WILMINGTON, N.C. (WECT) - Wilmington Police Chief Donny Williams, New Hanover County Sheriff Ed McMahon, and District Attorney Ben David held a joint media briefing Monday evening and announced arrests in connection with a shooting at Break Time Billiards last month.
âIt has become a nearly nightly occurrence for our officers and deputies to encounter an armed individual when theyâre out there trying to do their jobs,â said Chief Williams as he opened the press conference. âIâve been in this business nearly 29 years and Iâve never seen anything like this.â
