Take Back North Carolina Initiative Press Conf

/by

Wednesday afternoon at 3:30, the United States Attorney’s Office conducted a press conference at the Henderson Police Department. The audio of the press conference is available here. Discussed was the beginning of a new initiative to combat violent and drug crime in the Eastern District of North Carolina. This initiative will bring the full weight and resources of the federal court system in the fight against crime in the counties of Vance, Granville, Warren, Franklin and all the counties of the Eastern District of NC in partnership with the District Attorneys’ offices and federal, state and local law enforcement. The initiative will also focus on the alarming level of opioid use and the deaths associated with it. The speaker was United States Attorney Robert J. Higdon, Jr. and in attendance were the Vance, Granville, Warren and Franklin County sheriffs as well as the Police Chief of Henderson, Oxford and Louisburg. Also present were the District Attorney for the 9th Prosecutorial District and the ADA. According to what was said at the press conference, the goal is to reverse the trends where violent crimes and drug-related deaths have shot up in the last couple of years both in North Carolina, specifically the Eastern District, and across the nation. Higdon said opioid use is higher in eastern NC than the rest of the state. He essentially said the federal government in recent years had stopped using all its tools to prosecute the worst offenders and charge them with the worst crime. He said the work was already underway and through cooperation among law enforcement agencies and local and federal prosecutors, the goal was to significantly reduce crime by getting the worst offenders in federal court as fast as possible. He said when death was involved in a drug case, a federal court can us a 20 year mandatory sentence. He said when a gun is in the possession of the offender five years can be added to the sentence, and that goes to seven years if the gun is brandished and 10 years if the gun is discharged. He said there would be a 14-day plea deadline, and it was best if the offender plead guilty to reduce his/her sentence and because the penalties would be consistent for offenders and the punishment would fit the crime. Crimes against a law enforcement officer would be given a priority. He said there would be seizure of assets – cash, car, house, business. He said the federal courts would be going after medical professionals who administer drugs inappropriately. He said he hoped to deter crime rather than have to prosecute.

Tour De Vance Drawing Cyclists From Large Area For April 28 Bicycle Ride

/by

-Press Release provided by Vance-Granville Community College

The Sixth Annual Tour de Vance Bicycle Ride, scheduled for Saturday, April 28, is drawing cyclists from surrounding counties in addition to locals, organizers say.

Online registration continues through 5 p.m. on Friday, April 27, but riders can also register on-site at Vance-Granville Community College’s Main Campus on the morning of the race, with check-in starting at 7:30 a.m.

“This is a great time to dust off your bicycle and join the ride,” said Wendy Meyer-Goodwin, who has been working as event organizer since the Tour de Vance began. “This ride has been growing steadily since its inception, drawing families and first-timers in addition to the most seasoned of cyclists for four separate cycling events.”

Proceeds from the ride this year will benefit the Endowment Fund at Vance-Granville Community College, with donations supporting scholarships for students enrolled in Health Sciences programs at the college.

“We have several options available for cyclists,” said Meyer-Goodwin. “The 10-mile route is ideal for youth, families and beginners. A 20-mile course suits riders ready for a bit more distance. Experienced cyclists can choose a 31-mile ‘Forest and Farmland’ circle route through the country or a 62-mile ‘Kerr Lake Look’ that adds to that 31-mile circle route an out-and-back spur to the lake past the Nutbush Creek State Recreation Area.”

“Along the routes, rest stops and a ‘SAG wagon’ following the last cyclist of each distance will offer support when needed,” she added. “Law enforcement will accompany riders on the 10-mile route for added excitement. Whether you are new to a bicycle or regularly put your mettle to the pedal, come join us for this fun, healthy event.”

The rides start and finish in front of the Civic Center at VGCC’s Main Campus, located off Interstate 85 and Poplar Creek Road at 200 Community College Road in Henderson.

All riders can register through the VGCC website at vgcc.edu/tourdevance.

The 10-mile ride will cost $10 for each rider. The 20-mile ride will cost $25, and the 31-mile and 62-mile (or “metric century”) rides will cost $40.

“Vance-Granville’s Endowment Fund is honored to be associated with an event that has become such a success,” said Eddie Ferguson, director of the VGCC Endowment Fund. “This bicycle ride promotes the importance of exercise and good health. We are pleased to use these proceeds to help our students enrolled in the many Health Sciences programs at VGCC.”

VGCC offers curriculum programs including Associate Degree Nursing, Radiography, Practical Nursing, Histotechnology, Medical Assisting and Pharmacy Technology.

The 62-mile ride starts at 8:30 a.m., the 31-mile ride at 9:30 a.m., the 20-mile ride at 10 a.m., and the 10-mile ride at 10:30 a.m. Law enforcement will accompany riders on the 10-mile route.

The starting times represent a change from previous rides. Starting times are being staggered to have more riders ending near the same time, Meyer-Goodwin added.

Lunch will be provided.

Participating sponsors include Granville Vance Public Health, Carolina GI Associates PC, OmniPoint General Surgery, Barnett Properties, Spoke Cycles, Henderson Fruit & Produce, Prim Rentals, T&T Laundries, Benchmark Community Bank, Chick-fil-A, Medical Arts Pharmacy, George Watkins, The Rogers Group, AAA Gas, Chase Development, Family Eye Center, William L.

Plymouth Robbery Results in Federal Prison Time for Butner Man

/by

— press release courtesy U.S. Dept. of Justice and U.S. Attorney Eastern District of NC

GREENVILLE – United States Attorney Robert J. Higdon, Jr. announced that today, GERALD KENNETH McCALOP, 24, of Butner was sentenced in United States District Court today.  The charges stem from the July 20, 2017 robbery of the Jewel Shoppe in Plymouth.

Senior United States District Judge Malcolm J. Howard sentenced McCALOP TO 85 months in prison for his guilty plea to robbery of a business engaged in interstate commerce, and brandishing a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence.  McCALOP pled guilty to his participation in the robbery of the Jewel Shoppe, a jewelry store located on Water Street in Plymouth.  On July 17, 2017, McCALOP and his co-defendants, Andre Cooper and Michael Leverette, entered the Jewel Shoppe armed with two AR-15 rifles. The defendants held all the victims at gunpoint and one victim was tied up.  The owner managed to set off the silent alarm and Plymouth Police Department officers responded within moments.  When the officers arrived, the robbers were in the back trying to force their way out of the store.  All three were then arrested.  In the back of the store, the officers recovered jewelry, $150.00 in cash and two handguns.  McCALOP provided a statement to the officers admitting his actions and implicating his co-defendants in the planning of the robbery.

Cooper and Leverette pled guilty in March 2018 to robbery and firearm charges, including felon in possession of firearms.  Each are set for sentencing the week of June 12, 2018.

This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program bringing together all levels of law enforcement and the communities they serve to reduce violent crime and make our neighborhoods safer for everyone.   Attorney General Jeff Sessions reinvigorated PSN in 2017 as part of the Department’s renewed focus on targeting violent criminals, directing all U.S. Attorney’s Offices to work in partnership with federal, state, local, and tribal law enforcement and the local community to develop effective, locally-based strategies to reduce violent crime.

Investigation of this case was conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Plymouth Police Department, with assistance from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF).  Assistant United States Attorney John Bennett is prosecuting the case.
