Man sentenced on assault charge in connection with shootout at ABC store parking lot in Edenton

EDENTON, N.C. (WAVY) -- A man was sentenced on an assault charge earlier this week in connection with a shootout that happened in April at an Edenton ABC store parking lot.

Monday, Oct. 26, in Superior Court in Pasquotank County, Jerod Montrey Little John, 36, of Edenton, plead guilty to assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill.

He was sentenced to 29 to 47 months suspended along with 48 months of supervised probation.

Edenton police say five other people were arrested on charges stemming from the April 8 incident in the 1300 block of North Broad Street. The shooting, police say, involved one man firing at a pickup truck and the driver of the truck returning fire. No one was injured.

Edenton police Chief Henry King said that on April 8, around 7 p.m., Daniel Lee Harrar Jr. allegedly began shooting at three people inside of a silver Dodge pickup truck.

The truck’s driver, identified as Little John, then allegedly returned fire at Harrar, King said.

“If you see something, say something,” he said.
