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.

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.

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
