Woman serves as shining example in recovery
Morganton, NC (News Herald) Looking back on the turmoil of her life just two years ago, Morganton native Chelsee McConnell said it’s sometimes hard to believe how far she has come.
On Dec. 20, 2018, McConnell had flipped her car on Kirksey Drive near River Trail. She was charged with a DWI and misdemeanor resist, delay or obstructing a police officer. Only a month before, a Morganton Department of Public Safety officer administered a dose of NARCAN, an agent used to reverse drug overdoses, on McConnell.
The wreck made local news, with The News Herald covering the story.
