Kernersville police: Passenger killed in crash involving tree on road (2024)

COMING UP IN JUST A LITTLE BIT TO KENNY. DAVE, THANK YOU. FIRST THIS MORNING, ONE MAN IS RECOVERING AFTER BEING STABBED IN WINSTON-SALEM. THIS HAPPENED LAST NIGHT JUST BEFORE EIGHT. OFFICERS WERE CALLED TO THE STABBING ON VILLAGE CREEK CIRCLE IN THE CITY. THAT’S WHERE THEY FOUND THE 34 YEAR OLD VICTIM WHO IS FROM RURAL HALL WITH A STAB WOUND IN HIS ABDOMEN. HE’S BEEN HOSPITALIZED FOR TREATMENT AND IS EXPECTED TO SURVIVE. INVESTIGATORS SAY THE VICTIM KNEW THE PERSON WHO STABBED HIM. THEY WERE FIGHTING LEADING UP TO THE INCIDENT. THE SUSPECT THEN RAN AWAY BEFORE OFFICERS ARRIVED. THERE’S AN INVESTIGATION CURRENTLY GOING ON THIS MORNING. FOLLOWING UP ON BREAKING NEWS, WE FIRST REPORTED LAST NIGHT HERE ON WXII 12, ONE MAN IS IN THE HOSPITAL AFTER BEING SHOT BY A TEENAGER. THIS ALSO HAPPENED IN WINSTON-SALEM. OFFICERS WERE CALLED TO THE SHOOTING ON EAST 17TH STREET LAST NIGHT. WE’RE TOLD THE VICTIM WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL BEFORE POLICE ARRIVE. INVESTIGATORS SAY A 16 YEAR OLD AND HIS GIRLFRIEND WERE ARGUING INSIDE OF AN APARTMENT WHEN THE VICTIM GOT INVOLVED AND INTERVENED. AND THAT LED TO A FIGHT BETWEEN THE VICTIM WHO WAS 40 YEARS OLD AND THAT TEEN SUSPECT. POLICE SAY THAT’S WHEN THE TEEN FIRED A GUN AND HIT THE MAN IN THE ABDOMEN AFTER RUNNING AWAY. THEY TRACKED THE SUSPECT DOWN ON POLO ROAD. RIGHT NOW, NO CHARGES HAVE BEEN AUTHORIZED AGAINST THAT JUVENILE GUNMAN. SUSPECT ACCUSED OF SHOOTING A MAN AT HIS YOUNG DAUGHTER IN A GASTON COUNTY NEIGHBORHOOD. NOW AWAITS EXTRADITION FROM FLORIDA. 24 YEAR OLD ROBERT LOUIS SINGLETARY APPEARED IN A COURTROOM IN TAMPA, FLORIDA, YESTERDAY. DURING BRIEF PROCEEDINGS, SINGLETARY, WHO SURRENDERED TO AUTHORITIES ON THURSDAY AFTER A SHORT MANHUNT, SIGNED A WAIVER OF EXTRADITION BACK TO NORTH CAROLINA. HE IS FACING CHARGES OF ATTEMPTED FIRST DEGREE MURDER, ASSAULT WITH A DEADLY WEAPON AND POSSESSION OF A FIREARM. AUTHORITIES HAVE UNTIL MONDAY TO RETRIEVE HIM FROM FLORIDA OR HE’LL HAVE TO HAVE ANOTHER COURT HEARING. A MAN IS IN CUSTODY RIGHT NOW AFTER MULTIPLE BREAK INS ACROSS AT LEAST TEN COUNTIES IN NORTH CAROLINA, ACCORDING TO THE ROCKINGHAM COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE, 60 YEAR OLD DELEON GREEN HAS BEEN CHARGED IN CONNECTION WITH MULTIPLE BUSINESS BREAK INS, INCLUDING IN ALAMANCE CRAVEN AND JOHNSTON COUNTIES. HE WAS ARRESTED LAST WEEK IN REIDSVILLE WHILE A DEPUTY WAS CONDUCTING A BUSINESS CHECK. AND GIVN $350,000, SECURED BOND. THE SHERIFF’S OFFICE SAYS ADDITIONAL CHARGES AGAINST GREENE ARE EXPECTED IN THE DAYS TO COME. IN ALAMANCE COUNTY, A MAN IS FACING CHARGES AFTER DEPUTIES SAY HE WAS FOUND WITH DRUGS AND CATALYTIC CONVERTERS. THIS WAS DURING A TRAFFIC STOP. KEVIN BROWN WAS STOPPED FOR IMPROPER EQUIPMENT AND DISPLAYING A REVOKED LICENSE PLATE. THE SHERIFF’S OFFICE SAYS DEPUTIES SAW BROWN DROP THREE CLEAR BAGGIES OUT OF THE WINDOW OF HIS VEHICLE. THIS LED THEM TO SEARCH HIS CAR WHERE THEY SAY THEY FOUND FOUR CATALYTIC CONVERTERS WHICH APPEARED TO HAVE BEEN CUT OFF FROM OTHER VEHICLES. BROWN WAS UNABLE TO PRODUCE THE PROPER PAPERWORK OR CREDENTIALS TO BE IN POSSESSION OF THOSE ITEMS. IN STATE OF ADDICTION, TODAY IS NATIONAL PRESCRIPTION DRUG TAKEBACK DAY, WHICH AIMS TO PROVIDE A SAFE, CONVENIENT AND RESPONSIBLE WAY FOR PEOPLE TO DISPOSE OF PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION WHILE ALSO EDUCATING THE GENERAL PUBLIC ABOUT THE POTENTIAL FOR MEDICATION ABUSE. YOU CAN SPRING CLEAN YOUR MEDICINE CABINET DURING ANY OF THE NATIONAL DRUG TAKEBACK DAY EVENTS HAPPENING IN OUR AREA. YOU MAY THINK YOU’RE UNUSED. MEDICINE MAY NOT HURT ANYBODY, BUT AS OUR LOUIS TRAN REPORTS, IT COULD POTENTIALLY PUT FAMILY, FRIENDS AND EVEN PETS AT RISK. THE AMOUNT OF OVERDOSES WE HAVE EVERY DAY IN OUR COMMUNITY, THAT PROBLEM IS HUGE FOR SMITH COUNTY. SERGEANT BUTCH MOORE WANTS PEOPLE TO BE THE TREATMENT FOR A PROBLEM. THE LARGEST ISSUE IS THAT NONE OF US KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH UNUSED MEDICATIONS LYING AROUND THE HOUSE OR EXPIRED MEDICATION SATURDAY. IN MA NOVANT HEALTH AND THE FORSYTH COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE ARE HOSTING SPRINKLES IN YOUR MEDICINE CABINETS. IF YOU HAVE ANY UNWANTED OR EXPIRED MEDICATION LYING AROUND, DROP IT OFF IN MOORE, VICE PRESIDENT OF REGULATORY COMPLIANCE ASHLEY SCHMIDT SAYS IF YOU DON’T, THE RISKS ARE SIGNIFICANT. AND ABOUT 75% OF US HOLD ON TO THOSE MEDICATIONS AND LEAVE THEM IN OUR MEDICINE CABINETS, WHICH PUTS ALL OF US AT RISK. ONE OF THE REALLY IMPORTANT STATS STICKS THAT I LIKE TO SHARE IS THAT ABOUT HALF OF THE PEOPLE WHO DO BECOME ADDICTED TO OPIOIDS, FOR EXAMPLE, FIND THOSE MEDICATIONS IN THE FAMILY MEMBERS OR FRIENDS MEDICINE CABINETS, OR THEY’RE GIVEN TO THEM BY A FAMILY MEMBER OR FRIEND. BUT IT’S NOT ONLY YOUR FRIENDS WHO ARE AT RISK. SERGEANT MOORE SAYS YOUR PETS OR TO YOUR PET COULD GET INTO IT. THAT SO EASILY. AND HOW MANY TIMES DO YOU HAVE A NEIGHBORHOOD CAT OR A NEIGHBORHOOD ANIMAL GET INTO YOUR GARBAGE? AND HEAVEN FORBID ONE OF THE LOCAL PETS GET INTO YOUR GARBAGE CONTAINER AND TAKE SOME OF THESE OVER THE COUNTER MEDICATIONS, WHICH COULD BE VERY HARMFUL TO. THAT WAS LOUIE TRAN REPORTING. THE SERGEANT SAYS THEY’RE ALSO ACCEPTING SYRINGE PIECES AND NEEDLES. AND YOU DON’T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT YOUR IDENTITY. ANYBODY WHO DROPS OFF ANYTHING CAN REMAIN ANONYMOUS. THAT EVENT BEGINS IN A COUPLE OF HOURS, 10:00 THIS MORNING IN WINSTON-SALEM AT 1250 BOLTON STREET. ANOTHER PLACE YOU CAN HAND OVER OLD PRESCRIPTION MEDICATIONS IS THE ALAMANCE COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE FROM TEN UNTIL TWO. JUST LOOK FOR THEIR TENT IN THE PARKING LOT OF SOUTH MAPLE STREET. YOU DON’T
