On Oct. 23, deputies from the Henry County Sheriff’s Office arrested Ronald Dave Robinette III, 27, who was wanted on an outstanding warrant, at a residence on Log Manor Road in Spencer, according to authorities.
Deputies received information that Robinette was at 1349 Log Manor Road and attempted for an extended period to persuade him to surrender peacefully. After securing a search warrant, they entered the home and found Robinette allegedly hiding in a small, enclosed space beneath the stairs. He was taken into custody without incident.
During the search, deputies discovered items consistent with narcotics possession, prompting a second search warrant. The follow-up search led to the discovery of suspected methamphetamine, digital scales, a cell phone, and two firearms that authorities allege were illegally possessed. All evidence has been secured and will be sent to the Western Regional Lab for testing.
Robinette was charged with contempt of court and is being held without bond at the Henry County Adult Detention Center.
The investigation is ongoing, and anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Henry County Sheriff’s Office at 276-638-8751 or Crimestoppers at 63-CRIME (632-7463). The Crimestoppers Program offers rewards of up to $2,500 for tips that aid crime investigations.
