Woman charged with assault, robbery
A 28-year-old southeast Harnett County woman was charged Tuesday, April 8 with two counts of assault with a deadly weapon stemming from a break-in on Gordon Lane Sunday.
Deja Nicole White, who was held on a $100,000 bond, was arrested following an investigation where a home was broken into and a victim, Daniel Devane, was shot and robbed between 1 and 1:30 a.m., according to eCourts.
According to an arrest warrant, White allegedly stole a Sony Playstation valued at $700. Devane was also allegedly threatened with a screwdriver.
The Harnett County Sheriff's Office is looking for three black men who allegedly accompanied White in the crimes.
White, who is listed with an address on Ranger Lane in the Shady Grove Mobile Home Park in the Anderson Creek area, is also charged with first-degree burglary, robbery with a dangerous weapon, possession of stolen goods and conspiracy, all felonies.
She also faces a misdemeanor charge of first-degree trespassing stemming from Feb. 17 when she allegedly failed to leave the home of William Junior McMillan at 101 E. Washington St. in Lillington.
White was charged with communicating threats stemming from Feb. 19, 2020, but the charge was dismissed because the prosecution witness, Latoya Lakesha Wright, failed to appear.
