Charlotte man arrested in death of pregnant woman in Ballantyne

A 22-year-old Charlotte man suspected in the robbery and killing of a pregnant Charlotte woman was apprehended early Monday afternoon.

Police in Fayetteville arrested Mark Cox at a friend’s house more than two days after police say he robbed the Flying Biscuit on Rea Road just north of the state line.

The victim, 25-year-old Danielle Watson, was killed and her body dumped in a nearby dumpster.

Also Monday, the 911 dispatcher who took the call from the victim’s fiance was suspended after a mix up of the following conversation led police to the wrong place — ultimately taking them SIX HOURS to respond to the call.

The 911 call was made by Watson’s fiance, who called police two hours after Watson was expected home, with his calls and text messages going unanswered.
