Good morning, Mooresville.

Justyn Jack Jenkins, 26, from Mooresville died when his disabled 2021 Hyundai Kona—lying sideways after an earlier collision—was hit by a 2019 Freightliner near mile marker 30 on I-77 early Tuesday at about 3 a.m. as the driver, Hartford Leon Cunningham, 58 from Charlotte, was uninjured and investigators said speed and impairment were not factors during a three-hour roadway closure.

57-year-old Barry Wayne Stewart — held at Piedmont Correctional Institution in Salisbury — pleaded guilty pursuant to an Alford plea for possession with intent to sell or deliver a controlled substance within 1,000 feet of a park and was sentenced today to 26-44 months in prison by Iredell County Superior Court.

A Statesville man on probation for drug convictions, Kelley Lamont Allison Jr., 33, was arrested on April 4 after trying to avoid an Iredell County Sheriff’s Office checkpoint on Highway 64 West near Tarlton Road—officers later discovered MDMA, marijuana, and a handgun in his vehicle, resulting in new charges.

A man from Iredell County was arrested for avoiding a checkpoint—he faces drug and weapon charges, sheriff said.

Iredell-Statesville Schools Board of Education Vice Chair Abby Trent resigned her post effective April 4 because she moved out of Iredell County after facing harassment and stalking from a family member—she will no longer serve on the board.

The board will nominate her replacement around April 17 and choose a new vice chair on April 14.

The NCDOT Spring Litter Sweep will start April 12 and continue through April 26, inviting residents and NCDOT crews to collect litter and beautify roadsides (volunteers can pick up free cleanup supplies including gloves, safety vests, and trash bags from local county maintenance offices).

Piedmont HealthCare Mooresville Imaging installed a new Fuji Film iStream CT Scanner (offering 128-slice scans with lower radiation and faster results) at 128 Medical Park Road.
