(AP) – After Decarlos Brown Jr. was arrested for the fatal stabbing of a Ukrainian refugee aboard a North Carolina commuter train, he was quickly sent to a state mental hospital for an evaluation. It was a sharp contrast from a January misdemeanor arrest, where it took more than six months for a court to order a mental evaluation after Brown told officers that he had been given a manmade substance that controlled when he ate, talked or walked.

(AP) – The suspect in custody in connection with the assassination of Charlie Kirk is a 22-year-old from Utah, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press. Authorities have identified the suspect as Tyler Robinson, said the official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the ongoing investigation.

“Bright Star” shines brilliantly at the Southwest Playhouse this season, as an immersive, musical, emotional journey centered in the 1920s and ’40s American South. In many ways, the production timelessly celebrates love and loss, the ways things change, and the ways in which they stay the same.

Financially, at least for this meeting, things are looking up for Clinton Regional Hospital, based on Wednesday’s report to the Clinton Hospital Authority.
