MACON COUNTY HIT & RUN SUSPECTS
CAPTURED
By Davin Eldridge, Staff Writer
James Fred Hurst
Kathy Faye Nichole Atcheson
Jason Stamey
Mountain authorities have finally caught a pair of suspects believed to have been involved in a near-fatal hit and run incident in Franklin. In the process, they also located a third suspect, Jason Stamey, wanted on unrelated charges. On February 9, somewhere between the hours of 7 and 9 p.m., an unknown vehicle driving along a quiet Macon County road struck a young Jesus Ruiz Soriano and drove away, leaving him severely injured and helpless alongside the road. Days later, authorities named 43-year old James Fred Hurst, and Kathy Faye Nichole (“Nickie”) Atcheson, 22, as “persons of interest” in the case, and began a search to locate them for questioning. “Someone left a young man to possibly die alone on the side of the road Friday night after running him over,” said Macon County Sheriff Robert Holland in an online statement shortly after the Feb. 9 incident. “I hope they thought they hit an animal or something other than a human being... This young man’s family loves him and they deserve to know the truth. Accidents can happen, but failing to do the right thing will only end badly for you or anyone in the vehicle that witnessed it and doesn’t come forward.” Hit & Run continued on page 6

HIT & RUN continued from page 3
Authorities waited for days before tips from the community led them to the suspects hide out. Sheriff Holland, whose deputies assisted the N.C. Highway Patrol with the search, said officers learned where the suspects were hiding out and staked out the abandoned trailer they were in. Hurst and Atcheson were both charged with one felony count of hit-and-run failure to remain at scene of accident causing serious injury, three counts of misdemeanor breaking and entering, two counts of injury to personal property and two counts of misdemeanor first degree trespassing. They received a $20,000 secured bond, and are set to appear in court on March 1. Jason Stamey, 32, of Franklin, was also found at the hideout and taken into custody on unrelated charges, including felony assault by strangulation, possession with intent to sell a schedule II controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia, fleeing to elude arrest with a motor vehicle, reckless driving, wanton disregard, felony assault of a law enforcement officer, serious injury and assault with a deadly weapon on a government official. He was charged at the scene with additional charges for injury to personal property, driving the wrong way on a dual lane, resising a public officer and literring. He was confined to jail under a $500,000 secured bond on the initial charges. The Hit & Run So far, details about the hit and run incident remain scarce to the public. According to The N.C. State Highway Patrol, which is heading up the investigation, Soriano was struck as he was walking along Fulton Road, an old thoroughfare connecting Cullasaja to the equally quiet community of Clark’s Chapel, southeast of Franklin. Offcers said the vehicle that struck Soriano was travelling at “a moderate to high rate of speed.” The incident was called in to 911 by a passing motorist. Soriano was found a short time later and transported to the hospital where he remains in critical condition. Hospital officials and investigators will not comment on the details of his injuries, however sources close to the matter tell Fuzz Busted that he sustained “several severe injuries”

Jesus Ruiz Soriano (pictured top left and below) was the victim of a hit and run on Feb. 9 on Fulton Road in Macon County that left him with severe injuries. Two suspects wanted in connection with the case were taken into police custody on Feb. 16 after a five-day search, charged with felony hit and run and leaving the scene of an accident, among other charges.
to his head, shoulders and body and is currently battling traumatic brain injury. While his injuries needed immediate attention, authorities said, it appeared he was left lying in the road for several minutes before help arrived. Temperatures that night dipped into mid-to-lower twenties. Few other details have been shared. According to N.C. Trooper C.D. Cheeks, Soriano is nineteen-years-old. But sources close to Soriano say he’s actually 21. According to his Facebook page, Soriano (a.k.a. “kilo”) is a native of Oaxaca, Mexico, residing in Highlands. Fulton Road, where he was found injurred, is a two-and-a-half mile stretch of roadway snaking through the countryside of Macon County, lined with old Locusts, Oaks and patches of Bamboo as thick as they are tall. At night, the road can get very dark, offering little visibility for drivers or pedestrians. “It can get to be real hard to see out on that road at night,” said Cheeks. “We can see how whoever was driving might not have seen what happened. Our eyewitness says they saw the taillights of the vehicle, which they think hit the victim. They just kept going and didn’t stop.” Something Suspicious Witnesses identified the vehicle that hit Soriano as a red or maroon vehicle, believed to be a pickup truck. Authorities linked the truck to Hurst and Atcheson through tips from the community. When the couple did not initially come forward for quesitoning, authorities grew suspicious and the tone of the investigation
began to change. On February 16, State Troopers asked Sheriff Holland to run an official wanted release. “Criminal charges have officially been filed by the NCSHP for Felony Hit-AndRun, and Leaving the Scene of an Accident Causing Serious Injury,” it read. It went on to state that investigators had called in the U.S. Marshall’s Service to assist in locating Hurst, but in the end their assistance was not needed. Holland said he intends to go after anyone involved in the hit and run, as well as anyone who helped the suspects hide. “We are fully aware that there are individuals assisting both of these individuals knowing they are evading arrests,” said Sheriff Holland in an online statement while the search ensued. “With the full support of the agencies involved, and our District Attorney Ashley Welch, we intend to file criminal charges against anyone found assisting these two individuals in any form. If you already have assisted then it will be in your best interest to start cooperating now because eventually you too will be wanted and arrested,” Unlike Soriano, unknown to law enforcement until he became a recent HIT & RUN continued on page 10

victim, Hurst is more familiar to officers. Since 2005, he has been convicted in Catawba and Cherokee counties, of various charges, including possession of drug paraphernalia, assaulting an officer, maintaining a place for a controlled substance, contributing to the delinquency of a minor and possession of a schedule II controlled substance. “Survive the Drive” The timing of the hit and run in Macon County happened almost on cue, as if to set the stage for a state wide campaign aimed at avoiding this very tragedy. Just three days after Soriano was hit, the Highway Patrol, along with the Governor’s Highway Safety Program, announced the launch of a new “Survive the Drive” 10
campaign, aimed at highlighting the dangers of speeding and distracted driving on rural roads. It’s all part of a national initiative to reduce injuries and fatalities on rural roadways. According to statistics cited by the Department of Public Safety in a recent press release, most vehicle collisions occur on secondary roadways. “In 2017, the State Highway Patrol responded to 48,789 collisions on secondary roads,” the release states. “Among those collisions, more than 14,000 involved personal injury and 383 resulted in one or more fatalities.” “While five counties have been identified to be the focus of this operation, troopers will actively participate in all 100 counties in an attempt to ensure safe travel for

each person who travels on our state’s roadways,” said Col. Glenn M. McNeill Jr., commander of the State Highway Patrol. “Motorists are encouraged to monitor their speed, avoid driving distracted and never under any circumstance drive while impaired. We also would like to remind motorists to buckle up, in every seat, every time. Through the combined efforts of each organization involved, we will work together to accomplish the shared goal of saving lives across our state.” The campaign will concentrate on highvisibility traffic enforcement on the rural roadways in five counties identified to have high fatality and crash rates, including: Johnston, Harnett, Sampson, Randolph and Cleveland Counties.
