CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Two arrests have been made in Charlotte following the murder of two Black transgender women, law enforcement officials said Friday. Dontarius Long, 21, and Joel Brewer, 33, were charged Friday, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police officials said. Long and Brewer are both accused of murder and conspiracy to commit robbery with a dangerous weapon, among other charges, police records show. “Our streets are a lot safer,” said Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Chief Johnny Jennings at a news conference announcing the arr...
Ghislaine Maxwell will face two separate trials on charges of grooming underage victims of Jeffrey Epstein and lying under oath, a judge ruled Friday. Manhattan Federal Judge Alison Nathan wrote in a 34-page ruling that trying the cases together raised thorny legal issues. Maxwell is charged with procuring and grooming three underage Epstein victims in the mid-1990s. She's also accused of lying under oath about her sex life in two depositions in 2016. Having one jury consider both allegations would result in them being...
Liberty University is suing its former president, Jerry Falwell Jr., claiming he smeared the school's reputation with a sex scandal and hid that information while negotiating a plentiful new contract in 2019. Falwell was president and chancellor of Liberty from 2007 until August 2020, when he resigned. Earlier that month, Falwell's pool cleaner-turned-business partner Giancarlo Granda said beginning in 2012 he had sex several times with Falwell's wife, Becki, while the evangelical university president watched. The Falwells...
President Joe Biden renewed his call for added gun-control laws and ordered U.S. flags to fly at half-staff after a deadly shooting near the Indianapolis airport, the latest in series of massacres that have shaken the nation. “Too many Americans are dying every single day from gun violence,” Biden said in a statement on Friday, noting that he earlier urged Congress to pass new gun laws. “It stains our character and pierces the very soul of our nation. We can, and must, do more to act and to save lives.” A gunman opened...

My wife doesn’t think a story about candlestick holders could be very interesting. Her problem is she never took shop class with Glen Fields. Those of you who’ve been out of your parents’ house for awhile (and haven’t moved back in with them) may have already had your mother send a box or two of things home with you. She was cleaning a closet or a drawer or de-cluttering her dresser top and she noticed things from when you were growing up you’d probably like to have. My mother...

Senior Teagan Burton scored 13 points and junior Rylan Creighton chipped in 12 for Elida (4-1, 4-0 district), which led 25-12 at the break.

In other boys tilts on Tuesday: Fort Sumner 55, Clovis Christian 45 — The host Foxes broke away from a one-point halftime lead by...
ROSWELL - Gateway Christian's girls pulled away after a close first half on Friday night, and the undefeated Lady Warriors posted a 60-32 victory over Dora in a District 4-1A matchup. The Lady Coyotes (1-2, 1-1 district) trailed just 27-24 at halftime, but were outscored 39-14 by Gateway (5-0, 2-0) over the final two stanzas. Sophomore M.J. Stephens led Gateway Christian with 24 points, while junior Hannah Lilley added 13 and sophomore Kayley Smith 10. For Dora (1-2, 1-1),...
SAN ANGELO, Texas — Despite trailing 1-0, Eastern New Mexico University junior right-hander Fernando Burgos, making just his second start of the season, carried a no-hitter into the bottom of the fifth in Friday night’s Lone Star Conference baseball opener against Angelo State. But he ran out of gas, and the Greyhounds’ bullpen couldn’t hold the fort. ASU (22-5, 17-5 LSC) finished with just four hits in the contest but took advantage of 12 walks and four hit batsmen and eventually rolled to a 15-0 victory. Angelo scored...
HOBBS - Clovis High girls coach Jeff Reed was appreciative of the fact that Hobbs called off the dogs early on Friday night. Sophomore guard Wisdom Anthony drilled six 3-pointers - four in a 24-2 domination of the first quarter - and finished with 24 points as the top-ranked Lady Eagles' 64-38 District 4-5A victory over CHS. "Hobbs is No. 1 (in Class 5A) and the defending state champs," Reed said. "Los Lunas is a pretty decent team, and they held them to like one or two...
PORTALES - Though Portales' Friday win over Artesia never felt in doubt, it wasn't hard to pinpoint exactly where the wheels fell off of the Bulldog bus. Starting post Kaylee Wagner picked up her fourth foul with 4:43 left, starting forward Cora Cox picked up her fourth a minute later and starting guard Alyssa Lieb left the game with an apparent concussion from incidental contact on a drive. The Rams (4-0, 2-0 district) immediately followed with a 10-0 run en route to a 44-30...
ARTESIA — Portales High boys coach Rickie McBroom says it’s not for lack of effort that the Rams have been scuffling in the early going this season. In a District 4-4A loss to Roswell Goddard on Tuesday at the Ram Athletic Center, PHS played fairly well in the first half but not the second. Friday night, it was a demoralizingly slow start that set the tone in a 57-42 district setback to Artesia. “Our kids are playing hard,” McBroom said. “There’s never a lack of effort.” Portales (1-4, 0-1 district) fell behind 13-0 early, t...
PORTALES — Greg Rowley was scheduled to take over the Portales High golf program last year, but the coronavirus pandemic got in the way. Now, armed with what he thinks may be two of the top golfers in Class 4A, Rowley hopes to piece together a boys squad which can reach the state tournament in June. “It’s been a challenge,” he said as the Rams prepare for Monday’s season-opening tournament in Artesia. “We’ve got six freshmen who’ve never played before, but our No. 1 and 2 players (seniors Nathan Cota and Valen Low) may...
