Bladenboro town administrator charged

BLADENBORO, NC (WWAY) — For the second time this year, Bladenboro’s town administrator has been charged with a crime.

The Bladen County Sheriff’s Office says Delane Jackson was served with a warrant for arrest for simple assault and a criminal summons for communicating threats just after 2 p.m. after meeting a deputy at the Magistrate’s Office.

Jackson was given a $500 unsecured bond and he was released. He is due in court Jan. 2.

In March two women took out warrants against Jackson for communicating threats after an incident in a laundromat he owns. Jackson took out a counter warrant against one of the women. It was not immediately clear if either case has gone through the court system.
