Local man faces seven felonies in armed robbery

A 19-year-old Hendersonville man was charged with seven felonies and jailed under $380,000 bond after his arrest in connection with an armed robbery and shooting at a home on Somerset Drive on Tuesday night, Hendersonville police said.

City police detectives had been working on catching two suspects in the incident since it was reported at about 7:30 p.m.

Based on the ongoing investigation detectives identified one of the two. Christopher Tre Bradley of Hendersonville was arrested Thursday by the North Carolina Highway Patrol after a traffic stop on Dermid Avenue off Duncan Hill Road. Bradley has been charged with one count of assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury, three counts of kidnapping and three counts of armed robbery. One of the three victims was shot in the ankle. He was treated at the hospital and released, said Lt. Chris LeRoy. 

"There were two suspects," LeRoy said. "We've got some leads and we're still looking" for the second suspect. He was not sure whether the Highway Patrol stopped Bradley's vehicle for a traffic violation or because of the information on the suspects the police department had sent out.

He was jailed in the Henderson County Detention Facility under a $380,000 secured bond.

Currently the investigation is ongoing and detectives are following investigative leads developed from the crime scene and leads developed during the investigation to identify the second perpetrator of these crimes. If anyone has any information regarding the investigation they are asked to contact the Hendersonville Police Department or Henderson County CrimeStoppers at 828-697-STOP.
