Man linked to Soles arrested again

TABOR CITY, NC (WWAY) — Police have made another arrest involving Sen. R.C. Soles and one of his legal clients.

Sunday, the 75-year-old senator got into a confrontation with 24-year-old B.J. Wright in the parking lot of the Tabor City Police Department. Soles told police wright had been following him and calling his cell phone, so Soles pulled into the parking lot, where officers responded.

Police say they found cocaine and an open container of beer in Wright’s possession, and arrested him.

Wright was with Kyle Blackburn at the senator’s home in August when Soles shot Blackburn.
