ROCKINGHAM — A man recently convicted for trespassing at a local retail store is now facing three additional trespassing charges.
According to warrants, 30-year-old Jamie Lee Ledwell, of Rockingham, trespassed at the Rockingham Lowe’s on Feb. 17 and 24. Both warrants were issued on Feb. 28.
Ledwell was arrested March 4 and charged with two counts of second-degree trespassing. He was booked into the Richmond County Jail where he is being held on a combined $2,000 secured bond.
According to court records, Ledwell was also charged with second-degree trespassing (again at Lowe's) earlier in the month, but was released on a written promise to appear in court.
He has court dates for March 7 and April 4.
Online court records show Ledwell has pending charges of habitual larceny, possessing stolen goods, both felonies, and misdemeanor shoplifting in Cumberland County. His next court date in that case is March 19.
Court records also show several recent convictions that are not reflected by the N.C. Department of Adult Correction.
Ledwell was convicted Jan. 31 on a second-degree trespassing charge, also stemming from an incident at the Rockingham Lowe’s store.
On Dec. 20, 2024, Ledwell pleaded guilty to misdemeanor larceny, misdemeanor conspiracy and injury to personal property, and a charge of habitual larceny was dismissed.
On Nov. 6, 2024, he took a plea for misdemeanor larceny in Moore County, with a felony charge of possession of stolen goods dismissed.
Ledwell also has several convictions from 2022 and 2023 that are not yet reflected in DAC records.
Records show Ledwell’s most recent conviction in October 2021 on two counts of misdemeanor larceny.
He served two months behind bars in 2020 following a conviction on three counts of resisting a public officer.
In 2016, Ledwell was convicted of taking indecent liberties with a child and breaking and entering in Richmond County, as well as felony larceny and larceny of a motor vehicle in Robeson County.
He was initially given probation on all charges, but that was revoked the following year when he was convicted of failing to register a change of address, resulting in a yearlong incarceration.
He went back to prison in July of 2018 on a post-release revocation and the following month was convicted of obstructing justice.
Records show Ledwell served three months in 2019 on a reimprison violation and nearly six months on another post-release revocation.
Ledwell’s first conviction was for driving while impaired in 2015.
All defendants facing criminal charges are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
