SALINE CO.—Family members of Aaron Rector are relieved today when, as of yesterday, May 21, 2013, they learned that Aaron, 16, would not be charged with auto theft that occurred over the weekend.
Rector was with a group of men/boys who targeted auto owners over the weekend in the Raleigh/Eldorado area, much like what happened about a year ago (and in which Rector was involved), and took many vehicles on joyrides after allegedly breaking and entering them with intent, evidently, to steal them.
Aaron Rector, who has an extensive juvenile record, went to court yesterday morning at 10 a.m. and was charged with “being in the auto” when the others allegedly stole it (we’ll get the exact wording in the print version). He is currently on parole for the incident that occurred last year; as a result of this, it was determined that the boy would go on an ankle monitor and be sent home until further advisement of the court. He was NOT charged with stealing any of the vehicles; however, we’ll see who all does, if any, get charged with said crime.
