Todd Dettor, 18, was approached at approximately 10:30 p.m. by a masked gunman. According to police reports, the assailant held a handgun to Deuor's stomach and demanded money. Dettor complied and the gunman ran with the wallet. The gunman ran toward Lebanon Avenue. "It happened quite fast," Dettor said. "I didn’t think about anything happening to me. The area was lit fairly well. People walked by right before and right after it happened." The wallet was found approximately two hours after the robbery, minus a small amount of money and Dettor's Elon ID, on a grassy area between NationsBank and the Elon Community Church. After his encounter with the assailant, Dettor alerted security immediately.

Tess Elhott, stunned many including Mike Mooney, president of the Student Government Association. Mooney said he and Elliott, the spokesperson for the Alamance Coalition Against Drug Abuse, had worked closely on a community service program SGA will be promoting. ‘Things were ready to happen, ready to go. But now, with Tess’ unfortunate accident, we are in a state of limbo ... she was coordinating everything,” Mooney said. Tess Elliott Elliott presented the program, “Coupon Stickers For Drug Free at the SGA meeting last Thursday* She said the program is an effort to raise funds for drug pjcvention programs for kids. “We will continue the program,” he said. “We haven’t quit, we’re just on hold.” On hold until another program representative can help with the details, Mooney said. The program will raise money through manufacturer coupons for grocery items. SUckers with the ACADA emblem can be placed on coupons and presented at Alamance County Winn Dixie grocery stores. The coupon items must be purchased. The value of the coupon will be donated to the program instead of deducted from the grocery bill. At this time, the stickers can only be used in Alamance County ^inn Dixie stores. Elliott told the SGA last week that one SO cent coupon can sponsor a child in a drug prevention program for up to two weeks. “There are very few people that we know for only a short time that make the sort of impression on us that Tess did,” Mooney said. “But we will pick up and move on. That’s what Tess would’ve wanted,” he said. SGA’s promotion of the program is at a stand-still for now, but the Drug Free Kids stickers will be available in the SGA office in the Long Student Center and at Winn Dixie stores, Mooney said. •. -
