Darik James Norris, 37, has been cleared for felony counts of larceny by an employee and obtaining property by false pretenses. Investigators say the decision to drop charges was arrived at due to credibility issues with the person who filed the complaint against Norris. “Basically, I wanted to tell the city of Dunn that I did not do this,” Norris said. “My name has been tarnished with the hotels for the last nine months and I have not been able to get a job."
