Let’s take a look at some of the stories from around the region that have caught my eye in the past week. Sunday is QuickHits day!
Let’s bring on the Big Board!
- A father is arrested at the cemetery after his son’s funeral (for trying to pick up his dead son’s prescription three days after he died). The dead man’s brother got away before the sheriff’s office was able to catch him.
- The well-planned details are finally out on last year’s $4.8 million gold truck robbery on I-95.
- Greensboro’s troubled civil rights museum is now two years behind on its property taxes.
- Seven horses were rescued from “deplorable conditions” in Franklin County last week.
- The Halifax County Historical Society comes up with enough money to save the Cotton Mill Tower.
- 5th District Congressional Republican candidates come to Brookneal for a Q&A forum.
- Four fire departments work together to put out a tractor-trailer fire.
- A Thomasville, NC high school student is arrested for making a false mass violence threat to a high school and is under a $20,000 bond.
And GOOD! on that last one. That’s eight reading assignments for your Sunday afternoon. Or evening. Or maybe Monday. Heh.
