In Weekend W
A Brunswick County Sheriff's
Department deputy wrecked his
county cruiser early Sunday morning
near Ash while attempting to rush a
fellow lawman to the hospital.
According to a sheriff's department
report filed by Deputy Kevin
Holden, the accident occurred Sunday
around 2:30 a.m., at the intersection
of Exum Road and N.C. 130.
Holden, who was the driver, had been
dispatched to the Exum Road area to
investigate a reported traffic accident.
After units from the sheriff's
department and Shallotte Police
were unable to locate a mishap,
Shallotte Police Officer William Roy
Kohler contacted Holden by radio
and asked to meet him "in a hurry"
at the intersection of Exum and Mill
Branch Roads, Holden said.
Holden met Kohler and began
transporting him in the county car to
The Brunswick Hospital near Supply
after Kohler complained of numbness
in his left arm and chest pains.
Due to poor visibility' from heavy fog,
Holden was unable to stop at the N.C.
130 intersection and skidded across
the highway into a wooded area, he
said. The deputy later discovered
that the stop sign on Exum Road had
been knocked down prior to his accident.
Holden and Kohler were not hurt in

the mishap. Highway Patrol Trooper
R.V. West arrived on the accident
scene and transported Kohler to the
hospital, Holden said. The policeman
apparently was checked and released,
because he was back on duty
Monday night, according to a
spokesperson at Shallotte Town Hall.
Chief Deputy John Marlow said
Monday that damages to Holden's
patrol car were estimated at less
than $500. No charges were filed
against Holden in connection with the
wTeck, Marlow said.
In another weekend accident, a
Southport man was hurt when his
motorcycle crashed near Bolivia. According
to Highway Patrol
spokesperson Ruby Oakley, the
wreck happened Saturday at noon on
Midway Road.
The 1989 Yamaha motorcycle
driven by Kelvin Leon Jackson, 28,
was traveling nvpr 100 mnh whon it
ran off the right side of the road and
struck an embankment, Ms. Oakley
said.
She added that Jackson suffered incapacitating
injuries and was taken
by ambulance to The Brunswick
Hospital. Damage to the motorcycle
was estimated at $6,000.
Trooper B.L. Wilkes charged
Jackson with speeding and driving
without an operator's license.

residents John St. George Gorman
and Aaron Larkins against Long
Beach Police officers Danny L.
Laughren, William Sisk, Chief W.A.
Workman, Town Manager Gary Britt
and the Town of Long Beach.
According to the complaint, the
lawsuit stems from an Aug. 6, 1989,
incident in which Officers Laughren
and Sisk forcibly arrested the plaintiffs
at the Long Beach residence of
Larkins' mother-in-law. The officers
had been dispatched to the home at
the request of Larkins' wife.
The suit charees that the two of
ficers used excessive force in making
the arrests, and names Workman
and Britt in their supervisory
capacities. In the incident, Larkins
was struck by a flashlight and immobilized
with an electric "stun
gun;" Gorman was hit with the
flashlight, requiring stitches in his
forehead, the complaint says.
Both suits also request jury trials,
and ask for $10,000 in both compensatory
and punitive damages for
each plaintiff.
The plaintiffs in both cases are
represented by Shallotte attorney
Davey Stanley.
