Kidnapping hero

Posted on May 26, 2010 by Staff

Those interested in helping Joey Shelton cover his medical bills can drop off a contribution at local RBC branches. Shelton and his brother Freddie helped foil a daylight kidnapping attempt on East Rosemary Street last Wednesday.

The two intervened when they saw Theodore James Walker attempting to drag a young woman to his car behind the downtown Chapel Hill RBC branch.

Joey Shelton, who has no health insurance, suffered a fractured and compressed disc when Walker allegedly tried to run him down with his car while attempting to flee the scene.

Walker, 26, of 108 Timber Hollow Court in Chapel Hill, was charged with assault on a female, second-degree kidnapping and assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury. A baseball bat and a shotgun were found in his car. He is being held in the Orange County jail under a $5 million bond.
