Man sentenced to 12 years in prison for disturbing crystal meth in Goldsboro
GOLDSBORO, N.C. (WNCT) — According to the North Carolina Department of Justice, Jesus Anibal Gutierrez had been sentenced to twelve and a half years in federal prison after pleading guilty to distributing crystal methamphetamine in Goldsboro.
According to the court documents and other information presented in court, the investigation began in July 2023, when law enforcement learned that a Mexico-based drug trafficker had arranged to send significant quantities of narcotics to the Eastern District of North Carolina.\
With the assistance of a confidential informant, law enforcement located the courier's car and conducted a traffic stop. A K-9 alerted to the presence of narcotics inside the car, and law enforcement seized approximately 20.74 kilograms of crystal methamphetamine, as well as three cellular telephones.
Gutierrez was a passenger in the car and admitted to law enforcement that he coordinated the shipment of narcotics and was traveling to the Goldsboro area to deliver them. The driver, Rosendo Salazar, pled guilty to possession with the intent to distribute methamphetamine on March 10, 2025.

Documents detail hit-and-run crash that killed Las Vegas man
LAS VEGAS (KLAS) – An arrest report obtained by 8 News Now details what led up to a hit-and-run crash that killed a 33-year-old man in the northwest valley. Officers took 63-year-old Karen Cannon into custody Wednesday in connection with the case. She was released on a $150,000 bail a day later. Loved ones remember man killed in west Las Vegas valley hit-and-run crash 33-year-old Patrick Deloriea died on May 13 when a Tesla hit him and left the scene at the intersection of Vegas Drive and Rainbow Boulevard, according to police. 'He's going to be missed you know?' Deloriea's friend Robert Drysdale told 8 News Now after he died. 'I think everyone is pretty upset over this loss.' Police determined a Tesla Model Y registered to Cannon hit Deloriea going 66 miles per hour, causing him to fly approximately 155 feet into the air. Surveillance footage from a nearby gas station and debris at the scene helped detectives determine the car involved, according to documents. Cannon reportedly took the car to two different repair shops and paid cash, refusing to file an insurance claim, according to police. Documents said she claimed she hit an animal and something resembling a coyote, and claimed she didn't see anything in the road after the collision, though she felt a 'hard blow' to her car and felt it shake upon impact. A week after the crash, Cannon called her insurance company and said she did not know what she hit and wasn't sure what to do and things weren't 'as simple as she thought,' according to the arrest report. Once officers seized the car they weren't able to find any videos from 2025 saved in its software and a camera was removed from its front fender. Cannon now faces one count of reckless driving resulting in death, failure to stop at the scene of a crash, and destroying and concealing evidence. She was released with electronic monitoring and an order not to drive a vehicle. Cannon is due back in court on Tuesday. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Long Grove bridge hit by moving truck, allegedly for the 67th time
LONG GROVE, Ill. (WGN) — Water is wet. The sky is blue. Someone hit the Long Grove Covered Bridge again. A WGN TV News viewer sent a small treasure trove of photos detailing the latest vehicle that was too tall to pass over Buffalo Creek. The viewer told WGN TV News this is allegedly the 67th time the bridge has been struck by a vehicle. Built 1906, it was initially named after Buffalo Creek, and didn't feature a wooden roof over the top of it. The wooden cover was added in 1972. The bridge, which measures 8-feet-6-inches tall, was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in June 2018, and was promptly plowed through two weeks later. Cover Story: The infamous Long Grove Covered Bridge It was restored, but 23 hours after the official reopening in August 2020, another driver in a chartered school bus not only hit it, but got stuck. The good news is, it wasn't completely obliterated like it was in 2018. With how frequent the bridge has been struck over the years, one would think there's a lack of signage around the well-battered crossing, but that's not the case. Signs are posted on, before and after crossing the bridge on Robert Parker Coffin Road, and they have done little to stop vehicles from leaving various dings and dents over the years, fines for which start at $700.
