In Salisbury Police reports

Possible child abuse

After a two-year-old was taken to an area hospital over the weekend, law enforcement was contacted to investigate the injuries as a possible sexual assault.

Concerned family members reportedly took the child to the Novant Health Rowan Medical Center on Friday around 8 a.m. After examining the child, hospital staff subsequently contacted the Salisbury Police Department.

The child was referred to Brenner Children’s Hospital in Winston Salem so that a rape kit could be administered.

High-speed pursuit

A motorcyclist reportedly reached speeds in excess of 150 mph in an attempt to evade law enforcement on northbound Interstate 85, before slowing down, crashing and attempting to flee on foot.

Christopher Serrano, 29, is charged with felony fleeing following the incident.

The chase began around noon on Saturday. Rowan County Sheriff’s deputies attempted to initiate a pullover of Serrano who was operating a Suzuki GSX 1300R Hayabusa motorcycle. Pursuing officers dropped back from the chase of Serrano around mile marker 77 when they reached dangerously high speeds.

However, a report came in shortly afterward of a single motorcycle that had wrecked near the off-ramp by Long Ferry Road at mile marker 81. When officers arrived, they found that the motorcyclist had abandoned the bike and fled on foot.

An individual matching Serrano’s description was spotted at the 7-Eleven on Long Ferry Road and was ultimately taken into custody.
