Brunswick elected official charged in connection with death threat to local state senator
A Brunswick County elected official and former state auditor candidate was arrested and charged in connection with threatening to kill a state lawmaker. On Friday night, June 20, Anthony Street, 44, of Supply was arrested by the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation for communicating threats via social media to N.C. Sen. Bill Rabon. "Last Thursday, the Brunswick County Sheriff's Office requested assistance from the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation (SBI) after receiving information about threatening posts made on social media toward legislators. Consequently, the SBI began an investigation into several of these posts," a SBI news release made June 24 states. On June 23, Street made his first court appearance in Brunswick County, the release states. The presiding judge modified his bond, increasing it from $2,000 to a secured amount of $25,000. Street currently serves on the Brunswick Soil and Water District Board of Supervisors as an elected member. Rabon, who represents Brunswick, Columbus and New Hanover counties, voted in favor of North Carolina House Bill 442, a bill that will prohibit shrimp trawling within one-half mile of the shoreline of all coastal waters. The North Carolina fishing industry strongly opposes the bill and have taken to social media to voice their concerns, claiming the bill will destroy local seafood businesses. One of those individuals has been Street. About a week ago, Street posted on Facebook a screenshot of a text he sent to Rabon. The text requests Rabon to stop the shrimp trawling legislation, noting it will "severely" impact many people. The arrest warrant states Street "unlawfully, willfully and feloniously did knowingly make threat to kill Senator Bill Rabon" and other legislatures by a Facebook post. The warrant stated the post warned Rabon and said "you deserve to lose your lives and that all senators in Raleigh need to understand what happened to Melissa Hortman and John Hoffman in Minnesota can happen here in North Carolina." On June 14, Hortman, a Minnesota House of Representatives speaker, and her husband were stalked and killed. Hoffman, a Minnesota state senator, and his wife were also stalked and shot but they survived. Though it is unclear how the bill will directly impact Street, he wrote in his affidavit of indigency, "I have been unemployed since oyster season ended." His message to Rabon also stated he spent much of his adult life in the commercial fishing industry. 'While the commissioners do not have any authority over this individual or the board they were elected to, we strongly condemn any kind of language that perpetuates violence or threats against anyone — ever," Brunswick County Board of Commissioners Chairman Mike Forte said in a public statement. In a public statement released on June 24 by Brunswick Soil and Water Conservation Director Elliot Swain, he said the district condemns expression of violence, intimidation, or threatening language directed toward any public official, including members of the North Carolina General Assembly. "As stewards of our natural resources and representatives of the public interest, we believe that civil discourse, mutual respect, and adherence to lawful conduct are essential to a functioning democracy. ... We stand firmly in support of all individuals' right to participate in the democratic process without fear of harm or retribution," Swain said. Both Forte and Swain said there is "no place" for threats of violence and harmful speech in the community. Asked if Street will be removed from the board, Swain told StarNews the North Carolina Soil and Water Conservation Commission holds the authority for removal at the district's request. Swain said the board is aware of Street's actions, what has transpired and is discussing further action. Street has run for North Carolina State Auditor at least twice. Most recently, he lost in the Republican primary vote on March 5, 2024. During the 2020 election, Street was on the ballot for state auditor and garnered 49.12% of votes. However, he lost to Beth Wood by less than 95,000 votes. In 2022, Street ran for the Brunswick County Clerk of Superior Court and lost. The SBI's investigation into this case is ongoing, and no further information is available at this time.

‘You're never the sum of your worst mistake': April Barber Scales, from prisoner to advocate
RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) — Sentenced to prison for the rest of her life for the murder of her grandparents, April Barber Scales now spends her time on the outside making amends. Thirty years after the then 15-year-old pleaded guilty, April was granted clemency. In the decades that followed her guilty plea, new research on adolescent brain development emerged and laws regarding juvenile sentencing changed across the country, including North Carolina. In 2021, the newly established Juvenile Sentencing Review Board considered 300 petitions. Of those, April was one of three people to be granted clemency by then governor Roy Cooper. After three years of probation, she is now fully free. To understand how April received her freedom, a moment that was full of joyful tears, you have to know the story of the tears of sorrow, regret and fear that were shed in Wilkes County back in 1991 and 1992. 'I didn't understand that I was actually being mistreated, so to speak, by him. I was still very much in love. You know, this was my boyfriend. This was my son's father. This happened, but somehow, some way, we're still going to work through it. And my naive mind said it's going to be okay at some point somehow,' April told CBS 17's Russ Bowen. At 14 years-old, April became pregnant by a 29-year-old. It was a relationship that was encouraged by her own mother. But it was a pregnancy that was discouraged by her grandparents who had adopted April. 'It was supposed to be like a Lifetime movie. Everyone paints this picture where some tragedy happens, and everyone is all so accepting and comes out on the lawn and hugs everyone and all the bad is forgiven and everyone moves forward. And that's the way it was supposed to be. And then it wasn't. And it couldn't be undone.' As for what April would say to her grandparents, if she could see them face-to-face, she said she would, 'profusely apologize and explain to them I never wanted to harm them; I only wanted them to see my point of view.' The house fire she and her then boyfriend, Clinton Johnson, were accused of setting killed her grandparents, Aaron and Lillie barber. April faced two murder charges at 15 years old. 'They had me kind of painted like Long Island Lolita, like I was the mastermind and that he was under my influence. 106 days after I gave birth, he [the defense attorney] brought a plea to me saying that I would be wasting the taxpayer's time and money if I took it to trial. And I plead guilty to murder, to the two counts, not knowing that the judge was going to make the sentences consecutive.' April was also threatened with the death penalty. After entering prison, the teenage mother did get the opportunity to create a relationship with her son, Colt. Colt went on to attend Appalachian State and played on the university's football team. It's a relationship that has survived. 'He's been by my side since he has been able to do so. And we maintain a very still close and open relationship. He is now 33. He is a very accomplished young man. He's a marine with a lot of good things behind him. And we still maintain that, just communicating and visiting as much as we can,' she said. Ten years into her sentence, April was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. In one of April's published books, she recalls what that was like. Reading an excerpt for CBS 17, she said, 'MS is such an iffy, scary disease. How could my life be over at 25? We discussed treatments to slow the progression of the disease. I began to research as much as I could.' April has also written about coming to terms with her mother's decisions as a child and as an adult. 'Shelia attempted to leave on a better note than she came—promising to write, visit, send money and find a lawyer to help April obtain freedom. April heard these words, but deep down knew they were false,' she read. April's mother died while April was in prison, however she has become close with her biological father. Since her release in 2022, April has become an advocate for juvenile defenders and a messenger of hope and frank reality for those on the inside. She said she does believe that she is reaching people. 'I do. I do in in small increments,' she said. 'I do think I'm reaching them. I developed this mantra in there: 'One-day, one-step, one-moment at a time.' And I think that's how I reach them.' April continued to say, 'I would like to reach them all and snap my fingers and be able to go back and change policy and how they're treated in prison. But you know, that's not going to happen overnight. I wasn't released overnight, so I know that big changes don't come overnight, but that's why I keep at it, because I do believe they will come. April recognized that there are people who might say that she should not have been released from prison for a crime that she admitted committing, even if she was 15 years old at the time. 'I want those people to know you're never the sum of your worst mistake and I am not a juvenile. I am not someone who will make rash decisions now or be influenced. You know I have made a lot of mistakes, as a lot of people, and I've learned to live with those mistakes, and I understand that not everyone is going to be as supportive. And I just let my success be something that those people can hopefully look up to one day as opposed to looking down on me.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

NC lawmakers approve ICE measure, sending issue to governor
RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) — Tuesday, the North Carolina General Assembly approved a measure that would require several state agencies to work with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The bill now goes to Governor Josh Stein, who could sign or reject the measure. The bill requires the State Bureau of Investigation, North Carolina State Highway Patrol and the N.C. Department of Adult Corrections to enter into agreements with ICE. Protesters gathered outside the legislative building as lawmakers prepared to vote Tuesday. About 35 protesters, wearing green, and carrying signs urged North Carolina senators not to pass Senate bill 153, which requires the SBI, Highway patrol, Department of Public Safety, and Department of Adult Corrections, to enter into agreements with ICE and have employees, trained by ICE, determine if anyone in their custody is not authorized to be in the country. The bill also orders the state to ensure those in the country illegally will not receive benefits like housing assistance, Medicaid, or unemployment and says cities or towns that adopt sanctuary ordinances can be sued if someone who is not documented commits a crime. The measure also orders that colleges in the UNC system must follow immigration laws. Dr. Misti Nicole Harper urged lawmakers to consider the consequences. 'I beg them to look around their communities and really think about what it's going to do to target Black, Brown, and working-class folks and really think about how their lives are about to be affected,' Harper said. Senator Phil Berger, President Pro Tempore of the NC Senate responded. 'Tell the community that we have certain laws. If they disagree with what those laws are and they are federal laws, then they need to work to have those federal laws changed.' The Senate voted to send that bill to the governor. The Senate also passed HB 318. It would expand the list of charges that would require law enforcement to determine someone's citizenship status and to notify ICE immediately if that status is in question. That bill heads back to the House. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
