Even before the season began, Sedona Red Rock High School track and field coach Harry Schneider knew that the Scorpions didn’t have the numbers to really compete for a state championship as a team. He did, however, expect a number of athletes to compete for individual state championships. That’s exactly how things played out.

Man says 13 Woodbridge officers beat him in a case of mistaken ID
WOODBRIDGE A Middlesex County man is suing this township and specific members of the police department, saying more than a dozen responding officers beat him in a case of mistaken identity inside a QuickChek store.
In April 2019, Jeremiah Daniels-Porter, of Carteret, was at the convenience store then located at 475 Rahway Ave. Store workers misidentified him for a different person who had been banned from the business. They called police while Daniels-Porter was using a restroom, according to the lawsuit, which was first reported by MyCentralJersey.com.
Police Officers Hector Rivera and William Petrovey questioned Daniels-Porter when he came out of the restroom. He says he objected as there was no probable cause to stop or detain him.
