MCDOWELL COUNTY, N.C. — An urgent search is underway for a man accused of a violent home invasion and robbery.
The suspect, Ryan Ricky Houston, was already out of jail on bond accused of shooting a deputy last year.
Channel 9′s Dave Faherty learned Houston may be driving around in a truck stolen from a local business. Authorities were looking for him Friday along the border between Burke and McDowell counties.
The Skyline Marina in Nebo shared surveillance video of the suspect ramming their gate after stealing a 2016 blue Chevy Silverado 2500 with the N.C. tag: HE-7004. Call 911 or *HP if you have seen this truck in the McDowell County area.
Jeremy Bogard works at the business and couldn’t believe the damage he found Friday morning.
“Rammed the fence with our truck, stole our truck and took off,” Bogard said. “Don’t really know which direction he’s going.”
