Police were involved in a foot chase Monday after two teens stole a mo-ped from the Rowan Public Library, ditched it behind Walmart and ran off behind the store.

Salisbury Police arrested Jalon Jacques Adkins, 16, of the 1100 block of Crosby Street, Salisbury, and a 14-year-old juvenile. Adkins was charged with felony motor vehicle theft and misdemeanor resist, obstruct, delay an officer.

The victim told police she was inside the library for less than five minutes. When she came out her mo-ped was gone. Witnesses spotted two teens on the mo-ped, which led police to Walmart. A report said the teens ran near Harrel Street and were then spotted walking back up the street. The boys ran when police approached. They were caught a short distance away in some tall shrubs in the 100 block of Reamer Circle.

He has since been released from the Rowan County Detention Center under a $1,000 secured bond.
