Charlotte Thug Out On Bail Kills 56 Year Old Women In Traffic Accident While Fleeing From Police

Over this past weekend, CMPD responded to a 3 vehicle crash at W.T. Harris and Albermarle Roads.

Saturday night just before midnight Officers located a Volvo with heavy damage to the front end, a Mitsubishi with heavy damage to the left side of the vehicle and a Chevrolet with front-end damage in the roadway. Five individuals were transported to the hospital with injuries. The driver of the Mitsubishi has been identified as 56-year-old Crystal Barrington and was later pronounced deceased. Prior to the accident CMPD officers responded to a suspicious vehicle call involving 18-year-old Treshawn Wilson, the Volvo driver. Wilson fled from officers at a high rate of speed reported to be more than 80 mph in a 45 mph one before crashing at the intersection. CMPD officers were not in an active pursuit of him at the time of the crash. Wilson is charged with second degree murder, felony serious injury by vehicle, felony flee and elude, driving while intoxicated drinking under 21 and reckless driving. His juvenile record is reported to be extensive and he was on probation out of Cabarrus county for a conviction on organized retail theft charges. He had also been arrested back in July for violating the terms of his probation. But released on $50,000 bail after only a few days in jail.

His bond raised to $500,000 on Monday by Judge Roderick Davis, on all but the murder charge which bond was not granted pending a hearing on Tuesday November 10, 2026.

CMPD Charging Affidavit

On 11/07/2026 at approximately 2348 hours, Officers with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department were conducting routine patrols along Harrisburg Road when the suspect vehicle, a dark in color SUV displaying license plate 430BSFF that was backed into a parking spot in the parking lot of Harrisburg Road Park located at 8045 Harrisburg Road. 

When the vehicle was approached by a patrol vehicle, the driver of the vehicle fled from the parking lot in a careless and reckless manner. When the vehicle took a left turn onto Harrisburg Road, it drove onto the right side of the roadway through the grass and then drove back onto the roadway into the oncoming traffic lanes. 

Sgt Draper initiated a traffic stop by turning on his emergency equipment. 

When he initiated the traffic stop, the vehicle did not stop and fled from the attempted stop at a high rate of speed that was estimated to be above 80 miles per hour. The speed limit posted on this roadway is 45 miles per hour. 

When it was obvious that the vehicle was fleeing from the attempted traffic stop, Sgt Draper disengaged his emergency equipment. 

The vehicle continued to drive in a careless and reckless manner and took a left turn onto Robinson Church Road. 

A short time later, other officers located the same vehicle and attempted to activate their emergency equipment to initiate another attempted traffic stop on WT Harris Blvd. The vehicle fled from the secondary attempted traffic stop in a careless and reckless manner and at a speed above 80 miles per hour on WT Harris Blvd., which has a posted speed limit of 45 miles per hour. 

After the vehicle fled from the secondary attempted stop, the other officers disengaged their emergency equipment. When the vehicle drove down WT Harris Blvd. into the intersection with Albemarle Road, the driver of the vehicle did not slow the speed of the vehicle to allow traffic with the right of way to pass, and the vehicle struck at least one other vehicle. 

This collision caused serious injury to the driver and passengers of the vehicle that was struck. Passenger Crystal Barringer suffered extensive internal injuries causing her to have critical life threating injuries and remain in a unresponsive state and is currently in the intensive critical unit. 

Another Passenger Jacoby Barringer suffered a broken right leg and also found to have internal injuries resulting in his placement in the intensive care unit. 

When I arrived on the scene of the crash, I asked officers on scene who was driving the vehicle, and the suspect, Treshawn Wilson, made a spontaneous utterance that he was the person driving the vehicle. Treshawn Wilson was transported to the hospital where he was treated for his injuries. 

While Treshawn Wilson was being treated Officers observed camera footage of the incident and observed Treshawn Wilson exiting the driver side of the vehicle after the collision. Officers observed injuries to the suspect that were consistent with someone being in the driver seat of the vehicle. Officers also located a key to a Volvo matching the suspect vehicle in Treshawn Wilson's left pant pocket. 

Officers had probable cause to believe that Treshawn Wilson had consumed Marijuana prior to the collision and was found to be under the age of 21. The defendant consented to a DWI blood draw. Once Treshawn Wilson was released from the hospital he was interviewed by detectives where he admitted to driving the vehicle and smoking marijuana prior to operating the vehicle.

From Sophia's CMPD Affidavit

On Tuesday, October 20, 2026, approximately 0044 hrs. the Charlotte Fire Department and officers responded to a fire incident located at 10025 John Price Road. 

A CFD fire investigator conducted a fire origin and cause investigation and determined the fire was incendiary in nature. The fire was a result from an improvised explosive device. 

The witness observed the defendant (identified as Sophia Koronis, W/F, 05/30/2007) light and throw an incendiary device which exploded, landed on the property at the listed location and burned the grass.

Remains of the incendiary device were found scattered throughout the fire scene and the odor of an ignitable liquid consistent with gasoline was detected. 

The defendant then attempted to light another incendiary device but was unsuccessful and threw it near the listed location at 10101 John Price Rd. 

A lighter (blue in color) was also found near the intact incendiary device.

The defendant was in possession of two incendiary devices (weapons of mass destruction). The defendant was able to light one of the incendiary devices which exploded and caused damage to the listed property (grass) owned by the victim business (City of Charlotte). No one was injured in this fire incident.

Cedar's Take

This absolute "smoke show" duo is a hot mess in the purist sense. Rumor has it that mom Tamara Kotronis is a former SVP with Lending Tree.

So the obvious question is where's mom in all this? Are these just spoiled girls or is Mom MIA maybe they are just in need of a daddy?

Someone to say hey, you deserve better. Maybe they just need that honest come to Jesus moment like Ansley realizing the guy she's in love with doesn't respect her in the least. Maybe the fictional Tommy Norris is right.


Seriously we should all hope this shit stops now so CP doesn't have to post some tragic news a month or two out.

How to Get Released from Jail on a Murder Charge

On Saturday September 26 around 8:15 Charlotte /Mecklenburg 911 dispatch received a call regarding an altercation at 4953 Round Pond Road in CMPD's University City Division.

Medic and Charlotte Fire requested CMPD Officers also respond. 

Out in front of the apartment they located John Perry a black male age 38 with multiple stab wounds.


Family Supplied Photo of the Victim John Perry

The suspect was obvious as Baron Crawford a black male age 32 who was covered in blood and was standing over the victim.

Crawford claimed the Perry tried to enter the apartment and would not leave.

Crawford was charged by CMPD Homicide Detectives with First Degree Murder despite his claim of self defense. 

CP Take:

What is not known is Mr. Perry's version of events. Clearly 8 stab wounds would indicate a horrific level of violence. Stabbing a person 8 times is not self defense it is continuous rage. It is personal and up close. It is not like pulling the trigger and emptying the magazine it takes effort and violent force. It requires pursuing the victim out of the apartment and continuing to attack him. 


How to get released from jail after a murder charge. 

Step one - claim self defense.

Step two - Make sure your bail hearing is in front of a wacked out liberal black judge named Roderick Glenn Davis.


Honorable Roderick Glenn Davis

Step three - Have Davis listen your appointed public defender, who convinces the judge to enter the following as reason to grant bail.

This is a rebuttal presumption case. Defendant has presented evidence based on his/her strong ties to the community, employment history and or family support that rebuts the presumption. The fact of his case indicates that the alleged victim came to Defendant's home and would not leave. In considering the facts there may be a strong claim of self-defense. A $50,000 secured bond is reasonable based on the facts.

Never mind that you stabbed the victim 8 times. 

At this point the judge for all intents and purposes has already held the trial and declared the defendant not guilty. 

Crawford raised the $5,000 in cash needed to leave the Mecklenburg County Detention Center a few hours later and was released on September 29 at 10:21 am.

Since then Crawford has been indicted by a Mecklenburg Grand Jury on October 6, 2026.

Yet he remains free on the minimal bail. His next court date is for an Administrative Hearing on November 10, 2026.


CMPD Charging Affidavit

On Saturday, September 26, 2026, at 1919 hours, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Officers responded to 4953 Round Pond Road, Apartment A, for an Assist Medic call for service. 

The 911 caller stated that a male was being aggressive, would not leave, and tried to push his way inside and they stabbed him. 

Officers located the victim, John Joseph Perry (Perry) (B/M, 05/25/1988), lying in front of Apartment A, suffering from approximately eight stab wounds. 

Officers located the suspect, Baron Deshawn Crawford (Crawford) (B/M, 10/24/1994), standing near the victim with blood on him. 

The victim was pronounced deceased by Medic Supervisor Herford at 1937 hours. Detectives processed the scene and located a knife with suspected blood on it inside of the suspect's apartment, and additional blood inside. 

Detectives spoke with a witness who identified themselves to law enforcement, who advised that they heard a commotion outside and observed the suspect standing over the victim who was struggling to breathe. 

They advised that the suspect told her that the male would not leave, so he stabbed him. Detectives attempted to speak with Crawford, but he declined to make a statement. Based on the facts obtained during the investigation, there is probable cause that the following charge occurred First Degree Murder and Baron Deshawn Crawford (B/M, 10/24/1994) committed this offense.

The Group Text Madness Continues

Charlotte Mecklenburg Police Command Staff has overnight created an Orwellian Hellscape where “bad words” can get you fired or worst imprisoned.

“As a Black woman who began my career here, in this very department, it is especially painful and disheartening to hear concerns from our community about racism coming from within the ranks of this organization," Patterson said.
CMPD Chief Stella Patterson (A Black Woman) has now recruited race warriors Benjamin Crump and Corine Mack to build national outrage over the perceived injustice. Not only has she demanded the termination of these Officers, she has vowed to see that these Officers are banned from serving as law enforcement Officers anywhere else. After reviewing countless text messages and group chats, the department dug yet deeper by reviewing hours of BWC videos and audited hundreds of arrest reports yet found No further Evidence of Misconduct. Now CMPD Chief Patterson has requested that the FBI review possible Civil Rights Violations citing the Racist Text messages. All this makes you wonder what’s next for CMPD rank and file, implanted body metric recorders to monitor Dopamine Spikes or Testosterone Increases that might happen while cuffing a mildly attractive 20 something blond haired females? In 2019 New York investigators studied 888 of the 2,495 bias complaints, where 68% involved allegations of racial bias. NYPD determined that Officers sometimes said bad things. “NYPD does not investigate as biased policing an officer’s use of offensive or derogatory language related to a complainant’s actual or perceived protected status, such as a racial slur, even though NYPD prohibits such conduct”. As a result of the review NYPD basically told the Officers to knock it off. No one was fired no one was suspended.

I want to be very clear - Much of the behavior depicted in the CMPD group text is abhorrent. However, this should have been handled internally rather than creating a public spectacle, casting Charlotte in a very poor light and setting back recruitment efforts a decade or more. Police work is not for the meek. The "talk" is part of the job, and it often serves as the relief mechanism that helps deal with the part of the job Officers don't talk about. The four year old shot while sleeping, the 26 year old mother shot in face five times, the accident victim cut in 2 because of a drunk driver. Tell them to knock it off and move on was how it should have been handled. And if it made the Chief feel all warm and fuzzy as a proud Black Woman she could order that they all attend sensitivity training or log 200 hours at "A Roof Above". CMPD covers a large and diverse area on North Carolina we need more Officers not fewer.





The larger matter might be the Chief's us vs them perception. Her opening statement "As a Black Woman" tells you everything you need to know.

She didn't say as a Police Officer, or as a Life Long Charlottean or as a Christian. In her mind being Black is first on her list.

And that's the difference between her thinking and most of the "boots on the street", and why she was a bad choice for Chief of a multi ethnic police department. She considers herself a "Black Woman" first.

Conversely I'm a Christian, Father, Husband, American, North Carolinian, Fisherman, and somewhere down off the end of the list is white guy.

Racist Group Texts? Seriously? or Seriously Over Blown?

So it starts with a simple a "you might want to be aware of this..." from the North Carolina SBI.

But like a Halloween monster story it grew legs and a hood.

Local Media:

Three Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department (CMPD) officers have resigned and three others are facing termination following an internal investigation into highly offensive group text messages.

WCNC Charlotte claimed to have obtained a message reportedly sent by one of the officers to colleagues earlier this year that references how "our texts sound like a clan rally." Personnel records show all were hired within the last three years or so. Four of the seven officers have the same start date listed in their personnel files.

"So, I have not read all the messages," Patterson said. "I can share with you that the biases show racial, sexual; they also show religious biases ... My personal reaction is one of disgust, anger, frustration."

Patterson said CMPD acted "swiftly and decisively" after uncovering the messages. She said each officer faced an independent chain-of-command board hearing that unanimously agreed to cite the officers for termination. 

"I fully concur with that decision," Patterson said. 

The next step involves the Civil Service Board, which has the authority to fire sworn CMPD officers. Patterson declined to share specific details of the case, citing state laws that protect personnel records. CMPD is working with federal agencies to determine if any civil rights violations occurred. 

"I can tell you this. As soon as we learned of this, of the involved officers, we immediately conducted audits of their body-worn footage, we reviewed their traffic stops, their traffic stop data, we looked at their arrest records and we looked to see if any of those officers had external complaints," Patterson said. "As of this point, we have not found any evidence of this." 

Short Version:

• The Allegations: The text message chain among six officers included frequent use of the N-word, expressions of sexual and religious bias, and discussions of a contest to see who could pull over the most Black drivers. The messages reportedly date back several years.

• How It Was Discovered: The messages were uncovered during a criminal investigation into an officer's alleged misuse of Flock Safety automated license plate reader technology.

• Officer Backgrounds: The four individuals involved are from the 2024 CMPD graduating class, and represent three separate races. Their names have not yet been publicly released due to state personnel privacy laws. 

During the October 15, 2026 press conference, CMPD Police Chief Estella Patterson called the text chain "serious and deeply troubling".

• Department Audits: CMPD immediately audited the officers' body-worn camera footage, traffic stop data, arrest records, and complaint histories. Chief Patterson stated that, as of October 2026, the review has found no evidence that residents were actively targeted or that misconduct occurred during their active policing.

• Termination and Decertification: An internal chain-of-command board unanimously recommended termination for all six officers. Because three have resigned, Chief Patterson is seeking the formal termination of the remaining three through the Charlotte Civil Service Board, which holds the sole legal authority to fire sworn members. The department is also pursuing state decertification to prevent any of the six from working in law enforcement again.

• Federal Review: Chief Patterson and Charlotte Mayor Rob Harrington have requested that federal law enforcement partners step in to independently review the matter for potential civil rights violations.

Cedar's Take:

CMPD's fearless leader made it worse:

“As a Black woman who began my career here, in this very department, it is especially painful and disheartening to hear concerns from our community about racism coming from within the ranks of this organization," Patterson said.

Imagine for a moment if she had said “As a citizen of Charlotte …” or as a life long resident or taxpayer or any number of options, rather than throwing race into her statement. 

Why did she do this, just as many in patrol started feeling some respect? So the white shirts are gone but the sense of entitlement remains?

At Thursday's news conference, CMPD Chief Patterson said the officers were of three different races, though she declined to specify which races.

Well there are five choices:

•White: People having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa.

•Black or African American: People having origins in any of the black racial groups of Africa.

•Asian: People having origins in the Far East, Southeast Asia, or the Indian subcontinent.

•American Indian or Alaska Native: Indigenous peoples of North and South America who maintain tribal or community attachment.

•Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander: People having origins in the original peoples of Hawaii, Guam, Samoa, or other Pacific Islands.

FYI 

Hispanic is not a race.

Thanks to the Chief, once again it’s us vs them. I’m confused as to how these racist text messages were going on for years, but four of the officers are graduates of the October 2024 training class?

Like Jennings, Patterson spent a minimal amount of time in patrol but I haven't seen a photo of her wearing a traffic vest backwards. 

I know having 2 cellphones is a pain. But don't give your personal number to the department. 

Oddly the FOP is quiet oddly so. 

I've been around COPS my whole life. 3 Cousins, 2 Nephews and a dozen life long friends. Talk is Talk. The endless banter that makes 3rd shift tolerable, roll call less painful and the lack of a sizeable paycheck despite endless overtime bearable.

And one more thing... "let's be careful out there."

CMPD Arrest Affidavit

On Wednesday, October 7, 2026, at 0518 hours, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Officers were dispatched to 6916 Statesville Road in reference to an Assault with a Deadly Weapon with Injury call for service. 

The 911 caller stated that she was just shot. First responders arrived and transported the victim who was identified as Courtney Marie Mullis (W/F, 11/16/1999) to the hospital. 

While in route to the hospital, Mullis was pronounced deceased by Tiffany Davidson #0213 with Medic at 0538 hours. Homicide Detectives and Crime Scene responded to the scene and the hospital. 

Detectives conducted a voluntary recorded interview with a witness who identified themselves to law enforcement. This witness stated that they were driving on Statesville Road and saw a female lying on the ground near a vehicle and a black male pulling items from the trunk of the that vehicle. 

The witness described the male as wearing a gray hooded jacket with denim on it and gray sweatpants. Officers reviewed camera footage near the scene and observed the defendant walking in the direction away from the scene towards Sunset Road. 

Officers located the defendant walking along Statesville Road near Keith Drive and spoke with the defendant. During the course of the investigation, the defendant provided Officers with the name of "John Frank" with a date of birth of 03/17/2002. 

The defendant was positively identified as Jamere Robert Edwards (B/M, 03/05/2001). 

When the defendant provided Officers with the fictitious name, he delayed the investigation. 

The defendant was taken into custody and transported to the Law Enforcement Center. A search incident to arrest of the defendant yielded a live cartridge casing in the defendant's pocket. The live ammunition was .40 caliber, and the head stamp was S&W CBC. Detectives processed the scene at 6932 Statesville Road and located multiple discharged cartridge casings (DCCs) that were .40 caliber and had the head stamp of S&W CBC. 

A black Glock 23 S/N: BXZZ984 was recovered in the woods near the scene, and this firearm was also loaded with a live S&W .40 caliber round. Detectives searched the victim's vehicle and found paper with the defendant's name on it. 

Detectives processed the victim at the hospital, and she had sustained multiple suspects gunshot wounds to the face and lower portions of her body. On 06/26/2024, the defendant was cited for carrying a concealed gun. 

Detectives reviewed the ATF trace form associated with the gun that was seized by the defendant and learned that this firearm is a Glock 23 .40 caliber with the S/N: BXZZ984. Detectives researched the defendant and learned that he had multiple prior civil cases from this year where both he and the victim were named. 

Based on the following facts, | (Detective J. Moran) am requesting warrants for Jamere Robert Edward's arrest for First Degree Murder, and Resist, Delay, Obstruct an Officer from Performing their Official Duties.
