  • Aurora driver sentenced to five years in prison for hit-and-run that killed man, dog

    [ad_1]

    A judge in Arapahoe County’s 18th Judicial District court sentenced an Aurora driver to five years in prison, followed by five years of mandatory parole, for the fatal killing of a 65-year-old man and his dog.

    On the night of April 3, Michael Graham-Hyde, 73, killed Rafael Alberto Buitrago and his dog, Nova, while they were on a walk near East Wesley Drive and East Caspian Circle.

    Graham-Hyde told police he had been awake for 38 hours after returning from an overseas trip when he fell asleep at the wheel and hit Buitrago and Nova, according to an arrest affidavit.

    He got out of his SUV, saw Buitrago and “panicked,” choosing to drive away when he saw another car coming because he thought the other driver would stop and help, police wrote in the affidavit.

    Graham-Hyde stood before Arapahoe County District Court Judge LaQunya Baker at Monday afternoon’s sentencing hearing and expressed deep remorse for crashing into Buitrago and fleeing the scene, a decision he said fills him with shame that he will carry for the rest of his life.

  • Orange County Adopts CDC Initiative to Reduce Fatal & Nonfatal Overdoses

    Orange County Adopts CDC Initiative to Reduce Fatal & Nonfatal Overdoses

    [ad_1]

    In order to address the increasing number of overdose deaths related to prescription opioids and illicit drugs, Orange County has engaged with the Centers for Disease Control and recently was awarded a grant funded by the CDC to implement its Stop Overdose campaigns locally.

    The series of campaigns focuses on four key areas: the dangers of illicitly manufactured fentanyl, the risks and consequences of mixing drugs (polysubstance use), the lifesaving power of naloxone, and the importance of reducing stigma around recovery and treatment options. The messaging highlights drug-use trends and encourages harm-reduction practices.

    “We worked with CDC staff to determine the best messages for our community, and they helped us identify our priorities,” explained Dr. Thomas Hall, director, Orange County Drug-Free Coalition. “The campaigns are based on best-practice marketing strategies, and the messages are simple and direct. Each message has an action associated with the information presented.”

    The connecting feature of the campaigns is the Stop Overdose website, which was launched as a resource library for people who use drugs and their loved ones. Each subpage on the website features campaign messaging, support data and resources for the intended audience – those who use drugs between the ages of 18-34.

    “There’s a big stigma attached to addiction, so we need to get specific messages out to people who use illicit drugs, including that the community offers access to free medicine that reverses opioid overdoses and free treatment,” asserted Megan Giddens, senior program manager, Orange County Drug-Free Office. “This campaign really helps get these messages to its intended audience.”

    Three hundred people die of a drug overdose every day in this country, and the availability of illicit fentanyl significantly increases the likelihood of opioid overdoses and overdose deaths. In our community and across the nation, deaths related to mixing fentanyl with other drugs, such as cocaine and methamphetamines, are most prominent.

    For more about local strategies, programs and resources, visit Orange County Responds.

    “The Drug Enforcement Administration reported 7 out of every 10 pills seized by the agency contain a lethal dose of fentanyl, yet drug users may not know the risk of fentanyl being present,” said Dr. Hall. “Raising awareness of these risks is a priority for Orange County, and the Drug-Free Coalition is committed to expanding harm reduction strategies to reduce drug-related deaths in our community.”

    Giddens agreed the priority is saving lives. “We have high overdose rates in this region, so Stop Overdose is a critical education piece,” she said. “We want to be proactive, and this represents an effective preventive measure.”

    1 juvenile dead, 2 hospitalized when driver overturns car, crashes into tree in St. Mary’s Co. – WTOP News

    A juvenile is dead and two other juveniles were sent to the hospital with life-threatening injuries after the car they were in overturned and struck a tree in St. Mary’s County, Maryland, early Saturday morning.

    A juvenile is dead and two other juveniles were sent to the hospital with life-threatening injuries after the car they were in overturned and struck a tree in St. Mary’s County, Maryland, early Saturday morning.

    Ashley Nicole Nolan, 27, of Leonardtown, was driving a 2008 Honda Odyssey north on Point Lookout Road near the intersection with Chingville Road when she “failed to negotiate a turn,” the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release.

    The car then left the road and “overturned several times” before striking a tree, the sheriff’s office said.

    Three juveniles in the car were “not correctly restrained” in the car, the sheriff’s office said.

    One of the juveniles was transported to MedStar St. Mary’s Hospital where they were pronounced dead. The two other juveniles were ejected from the car and were transported with life-threatening injuries to local trauma centers, the sheriff’s office said.

    Nolan was transported to MedStar St. Mary’s Hospital with minor injures.

    The sheriff’s office said they believe that alcohol and speed contributed to the crash.

    “No day should ever begin with news like this,” said Sheriff Steve Hall in the release. “It is both difficult to process and to believe. Based on the preliminary investigative information, decisions were made that have caused the loss of the innocent and marred the lives of families in our communities forever.”

    The sheriff’s office asks anyone who may have witnessed the collision or the events leading up to the crash to email Cpl. Dale Reppel at Dale.Reppel@stmaryscountymd.gov or call 240-496-6694.

    Fatal gunshot kills beloved 25-year-old man in Stockton

    [ad_1]

    (FOX40.COM) — One man is dead after he suffered a fatal gunshot wound in Stockton on Tuesday.

    At around 2:47 p.m., Stockton Police Department officers said they responded to the 2400 block East Taylor Street for a report of a person shot. Upon arrival, police located a 25-year-old man with a gunshot wound. He was transported to a local hospital where he died about an hour later.

    “It was senseless. He was a good person. Had a good heart,” said Stockton resident Jefferson Strickland- someone who said he knew the victim.

    Strickland said he knew the victim since he was young. He watched him grow up and become a young father with kids of his own.

    “For somebody to meet such a tragic end, for something we don’t even see the reason why, is ridiculous,” Strickland said.

    Stockton police said there haven’t been any arrests or motive reported.
