Update12 (12:50 p.m., Monday):  

Robert Lee Strother had his first appearance in court this morning and is now being held at the W.E. “Billy” Smith Detention Center in Kinston. Today’s appearance was the first for Mr. Strother; he was assigned a public defender during the hearing. 

He was treated and released at a local hospital on Sunday after being taken into custody Saturday night near a residence on Banks School Road. He eluded arrest for nearly 48 hours inside a perimeter on Kennedy Home Road before a 911 call to officials. He was in the custody of the Lenoir County Sheriff’s Office only 15 minutes after that call. 

Since the manhunt ended in an officer-involved shooting, the State Bureau of Investigation has been called in to conduct an investigation.
