N.C. man accused of stealing ambulance, killing ‘innocent’ woman facing additional charges
ROBESON COUNTY, NC (WMBF) - A man is now facing additional charges in connection with what the Robeson County sheriff called a “senseless act.”
Deputies with the Robeson County Sheriff’s Office arrested Cheyenne Woods, 36, of Red Springs, on Saturday.
Woods was originally charged with first-degree murder, robbery with a dangerous weapon, possession of a firearm by a felon, possession of a stolen firearm, felony assault on EMS personnel, and eight counts of discharging a firearm into occupied property.
On Sunday, the sheriff’s office says Woods was additionally charged with assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, malicious conduct of a prisoner by throwing, emitting, or projecting bodily fluids, robbery with a dangerous weapon, and second-degree kidnapping.

These charges stem from a chain of events on Saturday after emergency medical services were called to Chavis Road in the Maxton area for a medical emergency, according to a news release from the sheriff’s office.
EMS took Woods to the hospital when Woods flashed a gun at two EMS workers and stole the ambulance, according to the sheriff’s office.
Woods was then involved in a collision with another vehicle, the sheriff’s office said.
Woods got out of the ambulance, went up to the other vehicle and allegedly shot Marie Locklear, 74, of Red Springs, who later died.
Anyone with information related to this case is asked to contact the Robeson County Sheriff’s Office at 910-671-3100.
