Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office
CHEROKEE COUNTY — A Murphy man has been arrested on multiple charges related to weapons violations and failure to comply with sex offender registry requirements, according to the Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO).
The CCSO announced the arrest of 44-year-old Robert Gee Stalcup following their response to a report of shots fired on Willow Tree Lane in the Ranger community.
After arriving on scene, they say deputies secured the scene and conducted interviews with witnesses, where they identified Robert Gee Stalcup as the individual involved.
Stalcup, who has a prior felony conviction associated with his status as an aggravated sex offender, was taken into custody without incident and charged with Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon.
The CCSO says further investigation revealed that Stalcup was not residing at his registered address on Gold Branch Estates Lane. Instead, he had been staying on Willow Tree Lane for a period exceeding what is permitted by North Carolina law without notifying the registering sheriff of his change of address.
As a result, he was additionally charged with Failure to Notify the Registering Sheriff of a Change of Address.
Stalcup was brought before a North Carolina Magistrate.
He is currently being held in the Cherokee County Detention Center without bond.
