Snow Camp man arrested on felony indecent liberties, firearm possession charges

Charles William Heavener II, 43, of Snow Camp, was arrested and charged after Alamance County sheriff’s deputies investigated a late-night report of an alleged sexual assault in the 7000 block of Coble Mill Road. Authorities say Heavener faces felony indecent liberties with a child and felony possession of a firearm by a felon, and he was held under a $200,000 secured bond.

“On Monday, Feb. 9, 2026, at 10:22 p.m., sheriff’s deputies responded to the 7000 block of Coble Mill Road in Snow Camp after a caller requested a deputy be dispatched to take a report of an alleged sexual assault. During the investigation, deputies identified the suspect as Charles William Heavener II,” ABC45 reported. “At the completion of the investigation on Tuesday, Feb. 10, 2026, deputies arrested Heavener and transported him to the Alamance County Detention Center.” That reporting and additional accounts published by local outlets list both felony charges and the $200,000 secured bond.

Court records referenced in The Times-News indicate the alleged victim is under 16, and the sheriff’s office has not released the child’s exact age. The sheriff’s office described the matter as active and ongoing and warned that additional charges are possible. The agency’s media release directed anyone with information to “call the Sheriff’s Office and speak with a member of the Special Victims Unit at 336-570-6300.”

For residents of Snow Camp and surrounding Alamance County communities, the case touches on multiple community concerns: the safety of children, access to timely reporting and investigation, and the intersection of firearm offenses with other serious crimes. Allegations involving minors require sensitivity and confidentiality; local trust in law enforcement response and in victim services is crucial to both immediate safety and long-term recovery for survivors. The presence of a separate firearms charge also raises enforcement and prevention questions that affect neighborhoods across the county.

Public-health and social-service systems play a role when allegations of sexual abuse arise. Trauma-informed medical care, forensic exams, mental-health support and child-protective services are essential to reduce long-term harms, yet access and awareness of those services can vary across Alamance County. Community leaders and health providers often point to prevention, school-based education, and clear reporting pathways as ways to protect young people and support families.

The arrest does not determine guilt; Heavener is accused and the case will proceed through the court system. As the investigation continues, law enforcement is seeking tips from the public and expects possible additional charges. Anyone with relevant information is asked to contact the Alamance County Sheriff’s Office Special Victims Unit at 336-570-6300 or call 911. Court filings and future hearings will clarify the formal charges and next steps in the case.
