Cameron Stewart

A 19-year-old Davidson man wanted on domestic abuse and larceny charges was taken into custody Tuesday. Cameron Regnard Stewart turned himself in after police discovered he was hiding out at a home off Lasalle Street in Charlotte.

Mr. Stewart was being held this morning at Mecklenburg County Jail in Charlotte. Charges include communicating threats, violation of a protective order, assault on a female, and damaging real and personal property. He is due in court today (Wednesday).

Davidson police had issued an alert and photo of Mr. Stewart on Monday, asking for help in finding him. North Mecklenburg Crimestoppers also had offered a reward. His last known address had been on Potts Street, on the West Side.

Detective Steve Ingram said early Wednesday police were helped by a citizen who tipped them off about where Mr. Stewart could be found.

“We received a tip that the suspect was hiding out in Charlotte near Lasalle Street. We obtained a contact number and began a discussion with the suspect. We finally convinced the suspect to turn himself in,” Detective Ingram said.

Davidson police met Mr. Stewart around midday Tuesday, along with officers from Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department. The CMPD officers took him to Mecklenburg County jail. County inmate records show he was processed  at the jail at 1:47 p.m. Tuesday.

Police had been concerned because Mr. Stewart has a history of violence, and is considered dangerous.

He has been arrested four times previously this year, in January and July in Davidson and in May and August in Charlotte. Several charges involved assaults on a single female victim. Others included larceny and possession of stolen property, Detective Ingram said.
