Deadly crash leaves Garland County deputy hospitalized
HOT SPRINGS, Ark. – A deadly crash Sunday left a Garland County Sheriff's Office deputy hospitalized and another man dead. Conditions were foggy before sunrise around 4:40 a.m. According to an Arkansas State Police crash report, 22-year-old Lane Murphy of Plumerville was heading north when he crossed the center line and struck 22-year-old Deputy Gavan Mason's patrol vehicle. Garland County deputy injured in fatal Sunday morning crash Mason's vehicle overturned after a collision, but Murphy went off the road and died at the scene. GCSO Public Information Officer Captain Joel Ware said Mason was rushed to CHI St. Vincent Hospital with internal injuries and a broken arm, which required surgery. 'Those affected by it, our hearts go out to him,' Ware said. 'For the damage to be as severe as it was pretty scary. Very fortunate that Deputy Mason is still here with us.' It is estimated that it will take 12 weeks before Deputy Mason can return to work. He was already on track to be moved out of the patrol car and into an investigator position. GCSO Chief Deputy Steven Elrod said Mason has that 'X factor.' 'He is a team player. He has great camaraderie. He is versatile in so many different areas. Wherever you need him, he's able to respond,' Elrod stated. Arkansas State Police trooper injured in Easter Sunday crash in Garland County Although Mason can't respond right now, the community and coworkers have to help the 22-year-old deputy with his medical and financial needs. Elrod said in the last year, the new stretch of Highway 5 where the crash happened has had 17 accidents. Garland County is collecting data to ask the Arkansas Department of Transportation what can be done to make the area safer. 'Deputy Mason certainly wasn't the first person to be injured out in that stretch. We want him to be the last if we can,' Elrod said.

Maryland community shocked after police shoot, kill man with double-edged spear
Residents in a quiet Howard County community are still in shock over a police shooting that killed a 23-year-old man who reportedly stabbed his brother with a double-edged spear on Monday. Police shot the man along Oakland Mills Road in Columbia after he allegedly disobeyed orders and approached an officer with the spear, which was recovered at the scene. Meanwhile, the Maryland Office of the Attorney General's Independent Investigations Division (IID) is piecing together what instigated the stabbing and the shooting. The IID is the primary investigator for police shootings in the state. Police said the 26-year-old brother was stabbed multiple times in a home on Wilbur Court before calling 911 dispatchers. He was taken to the hospital in critical condition. A quiet neighborhood Residents say Wilbur Court in the Guilford Square neighborhood is a quiet community. They said it was shocking when the community was filled with police on Monday night. Resident Paul Pardoe said he has seen social services and police visit the home several times where the brothers live. However, he said there was nothing to suggest one would be a stabbing victim and the other shot by officers. "Those people have really been no problem to the neighborhood, not noisy or any of that kind of stuff," Pardoe said. "Stuff happens, you know." Police say the 26-year-old called 911 around 7:24 p.m. Monday, saying his younger brother stabbed him at their home in the 9200 block of Wilbur Court. The 23-year-old called 911 himself minutes later, admitting to the stabbing. Officers found him nearby in the intersection of Oakland Mills Road and Carters Lane, armed with a double-edged spear. Police say the suspect approached one of the officers, who then drew his gun and ordered the suspect to drop the spear. The officer fired when the suspect didn't comply. Family violence shocks neighbors Several neighbors told WJZ their hearts go out to the suspect and the victim's family. Lena Carter, who lives near Wilbur Court, said she was very surprised to hear the suspect and victim are brothers. "Brother to attack brother is just unheard of," Carter said. "I've had brothers of my own, I can't imagine that." Pardoe said the domestic dispute of his neighbors hit home, especially because he's recently lost family. His wife died three months ago. "It's tough watching this stuff and families having problems like that," Pardoe said. "I can't imagine what the family's going through. Obviously, they were going through stuff before this, now look at it. What a mess."

Kidnapping or fight? 911 call sparks high-speed chase in Issaquah
The Issaquah Police Department says a possible kidnapping spurred a high-speed chase over the weekend. On Saturday, officers were called to Southeast Clark Street after someone saw the driver of a silver Dodge Charger grab a child and pull them into their car. The caller told 911 that the child was screaming, 'help me,' and 'I don't want to go with you.' The 911 caller got the license plate, and officers rushed to the area to see what was going on. A recent police academy graduate and her Field Training Officer spotted the car turning from Newport Way Northwest uphill onto Mountain Park Boulevard Southwest and started chasing it. Other officers set up spike strips to try and stop the speeding car, but the department says the driver dodged them. Officers eventually stopped chasing the car because they worried that it posed a safety risk to others in the area. 'At this point, the reasonable suspicion officers had initially has not developed into probable cause of a crime. This may have been as simple as a dispute — we just don't know yet,' the department said online. Anyone with additional information is asked to contact the Issaquah Police Department at (425) 837-3200.
