Dunn
from pagr At
said. "When you've done tome
thing to long, it'sin your blood."
Dunn claim* in the lawsuit that
Lieutenant Danny Nunn. hi*
supervisor, treated him unfairly.
Dunn, the only Mack working as a
detective in the adult crime area at
the time, says hi* relationship with
Nunn. who Was also the lead
investigator in Dunn's forgery case
was rocky.
"I got along with everyone
back there," Dunn said "Most of
my problem* were with Lieutenant
Nunn. I felt like he wa* picking oil
me all the lime. At times when I
would be on the computer, he
would come in and look at me or
sit down behind me. There would
be no one in there except he and I.
Can you work with someone
standing at the door looking at
you supervising'/ He did that regu
larly
According to Dunn, he com
plained to High Point Police Chief
Louis Quijas that Nunn had treat
ed him unfairly.
"When 1 had my hearing with
Mr. Quijas I said 'Danny and 1
have always had a problem, could
you please let somebody else inves
tigate this. I've always gotten a
'standard'evaluation but everyone
else has gotten an 'above standard'
evaluation.' But he didn't want to
hear it."
Calls to Quijas' office were not
returned.
Dunn's ex-wife Gwendolyn
Tyson accused him of forgery on a
$21.000 check written to the cou
ple by Fleet Funding, a home
insurance company. The money
was used to help repair damages
caused by a 1994 fire at the cou
ple's home.
Dunn and Tyson have been
divorced since 1981, but the home
was in both their names In 1994 a
fire caused damaged to the home
and checks were issuctj by the
home insurance company to repair
the house, which Tyson occupied
at the time.
"Over a period of time she was
getting checks in increments and
she would run me down at the
High Point Police Department and
ask me to sign these checks," he
said. "My name was always on
these checks plus the contractor
that these checks went to."
Problems arose when the con
tractors were not being paid and
Dunn said he wasn't sure what was
going on. Some time later he got a
call from Rufus Bostic Jr., a High
Point resident who said Tyson had
pawned the check to him for $25
dollars,
Bostic told Dunn he had the
check. Tyson was in jail at the time
and according to Dunn, his
daughter got his wife's permission
to sign the check to pay the con
tractor doing work on the house.
"At that particular time I felt
like what I was doing was right,"
Dunn said. "Looking back on it
now maybe I could have done
something a little different. I was
under a lot of pressure and I was
trying to help Ms. Tyson."
From 1994 to 1996 Dunn says
Ty*oo never said a word about the
S2I.000 check. According to
Dunn, his ex-wife - whom he iden
tified as an assailant in an armed
robbery - claimed he forged the
check to get even with him.
There was no problem until
she went to jail." he said. "...When
the detective said I picked Ms.
Tyson out in court, her mother
and family said I'm the one that
fingered her and caused her to
make time ... so she's supposed to
get me from now on."
Tyson is currenly serving a 20
year sentence in Women's Prison
in Raleigh.
While in prison Dunn claims
Tyson wrote several letters to for
mer High Point Police Chief Jim
Home and former City Manager
Louis Price stating that he forged
her name on the $21,000 check.
The investigation began when
several of the letters were sent to
the Attorney General's office and
Nunn began his investigation.
"(Nunn) said T need to talk to
you a second about that check you
forged for your ex-wife's," Dunn
said. "He didn't say I want to talk
to you about possible forgery, he
already had me guilty," said Dunn.
"I said 'I didn't forge any check'.
After he read me my rights I said 'I
want to see my attorney'. I refused
to talk to him because I had that
right and I think that made him
mad and he proceeded on to inves
tigate the case."
Despite his dismissal, Dunn
says he'll continue to seek rein
statement.

from page Al
branch had a history in the com
munity and we wanted to keep
that. We looked around at different
libraries to see what they were
doing in communities similiar to
East Winston."
East Winston residents worried
the older branch would suffer after
the new larger Carver School Road
Branch opened last summer. In an
emotional forum sponsored by the
Black Leadership Round table, citi
zens voiced their concerns about
losing the library and were reas
sured by library officials that not
only would the branch - the oldest
in Forsyth County - survive, it
would be better.
"They're not in competition,"
Sprinkle-Hamlin said of the two
branches. "They offers some simil
iar services, but they are very dif
ferent. I think its great that East
Winston has two different branch
es in its community."
Library officials see the branch
as a resource tool for East Winston
that will feature a host of materials
and workshops aimed at serving
community needs.
The library's new offerings also
include The Children's Resource
Center, which will teach parents
and children the importance of
reading. The center will be lead by
the library's Children's Outreach
Department, a staff of seven who
specialize in literacy programs for
children.
"They will be doing special
programs for children, young
adults and parents," Sprinkle
Hamlin said. "The community
ak-ady knows them as a very
exciting part of what we do."
But the new offering will not
detract from the branch's tradi
tional role in the community. It
will continue to host a portion of
Kwanzaa. '
For branch manager Tim Jack
ion, The East Winston Heritage
Library is sort of a dream come
true. Eventually in addition to the f
Atkins collection, Jackson wants
the library to house an oral history
of East Winston.
"There's a lot of history here," *'
he said. "I think this is a great
place to display it."
Following is a list of activies
planned for Monday's grand open
ing:
* Noon - Christ Rescue Temple
Daycare Children's Choir.
? 2 p.m. - The "Jazzy
Grannies."
? 3 p.m. - The "Monkey and
the Crocodile."
* 4 p.m. - Awarding winning
children's storyteller Pat Stepney
will perform.

North Carolina is growing, with lots of new residences and businesses, increasing the
demand for fax machines, computer modems, and phones.
0 I
To accommodate this growth, North Carolina has added two new area codes. As of
September 21,1998, you must use new area code 252 instead of 919 for long distance
calls to and within the highlighted area in the eastern section of the state. For long
distance calls to and within the highlighted area in the West, you must use 828
instead of 704 as of October 5,1998.
If you live in either of these areas and your phone number begins with any of the prefixes
listed at right, your area code will change to 828 or 252.
Please make a note of these changes and remember that you may also need to reprogram
telecommunications equipment like cell phones, PBXs (consult your vendor), speed
dialers, fax machines, etc. to make sure all of your calls complete properly.
Local calling rates will not be affected by the change. For more information, visit our
website at vrwwbellsouth.com/areacode, or call us at 1800 964-7941.
