   FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. -   
   A man wanted for shooting three people early Saturday morning   
   was found Tuesday hiding in a clothes dryer in a Fayetteville   
   home -- but his dreadlocks still hung from the machine.   
      
   Luther Gatling, 23, of Teague Street in Fayetteville, was found   
   Tuesday morning at a house on Zabell Drive when officers   
   searched a home and noticed his dreadlocks sticking out of the   
   dryer.   
      
   Gatling was wanted on charges of assault with a deadly weapon   
   inflicting serious injury and a felony violation of his   
   probation in connection with three shootings on Sept. 6.   
      
   Police arrested Corienne Ladwon Whitfield, 21, of 4413 Zabell   
   Drive, and charged her with harboring or aiding certain persons.   
   Police said she was released on an unsecured bond.   
      
   Police are searching for Ryan Detrell Robinson, 22, who is   
   wanted for questioning in the shootings. Police said Robinson is   
   not wanted on any criminal charges and detectives only wish to   
   speak with him.   
      
   Police said around 3:19 a.m. on Saturday, a dark-colored SUV   
   entered the parking lot of 4943 Bragg Boulevard and hit the   
   curb. Patrons in the parking lot began to exchange words with   
   the driver of the SUV when someone inside the vehicle opened   
   fire, police said. Investigators believe Gatling and another   
   person were in the SUV.   
      
   One person in the parking lot was shot in the leg and another   
   was grazed by a bullet, police said.   
      
   At around 3:32 a.m., police said a taxicab driver was dropping   
   off a customer near B and Link streets. A dark-colored SUV   
   pulled up next to the cab, and the SUV driver said something to   
   the cab driver. Then a passenger in the SUV pointed a handgun at   
   the cab, police said.   
      
   The cab driver saw the gun and drove away. Police said several   
   shots were fired at the cab, some penetrating the vehicle, but   
   no one was injured.   
      
   And then just after 4 a.m., police said a woman was standing in   
   the front yard of her residence in the 800 block of E. Orange   
   Street when a dark-colored SUV drove into the yard. A passenger   
   in the SUV shot the woman in the leg, police said.   
      
   Investigators believe the same SUV was involved in the three   
   shootings. Police said the SUV used in the shootings was   
   recovered Saturday.   
      
   The driver and a passenger of the SUV at that time were detained   
   and questioned.   
      
   Anyone with information concerning the investigation or the   
   whereabouts of Robinson is asked to contact Sergeant G. Womble   
   with the Fayetteville Police Department at (910) 916-2764 or   
   Crimestoppers at (910) 483-8477.
