High Point University students, faculty and staff honored the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. by volunteering more than 2,000 hours of service to more than a dozen service projects
THOMASVILLE â A Thomasville woman charged with being part of a self-styled militia that organized members to storm the Capitol Jan. 6 is a former High Point Police Department officer.
Laura Steele, 52, and five other individuals who authorities say are associated with a group called the Oath Keepers, which includes many former military and law enforcement members, were arrested and charged last week for their roles in the insurrection. Among the others charged is Steeleâs brother, Graydon Young, 54, of Florida, who encouraged her to join Oath Keepers in the days before going to Washington, according to the indictment.
Although a total of only nine Oath Keepers have been charged so far, the indictment indicates that more than 40 came to Washington on one bus from North Carolina.
