City Planning Board approves rezoning request by Buc-ee’s

The Rocky Mount Planning Board earlier this week unanimously approved a request to rezone land so that the Buc-ee’s chain of travel centers can build a new location off the Interstate 95 interchange for Gold Rock. “We can talk about it if you want to, but I mean it’s a no-brainer,” Planning Board member James Tharin said moments before making a motion to recommend the rezoning request to the City Council. Tharin said that Buc-ee’s request can be considered consistent with the city’s Together Tomorrow: Tier I Smart Growth Comprehensive Plan, that Buc-ee’s request is reasonable and that Buc-ee’s request is in the public interest. Planning Board member Theresa Alston Stokes seconded Tharin’s motion. The Planning Board met Tuesday evening. No one spoke against the recommendation moments before the unanimous vote. Scott Ratcliff, who is director of engineering for Buc-ee’s, said after the meeting that he and the rest of the Buc-ee’s team are elated. “We want to be in Rocky Mount — and we’re excited to have a community that’s welcoming us and looking forward to working with them,” Ratcliff said. Buc-ee’s has stated that the chain is under contract to purchase about 34 acres on the southeast side

La Grange teen faces felony charges after high-speed chase, rollover crash

A La Grange teenager is being held without bond following a multi-mile police pursuit and rollover crash in Nash County that resulted in the recovery of a stolen vehicle and two illegal firearms, authorities said. Dajuan Lamont Willie Goode, 18, was arrested Monday and charged with possession of a stolen motor vehicle, felony flee to elude arrest and two counts of possession of a firearm by a felon, according to the Nash County Sheriff’s Office. The incident began when an automatic license plate reader flagged a stolen plate on West Mount Drive near Rocky Mount. A Nash County sheriff’s deputy located the vehicle, a blue 2017 Hyundai Elantra carrying three occupants, and initiated a traffic stop, authorities said. As the deputy approached, the vehicle sped away, and a pursuit ensued that stretched from West Mount Drive to West Hornes Church Road near Williams Road outside of Bailey, authorities said. According to deputies, the suspect lost control of the car, which rolled over multiple times before coming to rest in a field. Authorities said the suspect ran from the wreckage but was apprehended after a brief foot chase. The two passengers, both 16-year-old juveniles, were also detained at the scene, authorities

Sunday event to remember lives lost to vehicle crashes

Traffic safety advocates will gather at the State Highway Patrol station in Greenville on Sunday to remember people killed in motor vehicle crashes. The 2 p.m. event at 4651 N. Creek Drive is part of statewide observances of World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims, officials said. A proclamation from Gov. Josh Stein recognized Sunday as a day to remember people killed and seriously injured, acknowledge first responders and advocate for better driving habits. The proclamation said motor vehicle crashes are a leading cause of death for young people in the United States and about 1.2 million people are killed in road crashes each year. In recent years, North Carolina lost an average of 1,675 people a year to crashes, the proclamation said. “We all bear responsibility to focus, drive carefully and keep each other safe,” the governor said. The NC Alliance for Safe Transportation (NCAST) is organizing Sunday’s events along with the Governor’s Highway Safety Program, State Highway Patrol, North Carolina Families for Safe Streets, the Institute for Transportation Research and Education at North Carolina State University and others. Advocates will display empty pairs of shoes to remember the people lost. Other events are taking place in Asheville,

New Hanover DA declines to prosecute Pitt County deputy for death of K-9 Chilli

A Pitt County Sheriff’s Office deputy will not face charges in the death of an explosives-detection dog he left in a patrol car on June 11, a special prosecutor announced Nov. 2. New Hanover District Attorney Jason W. Smith concluded that insufficient evidence exists to pursue criminal prosecution after reviewing an examination of the death conducted by the State Bureau of Investigation. The announcement also identified the deputy involved in the death as Grant Foster. The sheriff’s office did not respond to requests to identify Foster. It also did not release information about the incident until more than a month after it happened. Smith’s office was asked to review the case and requested an SBI probe after a public uproar. “While the death of K-9 Chilli was tragic,” Smith wrote, “there is not sufficient evidence to pursue criminal prosecution in this matter.” According to the findings, the incident occurred on a hot day with temperatures above 90 degrees. Foster completed morning training with Chilli in Rocky Mount, picked up lunch and arrived at the sheriff’s office at 1:24 p.m. Key-card records and video show he remained inside until 5:11 p.m. When Foster left the office, he discovered his vehicle was
