ALE conducts statewide enforcement operation
related crimes and proactively reduce crime around establishments where alcoholic beverages are sold,” said Israel Morrow, Assistant Director for Operations of Alcohol Law Enforcement. “By partnering with sheriffs and police chiefs around the State, we’re able to maximize our efforts, connect with our communities and make these locations safer for North Carolinians.” Throughout the state, 28 ABC permitted businesses were discovered to be in violation of state laws and regulations. ALE special agents will submit violation reports to the North Carolina Alcoholic Beverage Control Commission documenting the criminal and regulatory violations which could result in fines, suspensions, or revocations of ABC permits. The statewide enforcement operation was focused in Brunswick, Caswell, Craven, Dare, Davidson, Durham, Forsyth, Guilford, Jackson, Johnston, Mecklenburg, New Hanover, Pender, Pitt, Rockingham, Union, Vance, and Wake Counties.

Ingles Nutrition Notes written by Ingles Dietitian Leah McGrath NutrieNt DeNse versus Calorie DeNse Have you heard the term "nutrient dense"? This often means something very different than calorie dense. A food or beverage that is nutrient dense is a good source of nutrients like protein, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals and fiber. A food that is calorie dense is a good source of calories- but usually not a good source of nutrients, or the nutrients may be overwhelmed by the amount of fat, sugar and sodium. Here are some examples:

In recognition of Alcohol Awareness Month, ALE special agents concluded a statewide enforcement operation on Friday resulting in over 200 persons charged and seizures of alcoholic beverages, drugs, firearms and cash. Across the eight districts, ALE special agents worked collectively to reduce alcohol related crimes and addressed problematic, high-crime areas around ABC-licensed and unlicensed illegal businesses. These concentrated efforts resulted in the service of two search warrants and the seizure of two firearms, a vehicle, various illegal controlled substances, and U.S. Currency. The offenses included 176 alcoholic beverage related charges, 136 drug related charges, as well as 64 felony charges. “ALE’s primary mission is to reduce alcohol

The influx of Jan. 6 cases is also complicating defendants’ ability to comply with the terms of their release. At the beginning of the April 20 hearing, Sullivan admonished Cantwell for violating his terms, and after setting the June 22 date he asked whether Cantwell had any questions about those terms. Cantwell replied that the violation consisted of failure to check in with the pretrial office, as he is required to do on a weekly basis. But he told Sullivan that he had tried his best to meet that requirement. “I went to call on a Friday, and the line was backed up for Lewis Easton Cantwell hours,” he said. “I called every hour. I have phone records of it too, where I called and called and I just couldn’t get through.” Pretrial Officer Christine Schuck, who works out of the office Cantwell is required to call into but is not his case manager, told Sullivan that the large volume of Jan. 6 cases combined with the pandemic protocols have presented a challenge. The sole person now working in the office sometimes answers 100 calls per day. “If we were back in the office, multiple people can answer it, but right now given the pandemic one person is able to answer that one line,” she said. “Pre-pandemic times it was much different.” Cantwell is being charged with six counts related to his alleged conduct Jan. 6 that carry a combined maximum sentence of 28 years. In a February interview with The Smoky Mountain News, Cantwell maintained that he was innocent of criminal wrongdoing.

BY HOLLY KAYS STAFF WRITER he large number of cases associated with the Capitol Riot Jan. 6 is causing some hiccups in the case of Lewis Easton Cantwell, a 35-year-old Sylva resident facing federal charges for his alleged actions that day. “I have to actually get in line to have that (discovery) produced to defense council,” Frederick Walton Yette of the U.S. Attorney’s Office told U.S. District Court Judge Emmet G. Sullivan during an April 20 hearing. “So while I produced what I think are probably the most important documents for Mr. Cantwell’s case and that I relied upon to actually bring charges, there is additional discovery to produce, and I just can’t say exactly when that would happen given the process.” Due to the number of defendants, the magnitude of videos and images, and the overlap in evidence for cases stemming from the events of Jan. 6, it will take time to fully complete the discovery process. Yette told Sullivan that his office has developed a formalized discovery process for the Jan. 6 cases. More than 400 people have been arrested in relation to the riot. Cantwell’s case is being heard by the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., but due to the ongoing pandemic the April 20 hearing was held via Zoom, with a call-in line available to the public. “I guess we just have to wait, unfortunately, given the circumstances with the case and the investigation the government is carrying on,” said A. Eduardo Balarezo, who is representing Cantwell. The parties agreed to waive provisions of federal law aimed at recognizing defendants’ rights to a speedy trial in order to allow enough time to wrap up discovery. Sullivan scheduled Cantwell’s next hearing for noon Tuesday, June 22 via Zoom.
