The sheriff's office said Croom was in a stolen car out of Edgecombe County. Law officers pursued him that evening until the chase ended near NC 124 and Eagles Road in Pinetops.
Despite searches of the area and messages to area inhabitants to stay alert, the suspect wasn't found.

Greene County deputies and Farmville police officers assisted with that fruitless search.
But two days later, state troopers caught up with Croom in Beaufort County.
He is now facing charges out of Edgecombe County for first-degree burglary, larceny of a motor vehicle, and two counts of financial theft.
