Let’s wrap up the month with a special Tuesday edition of QuickHits. We’ll take a look at stories around the region that have caught my eye over the past week.
If the QuickHits are coming, we’ve got to have a Big Board!
- Goodbye, Earl! Hello, Earl! Former Halifax County resident Earl Womack is ordered to appear in court to explain why he hasn’t paid back over $3100 in restitution for stealing from the Halifax County school system.
- Charges of shooting a shotgun at a Martinsville man (and the pellets hitting the newspaper office) are certified to circuit court.
- You can’t expect Kathy Farley to attend her Halifax County trial for theft charges when she’s in a Florida federal prison.
- Henry County’s Board of Supervisors are told that the I-73 project is dead…
- … and State Senator Bill Stanley says “Horsecrap!” to that.
- Burlington’s downtown historical markers have a lot of information, but a lot of that information is wrong.
- Driving directly at a deputy who’s trying to arrest you gets you charged with attempted capital murder.
- Bobby Roach does a great job in building a new website for the Gretna Merchants Association.
- Rocky Mount’s Goodwill hosts a prom for 55 of their clients.
- Happy Trails, Ralph Ketner!
That’s ten Tuesday reading assignments for you, and we’ll stop right there. We’ve got more coming up here on SouthsideCentral!
