BID FOR MARION SCHOOL PROPERTY BREACHES HALF A MILLION

Just today, a new bid was placed at just over $508K for the Marion School property in Shelby.

In what seems to be a three way battle between the Ebenezer Missionary Baptist Association, Jerry Allen, and One More One less, the Ebenezer Missionary Baptist Association has once again placed the latest upset bid and reset the auction end for another ten days out.

The Ebenezer Missionary Baptist Association (EMBA) is a coalition of 43 churches across 6 counties in Western North Carolina. In a comment addressing the sale, Reverend Melvin Clark stated that “The Ebenezer Baptist Association is interested in the property and would preserve the school in its current state with minor alterations. Pray for us as we journey to secure the school. We are a non profit and seek to establish space to conduct community engagements for our youth and seniors.”

DEAD ARMADILLO SPOTTED IN SHELBY

A dead armadillo has been spotted on the side of highway 74 across from China Buffet in Shelby.

As a non-native species of North Carolina, the nine banded Armadillo was first spotted in the state in 2007 and has been migrating North due to a string of mild winters.

BREAKING: PROTESTS ON THE COURT SQUARE IN SHELBY AFTER SHELBY PD ALTERCATION

Earlier today, video footage from a doorbell camera was posted on social media depicting an incident in which a woman was struck multiple times during an arrest by an officer of the Shelby Police Department in Shelby, North Carolina.

Shortly after being posted, the video went viral and a protest at the Court Square in Shelby materialized. Holding signs with statements such as "Stop the violence" and "Chivalry is dead", members of the local community quickly mobilized to express outrage in regard to the incident.

At this time, an official statement has not been released to social media by the Shelby Police Department. The nearby Cleveland County Sheriff's Office was not involved in the incident and has released a statement to social media condemning the actions depicted in the video.
