It's disgusting.' UNC-Chapel Hill students raise concern over appointment of interim police chief


By Joe Fisher, WRAL reporter

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — The fallout continues at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with the university's recent selection of an interim police chief.

On Tuesday, UNC-Chapel Hill announced the resignation of Chief David Perry, and that Assistant Chief Rahsheem Holland, who has worked at the university for 20 years, would be temporarily taking over the department.

Holland has been the interim chief since May, when Perry went out on medical leave after a procedure.

But, Holland's actions caught on video last week have UNC-Chapel Hill's Black Student Movement calling for the veteran officer's termination. Holland was seen on video pushing students and allegedly punching Julia Clark, a student protestor, who later posted a picture of her bruised face on Twitter.

Singer R. Kelly charged in Cook County with aggravated criminal sexual abuse



By Megan Crepeau and Jason Meisner
February 22, 2019, 12:45 PM



In a bombshell development, R&B superstar R. Kelly was indicted Friday on 10 counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse, court records show.

It was not immediately clear how many alleged victims were involved, but three of the indictments referred to a minor between the ages of 13 and 16, according to the charges.


The charges come after damning allegations in a recent documentary series spurred Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx to make an unusual public plea last month for any Kelly accusers to come forward, and a recent groundswell of social media backlash called for a boycott of Kelly’s music.

High-profile attorney Michael Avenatti said last week that he had given Foxx’s office a VHS tape showing Kelly engaging in sex years ago with an underage girl.

Shaw defeats its second ranked team this season. Hinton is leading the nation in scoring. Once this team gets to 100%...they could be special 


HINTON DROPS 49 POINTS TO LEAD SHAW TO OVERTIME WIN AT NATIONALLY-RANKED No. 14 BARTON

WILSON, N.C. – The nation's leading scorer lived up to the hype as junior guard Amir Hinton (Philadelphia, PA) of the Shaw University men's basketball team recorded a new career-high of 49 points in the Bears 95-90 overtime victory over the No. 14th nationally ranked Barton College Bulldogs squad Tuesday night at the Wilson Gymnasium. The Bears snapped the Bulldogs' six-game win-streak to improve to 5-2 on the year while BC slides to 6-1 overall.

 

Hinton who set a program record tonight led all scorers with the 49-point performance on 19-of-32 shooting from floor and 10-of-11 free throws. He finished with seven rebounds, four assists and one steal while freshman Geremy Taylor (Pompano Beach, FL) netted a career-high 12 points, five assists and four rebounds and freshman Nakwan Kitchen (Orangeburg, SC) added his first career double-double of 10 points and 10 rebounds off the bench for Shaw.
