Doby faces eight counts of felony larceny and was detained without bond due to a pretrial release violation. Authorities continue to seek information on the case. Contact Lt. Sullivan at 910-875-5111 if you have information. See details MooreBreakingNewz.com.

Pinehurst Traffic Circle Controversy

Moore County leadership and residents have all been discussing this issue for years. One of the newest proposals from the NCDOT is a “Shifted Pillow” intersection.
