New judge Sutton promises to balance duty with public care

Pitt County’s newest judge said that she is grateful to voters for entrusting her with the responsibility of the bench and that her intention going forward is to balance legal duty with public care. “The law functions to serve the people. It seems to me in our current political climate, perhaps there has been a neglect of serving people,” said Democrat Watisi Sutton, who unseated two-term Republican judge Daniel Hines Entzminger in the Nov. 3 midterm election 34,518 to 28,305 votes. The total includes provisional and absentee ballots counted Tuesday, but not change from Friday’s canvass. She will serve a four-year term as one of six judges on the District Court bench in Pitt County, which makes up the state 3rd Judicial District. She brings 26 years of legal experience to the post, with her experiences spanning prosecution, public defense, civil aid and municipal government, she said. Sutton’s career includes work as an assistant district attorney in the 2nd Judicial District, managing attorney for Legal Aid’s New Bern office, a town attorney for Williamston and 16 years in a private practice in her hometown of Washington. Within her private practice, Sutton handled criminal defense, family law, civil matters, bankruptcy and

Tethering issue firmly back before commissioners

While last week’s ribbon cutting signaled progress for the county animal control efforts. The question that has been hanging around the commissioners neck for the past decade, whether or not to adopt a no tethering ordinance has yet to be addressed. Although pleas from some residents and PETA representatives to adopt a no tethering ordinance have been constant, the commissioners have not addressed the issue since March. However, the issue of Bertie County dogs has landed back on the commissions plate. PETA Director of Community Relations Rachel Bellis appeared before the commissioners last week, once again presenting photographs of emaciated, tether torn canine. Bellis went on to ask the commissioners to adopt an ordinance. “PETA fieldworkers found the approximately 6-week-old puppies in September on a Bertie County property, where their mother, Hazel, is kept confined outside,” Bellis said. “The owners told us that Hazel had ‘gotten loose’ and given birth to six puppies, one of whom had already died. “Of the surviving puppies, two were lying inside her doghouse on the verge of death due to a flea infestation that had so severely depleted their blood supply that their gums were white,” she added. “Their owners allowed PETA to take

Packed meeting precedes vote on 133-lot Briarwood subdivision

It was standing room only at the Perquimans County Planning Board’s regular meeting Oct. 10. The board heard nearly two hours of comments from a full house of residents before approving a zoning map amendment for Briarwood Estates, a proposed 133-lot subdivision on 214 acres off Woodville Road in Hertford. The board includes five members, but member Thelma Finch-Copeland was not present and did not vote. Some residents called on the board to stop the subdivision at the outset, arguing that even a preliminary rezoning recommendation would create a “spiderweb” effect, opening the door to more high-density development, disrupting Perquimans’ rural peace and further straining utilities and school capacity. Others asked the board to table the vote in the name of “responsible growth.” Several endorsed the subdivision on the reputation of its applicant alone. The board ultimately found the proposed subdivision consistent with surrounding land uses and recommended rezoning the property, in the 300 to 400 block of Woodville Road, from Rural Agriculture District (RA) to Residential & Agricultural District (RA-32). RA-32 zoning allows major subdivisions; RA does not. Board members emphasized that their vote is a preliminary step in a long process that rezoning goes through before it appears

Stantonsburg property rezoned, annexed for 500 homes

The Greenville City Council on Thursday rezoned and annexed nearly 196 acres of property along Stantonsburg Road west of town despite concerns neighboring residents had about flooding and the impact on their properties. The project developer, Walton North Carolina LLC, requested the property be rezoned from rural residential under Pitt County jurisdiction to residential agricultural under city jurisdiction for the construction of about 500 homes. After debate, the council unanimously approved the rezoning request for the property, located along along the southern right-of-way of Stantonsburg Road about 200 feet west of Ellwood Drive; it then approved the annexation. In other business, the council also rezoned a .16 acre storefront property on the southern right-of-way Dickinson Avenue, about 60 feet southwest of Ficklen Street, from downtown commercial fringe to downtown commercial. It annexed 5 acres located along the southern right-of-way of Dickinson Avenue about 400 feet west of Frog Level Road. The property is owned by Greenville Utilities Commission, which plans to locate a water tower on the property. It also approved a municipal agreement with the N.C. Department of Transportation for a citywide traffic signal upgrade. The project, which is expected to begin in 2028, will cost nearly $15.5 million.
