What to know about a Mooresville charge
Your court date may be in Mooresville or in Statesville. Read the location on your citation or the eCourts Portal. If you need to pay, file, or get a copy of a document, plan on Statesville, because Government Center South has no Clerk’s office.
Lake Norman brings a charge many people do not expect: boating while impaired. Under G.S. 75A-10(b1), it is a crime to operate a vessel underway while impaired or with an alcohol concentration of 0.08 or more. It is a separate offense from DWI, with its own procedures, and should be handled with that in mind.
DWI checking stations
North Carolina law (G.S. 20-16.3A) lets officers run DWI checking stations, but only under a written policy and a pattern for which vehicles are stopped that is set in advance. A checkpoint that does not follow those rules can be challenged in court.
Police video
Body camera and dash camera video is not a public record in North Carolina. Under G.S. 132-1.4A, a person shown in a recording may ask the agency to let them view it, and getting a copy released requires a court order. A defense lawyer can ask the court to order release when the video matters to the case.

Mooresville FAQs
Is my Mooresville case in Mooresville or Statesville?
Iredell County hears cases in both places. Some are set at Government Center South, 610 East Center Avenue in Mooresville; others at the Hall of Justice in Statesville. Your citation or the eCourts Portal shows the location. Clerk services are only in Statesville.
Is boating while impaired on Lake Norman the same as DWI?
No. Boating while impaired is a separate crime under G.S. 75A-10(b1). It applies to operating a vessel underway while impaired or with an alcohol concentration of 0.08 or more. The procedures and consequences differ from a DWI, so tell your lawyer exactly where and how you were stopped.
How do I contact the Mooresville Police Department?
The Mooresville Police Department is at 2847 Charlotte Highway, and the main number is (704) 664-3311. For a report, have the date, location, and any case number from your paperwork ready. If police kept property or towed a car, ask the department how to get it back. In an emergency, call 911.
