Dennis Paul Heater, 60, of Romana Drive, was charged Saturday with resisting a public officer and being armed to the terror of the people.

According to warrants, on Saturday Heater was seen in the roadway of Romana Drive allegedly carrying a 12 gauge Mossberg shotgun. Witnesses told deputies that he went to the private residence of a house in the 400 block of Romana Drive. The resident told deputies she felt threatened by Heater, and said she’d received “disturbing text messages” from Heater where Heater allegedly told her, “She would be sorry for what she did to him.”

Deputies report that when they located Heater and went to frisk him for weapons he allegedly failed to keep his hands raised, and reached into his pockets.

Heater was placed in the Rowan County Detention Center under a $2,000 bond.
