Let’s take a look at some of the stories that have caught my eye over the last week… and let’s do it on Monday!
Here comes the famous QuickHits! Big Board…
- The former Henry County deputy who shot his neighbor (then passed out in the guy’s recliner) has filed a civil suit against a paramedic for loading him up with fluids before the incident.
- In a very rare courtroom event, a preliminary hearing on a Greensville County man’s first-degree murder charge gets the charge reduced to voluntary manslaughter and the defendant released on bond.
- Back in 2014, a Greensville County deputy died in a car crash because he couldn’t get cell phone service to call for help. Verizon’s response to build more cell towers to increase coverage? “No.”
- The Patrick County school board member who picked up a DWI charge in Mt. Airy, NC has her case continued until November (?!) because her blood sample hasn’t been analyzed yet.
- A Winston-Salem man is shot in a parking lot, then gets arrested for drug, weapon and traffic violations trying to get away. Heh.
- A Franklin County man is charged with attempting to solicit a murder two weeks before he beat up his intended target.
- South Boston’s YMCA is being sued by their former director for back pay, yet the town is considering giving the Y $25,000 for capital improvements.
- A Goldsboro woman sold her freezer at a yard sale. She just forgot to take her mother’s dead body out of it. Say, That’s Odd.
And on that one, we’re stopping. There’s no way I can top that. That’s eight Monday reading assignments for you.
