ALBEMARLE — On Tuesday afternoon, the Albemarle Police Department announced that it has made an arrest after shots were fired at its headquarters building and an unmarked police vehicle on Sunday morning.
James Edgar Amaendus Kindell, age 38 of Badin, was arrested in New London by the APD and the Stanly County Sheriff’s Office.
Kindell is currently being held at the Stanly County Jail on the following charges: discharging a firearm into an occupied dwelling; injury to real property; injury to personal property; and discharging firearm inside the city limits.
In 2020, Kindell was charged for firing shots targeting the former APD headquarters on Second Street; that case is still pending court proceedings.
On Monday, the department initially announced in a media release that its headquarters building at 155 W. South Street in Albemarle had been struck by a bullet during the previous morning at approximately 5:17 a.m.
The APD confirmed that there were no injuries and opened an investigation into the shooting with a person of interest identified in the case.
More information regarding this case will be reported as the information becomes publicly available.
