4-year-old escapes serious injury in accidental shooting
A 4-year-old boy escaped serious injury Sunday when he accidentally shot himself.
Investigators were called to a Mooresboro home around 3:30 p.m. There they found the boy and father awaiting help.
According to the Cleveland County Sheriff’s Office, the father and son went to a relative’s house where the man planned to do some remodeling work. The little boy was sitting in the living room watching TV while his father worked.
At some point, the child started looking around for the remote control when he found the gun. Investigators believe he was playing with the weapon when it went off. A bullet grazed the right side of his head, never actually entering his body.

Sheriff: Drug dealers led to the deaths of two men
More than seven months have passed since drug overdoses claimed the lives of two Cleveland County men just nine days apart.
This week, the Cleveland County Sheriff’s Office issued arrest warrants for two people allegedly connected with those men’s deaths.
Though two completely separate instances, they have a grave commonality, said Cleveland County Sheriff Alan Norman.
“It is extremely disturbing to see the trend of people purchasing narcotics not knowing they are laced with Fentanyl or other toxic substances, which often times leads to the user’s death,” he said.

The Cleveland County Sheriffâs Office is investigating an animal cruelty case that could result in multiple charges after a tip led deputies to a reported cockfight in rural Noble.
Shortly after 10 a.m. on Sunday, April 18, deputies responded to the area of 26th B Street, Noble, where multiple people had gathered at a rural residence. As deputies arrived, people gathering at the location fled the scene, running into the surrounding wooded area. Multiple roosters and other items associated with cockfighting were observed by deputies.
After obtaining a search warrant, investigators interviewed numerous adults and searched the property, seizing 34 roosters and a large amount of cockfighting paraphernalia.
