Mooresville, NC – On Saturday, August 2, 2025, Mooresville Police responded to multiple incidents resulting in three arrests related to assault and weapons charges.
Officers were first dispatched to 132 Meadow Hill Circle for a welfare check after a caller, identified as Stephen Johnson, expressed concern for the safety of a female acquaintance at the location. Upon arrival, officers located the woman, who showed visible signs of having been assaulted. First responders provided medical assistance at the scene.
While officers were still addressing the initial call, a second report came in regarding a disturbance involving a weapon at 429 East Plaza Drive. Callers reported that one individual was threatening another with a handgun. When officers arrived, they encountered Stephen Christopher Johnson—the original caller from the first incident—and another individual, Brett Patrick Moir.
