On October 10, 2025, the Randolph County Sheriff’s Office responded to Fork Creek Mill Rd., Seagrove, in reference to a welfare check. Deputies were able to retrieve the victims, but Tekko Ahmad Harrington had barricaded himself inside the home and refused to come out of the house or respond to the deputies’ commands. As it was safer to have all parties leave, deputies ensured all involved parties left the premises safely and then cleared the scene.
Following the investigation, charges were sought against Harrington for felony assault by strangulation and misdemeanor assault on a female. The magistrate found probable cause and issued a warrant for arrest.
On October 13, 2025, Harrington was located, arrested, and transported to the Randolph County Detention Center, where he was served his warrant. The magistrate issued no bond, due to the charges being domestic in nature. A first appearance was set for October 17, 2025, in Randolph County District Court.
