CABARRUS COUNTY, N.C. Parents were outraged at the Cabarrus County School Board meeting Tuesday night, upset about the proposed Cabarrus County middle school realignment.
It s being driven by the construction of a new middle school that would pull middle school students out of their current enrollment. Some parents say the realignment could double or even triple their commute.
BROOKSIDE – Four suspects are in custody after a high-speed car chase in Brookside.
Authorities say Brookside criminal patrol officers identified a stolen Buick Rendezvous from Kentucky traveling east on Interstate-22 on Sunday at approximately 1:45 p.m.
Officers attempted a traffic stop on the vehicle near the Cherry Ave exit in Brookside. The department says the driver initially stopped near Roberta Road but then decided to flee the scene, leading officers on a high-speed pursuit on Cherry Avenue towards Daniel Payne Drive in Birmingham. The vehicle later crashed into a ditch and fence near Circlewood.
At that time, four subjects jumped out of the vehicle and attempted to flee on foot. Two of the subjects were immediately caught and taken into custody by first responding officers who exited their vehicle and chased them down. The third suspect was chased down by additional Brookside backup officers and was taken into custody.
