The event featured a breakfast by IHOP of Statesville and introduced families to the Ranch’s mission (organizers plan to host similar events in the future).
🚧 Accidents
A Statesville man, 25-year-old Seth Allen Paynter, was fatally injured early Sunday morning when his 2019 Polaris RZR lost control and overturned on Saw Mills Road near Union Grove Road in northern Iredell County (alcohol reportedly contributed) as he was not wearing a seatbelt.

The Iredell County Sheriff’s Office reported felony arrests from May 2 to May 9 that included charges ranging from drug offenses to assault and identity theft in Statesville, Mooresville + other nearby areas, with several individuals such as Mooresville’s Stacey Gitania McKinney and Robert Logan Sloop among those arrested.
