The last in line
This once productive dairy, in the western-part of
Hoke County, is now waiting the cows. SUos and
barns are the only clues as to what used to go on at
this farm. This was the last dairy in the county to
close.

sent to prison la* TOk*after ha"
int bis probation revoked and be
ing convicted in Hoke County
District Court of
possessing a
drivers license known to be revok
ed.
The court woes of Raymond
Leroy Clark are not over though as
he must . be returned to Hoke
County to be tried for driving
while impaired (DWI), according
to court records.
Excluding any prison time he
may receive on the DWI charge,
Clark already has been sentenced
to six months for the probation
violations and an additional 90
days for the illegal license charge.
No where in the court records
does it spedfV that Clark, diagnos
ed as a chrOnic alcoholic with other
health problems by a local doctor,
be sent to a prison hospital in the
state. ?
"If a man goes to prison with
serious health problems, they will
help him," District Court Judge
Warren Pate said.
According to probation viola
tion reports by Probation Officer
George McGuire, Clark did little
to help himself.
While on probation, Clark mov
ed from his Raeford address
without telling his probation of
ficer, did not report to McGuire as
directed and failed to get alcohol
counseling from Sandhills Mental
Health Center as directed in the
terms of his probation.
"His prison term just may have
helped to save his lift." fate said.
Ckrk was tried while the DWI
case is pending htrtittf time
had run out on a safe keeping
order signed by Superior jCourt
Jodfe Coy Brewer allowing him to
l^lMpt at Cintfai Prison's
hospital' facility, according to
Hoke County Assistant District
Attorney Jean roweU.
The order w4s signed on the
recommendation of Raeford's Dr.
Riley Jordan.
When Clerk moved from
Raeford without telling McGuire,
he apparently went to a Bethesda
House, a "half-way" house in
Aberdeen.
Clark further violated his proba
tion while there, according to
McGuire in reports.
Clark drank while at the home
and then left the shelter without
notifying McGuire again, reports
say.
?To add to the string of viola
tions, Clark failed to show up for
court when his DWI case was to be
heard originally, according to
Pate.
"Probation is a right, not a
privilege. It is not something to be
abused," Pate said.
In other court action, a Raeford
man was arrested and sentenced to
jail after being charged with con
tempt of court.
Ronnie Campbell, who had no
cases to bring before the court, was
cited for repeatedly talking out
loud in court despite requests from
the bench to be quiet, records
show.
' Campbell was ordered to take a
brcathalizer test after btia0f]k
According to records, the man
registered .15 on the meter.
Legally impaired is . 10, officials
?ay.
Campbell was sentenced to
spend 10 days in the Hoke County
Jail.
Another Raeford man, Jerry
Dean Cummings, 23, was sentenc
ed to 10 days in jail after being
convicted of assault, records say.
According to a warrant for his
arrest, Cummings beat Mildred L.
Locklear in the face with his fists.
The warrant was issued on
January 10, records say.
In another assault case Marice
McLauchlin, 17, was given a 30
day sentence suspended for one
year supervised probation after be
ing convicted of abusing Kimberly
Bratcher, say records.
According to a warrant issued
on March 12, McLauchlin twisted
the woman's arm and pushed her
around while holding her throat.
The Raeford man was ordered
by the court to continue mental
health counciling until released by
his probation officer.
Jerry Roscoe Bratcher, a
Raeford resident, was given a six
month suspended sentence after
being convicted of shoplifting two
cartons of cigarettes from the local
A&P, records say.
Bratcher, 34, was placed on un
supervised probation for one year
and fined $100, records say.

SI, 800 in property.
On last Thursday, Betty Jones

Raeford's A&P food store.

Raeford, has been charged with
trying to take three packages of
