Rock Hill felon was 12 year no-show for court. He's caught: Mom, sisters charged, too

More than 12 years after a Rock Hill felon failed to show up for court on drug charges, police have arrested him for failure to appear as well as new charges after seizing more drugs and guns, records show. Yet Christopher Maurice Stamps isn’t the only person in his family facing new drug trafficking charges. York County drug enforcement unit commander Matt Earls said police have charged Stamps’ mother, sister and step-sister with drug trafficking. Christopher Stamps, now 44 years old, didn’t show court on drug charges in 2014 while out on bail, court records show. He had previously been sentenced to nine years in prison in 2003 on felony drug charges, according to court and police records. In late October, drug agents arrested him at a home in York west of Rock Hill on drug trafficking and weapons charges, according to arrest warrants and a York County Sheriff’s Office incident report obtained by The Herald. Records do not say how police finally found Stamps after a dozen years avoiding capture. Police seized more than 1.8 pounds of cocaine, over a half-pound of crack cocaine, 66 pounds of marijuana, and two guns when they arrested Stamps, according to warrants and

Ring camera caught murder suspect returning with the gun, SC prosecutor says

After 19-year-old Camariya Tidwell was shot and killed in May outside her family’s Rock Hill, South Carolina, home, doorbell video widely circulated online showed the suspect, Sean Xavier Hubbard , hours earlier allegedly firing a shotgun at the front door. That shocking video was taken hours before prosecutors say Hubbard went back to the house and killed Tidwell. Now, prosecutors say they have three more videos police used to identify Hubbard on May 16 when Tidwell was gunned down. That includes two videos of him near the house when Tidwell was killed, and at his parents’ house afterward with the murder weapon. After Hubbard was caught shooting at the house “in broad daylight,” another video shows Hubbard “creeping into the front yard at night where he “murdered an innocent” 19-year-old girl, prosecutor Hannah Woods told visiting Judge Eugene Griffith in court Nov. 5. “He’s then caught on video leaving the scene, he’s then caught on video at his parents’ house by their Ring camera returning with the murder weapon, wearing the same clothes he was wearing at the time of the murder.” Hubbard denies charges Hubbard, 35, has been in jail without bail since his arrest hours after Tidwell died.

Newly rebuilt McDonald's near Cleveland Mall holds grand opening

In the parking lot of the newly rebuilt McDonald's on East Dixon Boulevard, sunlight glinted off golden tubas as the sound of Shelby High School's marching band warmed up, its music mingling with the chatter of a small crowd Tuesday, Nov. 10. Roughly 125 days after the former McDonald's building was demolished, a brand-new restaurant has taken its place near the Cleveland Mall. In attendance at the ribbon cutting and grand opening were three county commissioners, the Shelby High marching band and chorus and the Crest High School Air Force Junior ROTC. The interior of the new restaurant features bright yellows and reds, representing ketchup and mustard, and there is a designated window for mobile orders and deliveries to free up the drive thru. Kiosks have been installed for ordering and people can also use their cell phones to make table orders and have it delivered to their table. Brad Kimrey, chief operating officer of Ice Age Management, which owns and operates the restaurant, said the process to begin tearing down the old building and rebuild started about two years ago, but the actual demolition and construction took just around four months. Kimrey said the previous building was around 45

‘Changed the world': Dub Massey, Rock Hill Friendship Nine civil rights hero, dies

Rock Hill has lost a hero -- A Black man of short stature whose giant courage helped change the city, South Carolina and America. Willie T. “Dub” Massey, one of the Friendship Nine civil rights protesters who went to jail for a month in 1961 in the fight against segregation and inequality for African-Americans, died Tuesday, according to family members. He was 84. David Williamson Jr., Massey’s first cousin and now the last surviving member of the Friendship Nine, said Massey helped change the country with his courage and steadfast resolve. “He never forgot what he went through, what we all went through, and he never wanted other people to forget, either,” Williamson told The Herald. “He fought, he went through what he did, not for himself. That’s not what we were about. We did what we did, he did what he did, for the future of all people in this country. He wanted a better future for every person. He wanted that for all.” Massey spent decades as a school teacher and counselor, and often spoke to groups about the Civil Rights Movement that his life was intertwined with for more than 65 years.
