Let’s get the work week started with some stories that have caught my eye over the past two weeks. It’s QuickHits! time.
As everybody knows, QuickHits! belong on a Big Board. Let’s bring it out!
- The woman who killed a Franklin County teacher while driving drunk finally got indicted last week. The 3-liter box of wine found in her car probably won’t help her at trial.
- The retrial of a Ringgold sex offender results in a plea agreement that doesn’t change his net sentence at all.
- Murder and child abuse charged are filed against a Glade Hill woman in the sad death of a three year old boy she was supposedly taking care of.
- Martinsville’s assistant city manager is back on the job after quadruple heart bypass surgery.
- Headbutting a cop, trying to kick out the patrol car’s back window and threatening to shoot the cops when you get out of jail just isn’t good, but it does lead to a hilarious headbutt fail mugshot.
- Brookneal police are investigating a statutory rape incident from back in August.
- “Broken glass in a classroom” is the mysterious reason given for Park View High School forfeiting a basketball game.
- Don’t you want to buy a house with a 75-foot long pool with three waterfalls for $2,500,000? Oh yeah, it also has a heated driveway.
- A Martinsville man will part of the headlining entertainment on a Carnival Cruise Line ship (after losing 50 pounds in 3 months).
- The Caswell Pines Golf Club has a new owner.
- Over 1/6 of Brookneal Police Department’s December calls for service was for 911 hangups.
- Amy, the Caswell Messenger’s office cat, gets fan mail!
Whew! We miss one week of QuickHits! and end up giving you 12 Monday reading assignments. We’ve got more coming up on SouthsideCentral!
