Warrant reveals new details about NC police officer’s accused misdeeds against a woman

An arrest warrant revealed new details about a Mooresville police officer charged Tuesday with misdemeanors related to allegations of misconduct involving a woman he met.

Officer David Stephen Brashear, 45, of Mount Holly, is accused of “deleting digital evidence from a Town of Mooresville cell phone” as another Mooresville police officer conducted a criminal investigation involving Brashear, according to the warrant.

Mooresville Police Capt. Jaime Quinn obtained the warrant on Tuesday. Brashear was arrested on misdemeanor charges of resist, delay and obstruct and accessing computers.

The warrant was filed at the Iredell County Courthouse in Statesville.

Brashear is accused of accessing a computer “to query a state-owned law enforcement database to obtain the personal information of an individual for personal use and without legal justification,” the warrant states.

Brashear met the woman at a local establishment, according to a town of Mooresville news release Tuesday. Police didn’t name the establishment.

The incident occurred Oct. 9, according to the warrant.

“This may not be an isolated incident,” police officials said in the news release, urging anyone with more information about Brashear to call Quinn at 704-664-3311.

Police have declined to say if Brashear is still employed with the town, and if so, whether he is on paid or unpaid suspension.

Brashear is free on a $10,000 unsecured bond, according to the warrant.
