On April 16, 2025, at approximately 9:40 p.m., officers with the Henderson Police Department responded to a report of an armed robbery at the “Henderson Corner Store,” located at 1045 S. William St. Upon arrival, officers made contact with the victim, identified as Jonathan Ayscue, who reported being robbed by three male suspects brandishing a firearm. The suspects stole undisclosed amount of U.S. currency and then fled the scene.

Through information gathered at the scene of the crime, officers quickly identified the suspect vehicle—a black Honda CRV with Virginia plates and obtained images of the suspects.

At approximately 11:45 p.m., officers located the vehicle on Arch Street. All three suspects were inside the vehicle and taken into custody without incident. A handgun was also recovered.

The suspects, all 19-year-olds with addresses in Oxford, NC, have been identified and charged as follows:

  • Azariah Stovall: Charged with robbery with a dangerous weapon, second degree kidnapping, carrying a concealed firearm, misdemeanor possession of marijuana, and misdemeanor possession of a Schedule III controlled substance.
  • Quintavion Henderson: Charged with robbery with a dangerous weapon, second degree kidnapping, and served with an outstanding warrant from Vance County for assault on a female.
  • Nicholas Harris: Charged with robbery with a dangerous weapon, second degree kidnapping, and misdemeanor possession of marijuana.

All three individuals were given no bond by the magistrate and are currently being held at the Vance County Detention Center. Their first court appearance is scheduled for April 21, 2025.

The Henderson Police Department would like to thank the community and our partners for their assistance in swiftly resolving this case.

The Local Skinny! Rebuilding Hope Chicken Plate Sale Coming Up April 25

/by

Rebuilding Hope, Inc. is having its spring chicken plate fundraiser Friday, Apr. 25. For the price of $10 a ticket, customers will get half a chicken, potatoes, green beans, bread and dessert, thanks to lots of volunteers who will be working behind the scenes to get food prepared and packaged for takeout.

Stop by the RHI headquarters between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. to pick up to-go plates. Or, said RHI Co-Director Tom Wille, businesses that call and place an order for five or more plates can have them delivered.

Rebuilding Hope, Inc. has kept its price at $10 – “that’s our price and we’re sticking to it,” Wille said. Everybody is trying to save a little bit these days, and he said he hopes keeping the price at $10 a plate will be helpful to families.

Wille estimated that between 150 and 200 volunteers will have had some role in the fundraiser after all is said and done. “This is an awesome operation,” he said, “and it really speaks to what Rebuilding Hope, Inc. is all about – a team effort.

From cake bakers and slicers to the folks on the assembly line who place the meal in containers, the volunteers show up and show out.

And then there’s the grillers – “they appear from nowhere with their cookers,” Wille said.

“These guys know what they’re doing. They come together and have a good time doing it,” he added.

The end result? Chicken that’s cooked to perfection.

Whether during the twice-a-year chicken plate fundraiser or at other times throughout the year when Rebuilding Hope is helping others, the mission of the ministry is “designed to be the feet of Jesus in the community,” he said.

In addition to the roofing repairs and wheelchair ramp construction that the construction ministry is known for, they also help churches support members in need. Rebuilding Hope, Inc. supplies the materials and the tools, and the churches supply the workers to help get that ramp built or some other project around the house.

“We’re loving on the people where they’re at,” Wille said. “We’re here to point people to Jesus.”

Vance County Included In Latest Statewide Round Of Broadband Project

/by

Vance County is among 17 counties that will benefit from a statewide initiative to increase broadband internet to rural communities.

Connect Holding II will receive about $41 million to provide high-speed internet access to 1,327 homes and businesses in Vance County, according to information Gov. Josh Stein’s office. That’s just over half of the county’s eligible locations, the April 15 press release noted.

“For rural communities like ours, access to high-speed internet is critical for economic development, telehealth and remote education opportunities,” N.C. District 32 Rep. Bryan Cohn said in a written statement in response to the announcement. “I am excited to see continued investments and appreciate this award from NCDIT. This will lead to better jobs, better education and better outcomes for our residents.”

“Connecting North Carolinians online helps strengthen our state,” Stein said. “Broadband plays a crucial role in our development, and I look forward to seeing how these funds expand economic opportunities for people in every corner of North Carolina.”

NCDIT Secretary and State Chief Information Officer Teena Piccione said the grants will fund projects that provide critical internet access to people in communities across the state.

“Internet access is a necessity in today’s world…We will continue to partner with counties and internet service providers to make more awards this month as we work to expand high-speed internet to every North Carolinian.”

The projects will be funded by more than $29 million from the federal American Rescue Plan awarded by NCDIT and nearly $12.5 million from selected broadband providers.

NCDIT partners with counties and internet providers to identify areas that need access partnership between counties and NCDIT to identify areas that need access, and then awardees must agree to provide high-speed service that reliably meets or exceeds speeds of 100 Mbps download and 100 Mbps upload.

This most recent wave of grant funding adds to the more than $547 million in Growing Rural Economies with Access to Technology grants and previous projects that will connect more than 200,000 North Carolina households and businesses to high-speed internet.
