ROANOKE, Va. (AP) — Thirteen people have been charged in connection with a fight at a house in February in which students from Radford University were said to be involved, authorities said.
Radford police said that of the 13, 10 have been arrested and three are still wanted on warrants, The Roanoke Times reported Monday. According to police, all 13 face charges including assault by mob, breaking and entering, and felony destruction of property.
Radford University confirmed that the fight involved nine students enrolled in the current spring semester before they were placed on interim suspension. Four were previously enrolled, but a university spokeswoman said the four aren’t currently enrolled.

Chiazor: The Hottest Topic in 2021: Keeping People Connected


Nneka Chiazor
Last year brought increased visibility to the importance of broadband. With many Virginians teleworking, students distance learning, and businesses trying to stay afloat by offering services online, broadband was at the epicenter of how we managed our “new normal.”
As we start the first chapter of 2021, I have no doubt that keeping people connected in the truest sense will remain a hot topic especially when it comes to broadband and internet connectivity, as was indicated in the recent op-ed by Tim Dempsey. The fact is, it’s a complex issue with two very important yet different components intertwined in the conversation: accessibility and affordability.

Times change, but the mission has not


The news last week that the building that’s been home to The Roanoke Times since 1914 is up for sale caused concern for many of our staff and readers in our region.
Since the conclusion of the sale last year of The Roanoke Times and nine other Virginia daily newspapers to Lee Enterprises, we have been at 201 W. Campbell Ave. S.W. as a tenant of our prior owner, a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., which retained the real estate. That is who put the property up for sale.
The Campbell Avenue structure reflects a bygone era, when more than 600 people worked to produce and deliver two newspapers, morning and afternoon, from a sprawling physical plant spread over two city blocks. Much of the building has been unused or underused in recent years as we have consolidated business functions elsewhere. We don’t know if we will be able to remain in the building as a tenant, as the Richmond Times-Dispatch did after its longtime home between Franklin and Grace streets was sold. If our offices do need to relocate after a sale of 201 Campbell, we will find another suitably sized office for our staff. (And we will preserve our wonderful photo and clipping archives.)
