Personal Info Of 300 Lemoyne Owen Students Stolen
I got to visit one of my favorite places in Memphis, architecturally speaking. Some of the buildings on the LeMoyne-Owen campus are unchanged since their construction in the 60's and 70's. But that's not what brought me there. The theft of more than 300 student ID applications was the story. Local police and the feds are trying to help crack the case.

Another election night at The Peabody
Celebration at Peabody Hotel goes late, sales tax fails
I couldn't have asked for a more celebratory place to be 4 years ago than a Democratic Party event at The Peabody Hotel in Memphis. It was electrifying. The mood 4 years later approached the same level. I could hardly hear myself during this live shot. I tried to explain the mixed emotions some were having after a sales tax referendum went down in flames. But excitement over President Obama's re-election far outweighed any disappointment.

Trick-or-Treater Robbed of Candy on Halloween
Memphis Trick Or Treater Robbed Of Candy At Gunpoint
This story was pretty outrageous.. And we see a lot of that in Memphis. A 12 year-old admitted he was out too late on Halloween. A carload of crooks robbed him of his candy and cell phone. Every station worked on this story. But the kid and his mother spoke only with me.

Stuck on a Cruise During Sandy
Germantown Couple Stuck on Cruise Ship During Sandy
Wednesday was one of those days. My photog and I got sent to multiple breaking news stories in the afternoon. I ended up doing a live shot on a 3-car crash during rush hour. It was then time to worry about the 10:00 news. At least two stories fell through. Fortunately, a Nashville station called us about a Germantown optometrist who was apparently aboard a cruise ship during Hurricane Sandy. He had posted video on CNN's website. We tracked him down and he gave me a story.

Greenline attack victim talks to me.. And only me
Only On Five: Teen Attacked On Greenline Talks About Crime
I love whenever I can get the victim of a crime to speak when other stations are working the same story. In this case, it was a 16 year-old boy on his birthday. He was attacked on the popular Greenline trail which recently celebrated its 2nd anniversary. It's a shame things like this have to occur on such an incredibly cool Memphis amenity.

Girl Fight Crazy
Family Fights MCS After Girl Fight Caught On Camera
If had a dollar for every "girl fight caught on camera" story I've seen in the Memphis market.. Well, you know the rest. The truth of the matter is they pop up on YouTube way too often.. And they often occur on school campuses. Such was the case with this story I did. The difference is the grandmother of one of the girls in the fight decided to wage her own battle against the school district. She was quite the character.

Another noose? Really?
Hazing Incident Possibly Involving Noose Leads To Expulsions
I went to Wynne, AR to cover a story about some sort of hazing incident involving the junior varsity football team. I didn't know it possibly involved a noose and an African American player until I made contact with family and friends. How, in 2012, does anybody think it's okay to use a noose in any manner? The school board has the final say in this case.
