Here's your local news at a glance for Saturday, the 6th of September.
Good morning, Greenville.
The Greenville Police Department mourned retired K9 Audie (who served with handler Chad Bowen for nine years) after his passing, and the community remembers his brave service.
David Lever was arraigned today at the Pitt County Courthouse — he will be asked to enter a plea for triple murder charges in the killings of Anthony and Paula Gribble and ECU professor Enrique Reyes.
The City of Greenville launched a shuttle service to connect downtown with Dickinson Avenue after customers faced detours reaching a local restaurant — the service is expected to support area businesses and ease traffic.
A public hearing for the Community Transportation Program Application will be held on September 15 at 6 p.m. before the Pitt County Board of Commissioners in Greenville—written comments must be submitted by September 12.
The application seeks a mix of state and local funds for coordinating current transportation services.
A local group is running Penny Pinchers Health Grocery Store Tours to show that healthy food can be affordable.
ECU Health’s De’Vette Thomas said the tours use grocery visits and easy budgeting tips (funded by a Duke Endowment grant) so shoppers can include key foods in their diets.
Today, ECU Police introduced two new K-9s—Brixi and Larry—to scan for explosive threats at the season’s first home football game at Dowdy Ficklen Stadium, where 30-40 thousand fans are expected.
Officers will also offer cooling stations and extra support from local law enforcement and SBI to keep fans safe in the heat.
