Operator broke rules, police says
FAYETTEVILLE -- Fayetteville police say that a 911 operator violated protocol by failing to swiftly dispatch police to a home where a man killed himself after shooting his wife and two children.
Theresa Chance, a spokeswoman for the Fayetteville police, said yesterday that the investigation into the Nov. 2 slayings was nearing completion but any repercussions would be confidential.
The call from the house contained the sound of a person moaning, followed by a gunshot.
Officials believe that Billy Maxwell Jr. killed his family and himself.
Chance said that an operator did not follow rules requiring a response to a dropped 911 call within 20 minutes.
Police did not get to the house for more than an hour.
Woman injured by deer on sidewalk
TARBORO -- A North Carolina business owner is recovering from injuries she suffered Saturday when she encountered a herd of deer on a downtown Tarboro sidewalk.
Michelle Brewer was opening the jewelry store she co-owns with her husband when one deer passed by. Then she said that so many deer appeared that she couldn't move.
Brewer doesn't remember the deer stepping on her. But she does recall being eye-level with them before she hit the sidewalk. A witness told her that one deer kicked her several feet in the air before the rest trampled her.
Her injuries included two bruises on the right side of her face and a hoof print on her leg. She did not require treatment at a hospital.
"The stampede didn't hit us on Black Friday, it came the day after," she quipped.
Spring Lake fills police chief's job
SPRING LAKE -- A North Carolina town has a new police chief after about six months without a permanent one.
Troy McDuffie, the police chief for Red Springs, has been named the new chief in Spring Lake. He was introduced to the town yesterday at a news conference and is scheduled to take command Dec. 14.
The department has been unable to make arrests or obtain warrants since earlier this year, when a Cumberland County judge effectively stripped the town of those powers. That came after a State Bureau of Investigation probe led to the arrest of two supervising officers.
Former chief A.C. Brown resigned after the arrests in May. Former Chapel Hill police Chief Gregg Jarvies served as interim chief until early November.
