Lawsuit over Harnett County inmate's death ends in $1.2M settlement

County leaders on Tuesday approved the public disclosure of agreements tied to the lawsuit, ending a years-long legal battle over the death of inmate Eric Griffith. The lawsuit from Griffith's estate claims Griffith exhibited clear signs of serious drug withdrawal and other medical concerns when he was arrested for failing to pay a fine. According to the lawsuit, jailers did not report Griffith's condition to the medical staff, offer any medical treatment or medications and failed to follow the detention center's Health Plan.

All American work progresses as Fort Bragg eyes next road project

FORT BRAGG — Work on the All American Freeway continues as Fort Bragg officials tackle another road on post and prepare for the installation's next major project once the All American is complete. Officials provided a brief update on the All American work during a quarterly Community Action Council meeting on Nov. 4. The project, estimated to cost $22 million , will replace the 50-year-old Gruber Road bridge over the All American Freeway and repair areas where the freeway has settled on Fort Bragg, near the Rock Merritt Road exit and freeway between Gruber and Zabitosky roads. Fort Bragg is working with the North Carolina Department of Transportation on the project, which started in July and is expected to take 18 to 24 months to complete. Crews are in the midst of dynamic compaction on the roadway, where a 50,000-pound weight is being used to compact the area that will be under the asphalt, Jeffrey Williamson, director of Fort Bragg’s Directorate of Public Works, said at the Nov. 4 meeting. Crews started removing about 12 layers of asphalt in August to address roadbed settlement. Williamson said the dynamic compaction work should be completed by the end of January. The road

The rise and fall of Fayetteville's Fire Station No. 4 | Opinion

A Hyundai excavator rammed its big bucket upside the building, and steel, masonry and brick came down with a loud boom. The human operator in the cab guided the big machine’s boom and ripped out silvery beams. In another pass, the scoop took a bite out of the roof and pulled til a section came loose, followed by another boom and a cloud of dust. The human operator began arranging it all into towering piles of debris. This was the scene Thursday afternoon at what was to have been the new Fire Station No. 4 on Bragg Boulevard, near the intersection of U.S. 401 Business. The project, budgeted at $11.5 million, was planned to be a state-of-the-art facility — one with modern equipment designed to protect firefighters from the higher rates of cancer that haunt that noble profession. The station, which would replace the aging facility on Stamper Road, was planned to serve 5,000 homes. A project that never reached its purpose But work on unfinished Station No. 4 was halted in 2024, two years after it started, due to what city officials contended was shoddy construction. There were dueling lawsuits in court on the matter: The city had sued

NC charter school has been delayed yet again. When it now plans to open in Chatham.

A new charter school focused on helping students learn job skills is now scheduled to open in Chatham County in 2029 — five years after it was first approved. The N.C. Charter Schools Review Board voted 7-2 on Monday to approve Granite Charter Academy’s request to delay its opening until fall 2029 . School leaders said the delay will give them time to construct a campus in Pittsboro that would eventually allow them to serve 1,500 K-12 students. “Seeing the development in the area, I’m sure Chatham County is excited to have a school that they’re not running a bond package on,” said Lindalyn Kakadelis, a member of the Review Board. But some Review Board members raised concerns about allowing such a long delay. Granite was originally approved by the Review Board in 2024 with a scheduled opening this school year. Staff in the Office of Charter Schools previously had approved Granite’s request to delay opening until 2027. On Monday, the school sought an additional two-year delay. “I do believe it’s a great endeavor and very purposeful and needed, but we’d be approving an application that’s five years removed from all the original intent,” said Review Board member Rita Haire,

Why one of NC's newly elected lawmakers has no plans yet to pick a side

While the majority of registered voters in the state are unaffiliated with a major political party, it is uncommon for a candidate who doesn’t fall into Republican or Democratic molds to be elected to office. However, voters in Lee County chose April Montgomery, an unaffiliated candidate who campaigned on investing in public education and supporting small businesses, over a Republican candidate. Democrats took control of the state House in last week’s election. The party flipped so many seats that it is one seat away from a supermajority in the House, which could open up a role for Montgomery with Democrats who need one more vote to attain that dominant share. Montgomery told The News & Observer that she currently does not have plans to join either party’s strategy meetings. “We’ll figure out fairly early on in the season what the priorities are going to be and what best suits my district given those priorities and make decisions from there,” she said. Montgomery defeated Republican Charles Taylor, who serves as a Sanford City Council member. Republican Rep. John Sauls held the seat for seven terms over two tenures and did not seek reelection. Taylor filed a defamation lawsuit just before the
