Only on @wral: New development is on hold in part of East Durham, because the sewer system there is “at full capacity.”
A fix is years away.

WRAL has learned a patient escaped from Holly Hill psychiatric hospital in #Raleigh, marking at least the 4th escape incident since March 2024.

What is the state doing to stop this?
And why do the charges for the guns’ owners vary so much?

We explore that in our latest @wral investigation:

@will_doran Ever since doing that story, I always check the inspection signs in elevators when I enter. Anecdotally, I had noticed fewer seemed to be out-of-date!

College field parties are causing issues not just in Durham County, but in Orange County, too.

Orange County officials say they’ve already had multiple trauma patients from the parties, and fear a student is going to be killed if this doesn’t stop soon.

He assaulted a Durham police officer and a chaplain. His car had a gun and drugs in it. It was all on body cam video.

Demario Holman was recently sentenced in court — to less than a year behind bars.
