ALAMANCE COUNTY, N.C. — A Wake County man is facing felony charges for sex crimes against an Alamance County minor, according to deputies.
They said around 3:50 a.m. Tuesday, deputies responded to a 'suspicious vehicle' call at the intersection of Northdrop Drive and Solstice Drive in southeast Alamance County.
When they arrived, they discovered two people inside the vehicle. The driver was identified as Chase Alexander Vines, 22, and a 14-year-old girl.
Investigation revealed that there were inappropriate sexual activities believed to have happened in the vehicle, according to deputies.
Vines was arrested and taken to the Alamance County Detention Center. He was charged with felony indecent liberties with a minor and misdemeanor contributing to the delinquency of a child.
