LUMBERTON — A Robeson County man faces charges for a Sunday morning fire at a neighbor’s home, as well as an arson two months ago, according to the Robeson County Sheriff’s Office.

Charles Nelson Oxendine, 48, of the Chapel area, was charged on Tuesday with second-degree arson in the fire at the Oakgrove Church Road home of Brantly Allen after being arrested on Monday for second-degree trespassing, assault and misdemeanor breaking and entering at that same residence, according to sheriff’s Lt. Brian Duckworth.

Allen returned home at about 1 a.m. on Sunday to find Oxendine on his property, Duckworth said. Allen saw the fire, which had been set to the vinyl underpinning, and was able to extinguish the flames, according to Duckworth. He estimated damage to Allen’s home to be about $100.

On Wednesday, Oxendine was charged with burning personal property and burning other structures by sheriff’s Detective Adam Chavis for a fire in May that started in a vehicle and spread to a nearby building, Duckworth said.

‘There are several breaking and enterings and larcenies that he is a suspect in, and we’re hoping people will come forward now that he is out of the picture,” he said.

Oxendine has previously faced charges of breaking and entering, larceny, drug possession, worthless checks and drunk and disorderly conduct.

This man is a loser who clearly has nothing to contribute to society except to steal them blind and set their homes or vehicles on fire. i think it is about time they remove him off the streets, they should have never let him out of prison to start with. He is a boil on the butt of society, always has been and always will be. Robeson County has enough of residents like this so please send him some where else and do us a favor!!

Chapelchick is an obvious product of the Robenson County Public Screwels. Probably from Red Springs.

Happy 236th
Thousands of people were dazzled by the fireworks display at the annual Lumberton Family Fourth celebration at the Lumberton High School football stadium on Tuesday. Many watched the display from parking lots and sidewalks around town and from their own front yards. Before the show, attendees were treated to a performance by the Carolina Breakers, and a stunt by the Army Rangers, who parachuted onto the football field.

A step in the right direction. The funds should be eliminated and either reflected in lower taxes or made a part of the general fund. While there is more transparency with the voting, the funds can still be used to buy votes, and that's a problem.

While I know this mans family is in mourning, the unavoidable fact is that bad choices were made and he unfortunately reaped the consequences. That's one BIG problem we have today....no one wants to accept the responsibility for their actions, but looks for any and everything else to blame. So far I've seen racism blamed in this article (I don't know this man, nor his race, nor did the article mention it), and I've see "he was fun loving". Got news for you...being out at 2 in the morning, drunk and running from the law is nobody's idea of fun. For you family members, you could best serve your relative's memory by starting a campaign on the dangers of alcohol abuse and DUI. Then you will get the respect you are screaming for, and perhaps your loved ones death won't have been in vain.

This can bring some problems..Living in Nevada, where we had NO speed limits on the open highways for years, Was a mixed bag. We got somewhere fast,,,and the accidents, when they happened were almost invariably fatal ones. In NC, where you have probably 50 inches of rain per year, it would be disastrous. A car going 75 on a road with a tiny amount of moisture, will hydroplane..making that car a 4,000 pound mis-guided missile. I have been in a hydroplaning car at 35 mph...It is scary..They better think about this B4 doing it..cause you know, and I know, some folks will go that speed limit..All such laws have "prudent speed" written into it..but somehow, it always happens anyway..

This is bunk. For all the supposed good it has done, the negative impacts far outweigh it. I love how she says the K-3 class sizes are smaller as 4th graders from Tanglewood are being transferred to Carroll Middle School. I'd like to know where this money is really going. Is it going to the Universities, who raise tuition rates almost annually and shouldn't get any lottery dollars? Schools seemed to be functioning better before all of the supposed lottery dollars, how in the world did they do it? (sarcasm)

While I can understand that Lottery Director would want to defend the program that provides generous salary, to convince me or any other logical person, she will need to prove that the $23.5 million invested in the lottery by county residents in one year was returned to us in an equal or greater amount.. She cannot do that, because it was not and never will be.
