Deputy Steven McPeters of the McDowell County Sheriff’s Office charged Kasey Elaine Grindstaff, 30, address listed as Caraway Drive in Marion, with possession of a firearm by a felon, carrying a concealed weapon and resisting a public officer.
                Shortly after 5 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 17, McPeters stopped a vehicle on Catawba Avenue in Old Fort because it did not have a license plate.

                Grindstaff was apprehended nearby and taken into custody.
