RALEIGH -- Police charged Mark Anthony Rollins, 37, of Raleigh, with assault with a deadly weapon Saturday night after they said he struck a neighbor with a pipe on Church Street.

Police also charged Rollins, of 615 Church St., with damaging a table and the frame of a front door, with owning a dog that bit the neighbor and with allowing a dog to run loose.
