in doubt remember, “When Thunder Roars, Go Indoors!”

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) - A law enforcement investigation in Davidson County into drugs in the county led to a Baptist church on Sunday, deputies said.

Deputies from the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office arrived at South Side Baptist Church in Lexington after receiving reports that a man staying at the church was manufacturing marijuana, a news release stated.

“I really hope they burn in Hell,” one neighbor said. “I’m a Christian; that is so so wrong. It’s wrong. It’s wrong anywhere but especially in God’s house.”

The pastor had told deputies that the church had not been in operation and had been closed since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, but former members say the pastor closed the church prior to the pandemic.

“That church has been shut down way prior to that,” the neighbor said.

“Upon further investigation, deputies searched the property and seized about 12 pounds of marijuana, about 32 grams of psilocybin mushrooms, 41 THC vape pens, 20 marijuana plants, and about 2 pounds of tetrahydrocannabinol wax (THC wax),” according to the DCSO.

The church pastor, identified by members as Josh Price, 50, and his son, Matthew Price, 28, were arrested for their alleged role in the drug operation.

They were charged with manufacturing marijuana, trafficking in marijuana, possession with intent to sell and deliver THC wax, three counts of felony maintaining a dwelling, possession with intent to sell and deliver marijuana, and conspiracy to traffic marijuana.

Both suspects have a court date of July 25, 2023, in Davidson County District Court, according to the DCSO.

Former church member Mike Lambeth said he had tried to warn the church about Price when Price first came to the church approximately three years ago.

“This guy, I met him one time and our spirits didn’t bear witness at all and I did not think he was a pastor and I told a lot of the members there, ‘y’all better watch out for him,’” Lambeth said.

The area south of Clanton Road is coined by some people as Lower South End or ‘LoSo.’

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) - Development in Charlotte continues to expand further south of South End to an area coined by some people as Lower South End or LoSo.

It’s not an official district, but most people consider Lower South End to be the area between South Tryon Street and South Boulevard from Clanton Road down to East Woodlawn Road.

The area is exploding with new apartments and retail along the light rail.

People like Lenora Smith chose the area to call home because of the close proximity to the Blue Line.

“My husband is visually impaired and so we were looking for a spot for him that would be easy as far as getting around,” Smith told WBTV.

Smith lives off South Boulevard near Clanton Road where life is pretty loud right now.

“They’re building on all three sides of us, the back, the side and the front of our unit,” she said.

Developer Akridge & Kettler is building 310 rental apartments and roughly 9,500 square feet of retail space on the other side of South Boulevard.

The project is called South & Hollis and is set to open in the fall of 2023.

Further south, old warehouses are getting a facelift.

Two buildings at the corner of Old Pineville Road and Southside Drive will be transformed into a 27,650-square-foot urban pickleball and entertainment complex called Rally.

“If you want to stop in on your way to the office and grab a quick workout with a friend and have a coffee and a light breakfast that works,” Director of Real Estate for Rally, James Craig, said. “Conversely you can stop in for happy hour on the way home or just post up on your laptop all day and treat it like a co-working space of sorts.”

Craig says they will break ground in May and Rally is set to open in early 2023.

It will feature a total of eight pickleball courts (four indoor, four outdoor), two signature cocktail bars, private and semi-private event spaces, and lots of lounge and spectator seating to take in all of the pickleball action.

Craig says this location is a no-brainer.

“I define lower South End as the exclamation mark to the development that we’ve seen thus far in South End proper,” he said.

It’s not all new.

Just around the corner from Rally, Olde Mecklenburg Brewery has been there since opening in 2009.

Brewers at 4001 Yancey is also nearby, and is about to celebrate its fourth year.

“The amount of vibrancy and culture in this area is absolutely amazing,” Alex Osterhoudt, General Manager of Brewers at 4001 Yancey, said.

Osterhoudt says he’s not complaining about the direction growth is heading.

“It’s definitely a thing,” he said. “Proud to be lower South End. So LoSo, you’ll hear it more and more as this community continues to grow.”

Not everyone is calling it LoSo just yet.

“I think it’s a new term,” Smith said.

But the developers are not waiting, already using ‘LoSo’ in the names of several new apartment complexes.

City council member Victoria Watlington represents this area.

She said there has been interest from a few business owners in the past year-and-a-half to learn more about what it would take to make Lower South End official and become a Municipal Service District.

South End Proper is already one.
