You can’t hold anyone with a gun and kick them after a traffic accident if they are trying to flee. I’m pretty sure that law is universal in the United States of America.

Leaving the scene of an accident is a crime. We actually can detain someone suspected of committing a crime. It appears the law in NC even allows for that.

He (allegedly) pulled a gun on the PASSENGERS.

What crime do you contend that the PASSENGERS committed? It was the driver who fled the scene.

Some crimes, yes, under some circumstances.

§15A-404. Detention of offenders by private persons.

(b) When Detention Permitted. - A private person may detain another person when he has probable cause to believe that the person detained has committed in his presence:

(1) A felony,
(2) A breach of the peace,
(3) A crime involving physical injury to another person, or
(4) A crime involving theft or destruction of property.

(c) Manner of Detention. - The detention must be in a reasonable manner considering the offense involved and the circumstances of the detention.

Let's assume (for purposes of discussion) that this statute DOES allow Zebulon Man to "detain" the two hombres in question. The question REMAINS whether he is entitled to utilize deadly force (a handgun) to effect that detention.

The kidnapping charges would tend to support an argument of "no."

It might be instructive to examine when an LEO is entitled to use deadly force to arrest/detain a person. Secion15A-401(d)(2) addresses that question:

quote:

---

A law-enforcement officer is justified in using deadly physical force upon another person (to detain/arrest a person) only when it is or appears to be reasonably necessary thereby:

a. To defend himself or a third person from what he reasonably believes to be the use or imminent use of deadly physical force;
b. To effect an arrest or to prevent the escape from custody of a person who he reasonably believes is attempting to escape by means of a deadly weapon, or who by his conduct or any other means indicates that he presents an imminent threat of death or serious physical injury to others unless apprehended without delay; or
c. To prevent the escape of a person from custody imposed upon him as a result of conviction for a felony.

Undoubtedly.

Again, weighing the credibility of witnesses is a jury question.

fascinating.

I cited you to the North Carolina statute. Please outline how the use of deadly force was justified within the terms of that statute. TIA
