SALISBURY — Warrants have been issued for a South Carolina man for a number of offenses, including providing fictitious information to a law enforcement officer.

According to Rowan County Sheriff’s authorities, the man, produced identification for a relative, whose name was originally listed in arrest warrants as Kendall Walker King. Officials later determined warrants were obtained for the wrong person and have issued new arrest warrants that have been served yet.

The charges include felony fleeing to elude arrest with a motor vehicle; felony possession of methamphetamine; misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia; misdemeanor resisting, obstructing or delaying an officer; and felony possession of a stolen vehicle.

According to an arrest warrant, an officer made a vehicle stop on South Main Street after the man was caught speeding at least 15 mph over the speed limit. He was also driving erratically, which led to an accident.

The warrant said the man had methamphetamine and hypodermic needles in the vehicle. Once the vehicle came to a stop, officers became involved in a foot chase.

According to the warrant, the vehicle was a stolen 2002 Ford F-350 pickup.
