NC's e-bike law changes Dec. 1. How western Wake towns are responding

Apex is moving toward new e-bike rules that could expand helmet requirements for younger riders and clarify where electric bicycles can travel. The proposed changes come as a new North Carolina law takes effect Dec. 1, changing which e-bikes are permitted on roads and greenways. The new law also will require helmets for Class 3 e-bike riders and passengers under 18. Towns can also require helmets for riders and passengers under 18 on Class 1 and 2 e-bikes, but the new law does not mandate those additional requirements statewide. A separate, existing state law already requires bicycle helmets for anyone under 16. Apex’s Public Safety Committee on Thursday, Nov. 5, backed limited amendments to existing bicycle regulations, rather than a comprehensive e-bike ordinance. “Making huge regulatory changes at this stage may be the wrong thing. We may be over-regulating,” council member Ed Gray told The News & Observer after the meeting. But Gray also supports a uniform helmet requirement for younger riders, saying it would be easier to understand and enforce. The Town Council must approve any amendments, which it could do as soon as Dec. 17. The new rules Under the new state law, Class 1 bikes provide motor

Troy McDuffie wins race for Cumberland County sheriff

Democrat Troy McDuffie, the former longtime police chief in Spring Lake, trounced Republican LaRue Windham for the office of Cumberland County sheriff, according to unofficial results. McDuffie, 62, got more than twice as many votes as Windham, 65, with 62,828 votes or 66.96% to Windham's 30,999 votes or 33.04%. McDuffie won the Democratic primary in March over three opponents, including Sheriff Johnathan Morgan, who was appointed to the office in June 2025 after the retirement of former Sheriff Ennis Wright. McDuffie's law enforcement career has spanned more than 35 years. His first job in law enforcement was with the Fayetteville Police Department, where he served 16 years before becoming chief deputy in Hoke County and then chief of police in Red Springs. In 2009, he became the police chief in Spring Lake before retiring in 2017. Previous reporting: Cumberland sheriff hopefuls weigh in on crime, recruitment, transparency Eight months later, he came out of retirement to serve as Spring Lake's interim police chief before taking the job permanently in 2018.

Missing boa constrictor traveled 1 mile in 4 weeks – to a chicken farm, NC man says

The 7-foot boa constrictor reported missing Oct. 5 in rural North Carolina has been found, and it managed to slither about a mile in four weeks, according to searchers. Hoke County Animal Shelter in Raeford confirmed the recovery in a Nov. 4 social media post, noting the snake was found by a homeowner and removed by an animal wrangler known as “Mountain Matt” George. “We are happy to report that this slithery escape artist is safely secured and officially on its way home,” the shelter wrote. Farmer Richard Wood is credited with cornering the snake on his property, after initially mistaking it for a missing fence post, Carolina Weekly News reports. The location is a poultry farm, and the snake was found lounging out in the open, near manure pile, George said in a video shared on social media. “The snake was not harmed by the cold weather. It’s in good health,” he says. “I can’t tell if it has eaten recently, but it’s sure not in bad condition.” Boa constrictors are not native to the United States and do not tolerate cold weather. Temperatures at night in Hoke County fallen to as low as 39 degrees in recent weeks,
