The Lee County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a kidnapping that occurred on Nicholson Rd. in Lee County. William Powell reported to the Lee County Sheriff’s Office that his daughter, Angelica Powell, 21, was taken from his residence on Nicholson Rd. by Lewis Marvin Fulton, 29, as she was sitting in her vehicle. While investigating the kidnapping, a detective spotted Lewis Fulton’s vehicle. After chasing Mr. Fulton into Harnett, Moore and Chatham counties, Mr. Fulton’s vehicle was disabled on Walter Bright Rd., located in Chatham County, after deputies deployed stop sticks. Mr. Fulton then jumped from the vehicle and ran into nearby woods. The victim, Angelica Powell was located, uninjured, inside the vehicle. Lewis Marvin Fulton remains at large at this time. Warrants have been obtained on Mr. Fulton for Kidnapping, assault on a female, larceny of a motor vehicle, possession of a stolen motor vehicle, speeding to elude arrest, and failure to register as a sex offender.

Wednesday, Lee County deputies and agents with the State Bureau of Investigation learned that Fulton was hiding out in a room at the Budget Inn on Hawkins Avenue. Lt. Van Holly of the Lee County Sheriff’s Office said Fulton was hit with the sex offender charge because he’d allegedly moved without alerting the sheriff’s office of the change.Fulton was the focus of controversy in Sanford in 2007 when he was being considered as a featured potter for the city’s ARToberFest celebration that October. The decision drew ire from some in the community because of his criminal record, having pleaded guilty to taking indecent liberties with a child and served prison time for the offense in the past. Fulton eventually withdrew from the festival.
Holly said Wednesday that the state Highway Patrol will charge Fulton in coming days with several traffic violations stemming from the chase. Fulton was jailed without bond
