Husband allegedly killed wife for cheating — then murdered another man because he ‘knew he was going to jail': police
A jilted husband allegedly confessed to killing his wife while accusing her of cheating on him — then hunting down another man to murder because he 'knew he was going to jail,' according to a criminal complaint. Father of two Joshua Coleman, 30, confessed to shooting his 22-year-old wife, Mandy Coleman, in the head inside their home in Ridgeway, Virginia, during a fight last Tuesday, according to a criminal complaint obtained by WDBJ. He then hunted down 68-year-old William Morey because he 'knew he was going to jail' anyway, according to the complaint, which did not elaborate on why he wanted to kill Morey. Advertisement 3 Joshua Coleman allegedly shot his wife while accusing her of cheating on him, police said. Facebook / Josh Coleman Coleman initially could not locate Morey — until he went back to his own home, where he found the other man outside while heading to check up on Mandy, the report said. Coleman then shot him dead, too, according to the affidavit — with the dead man's bullet-ridden body in the street leading cops to the slain wife inside the house. Advertisement Coleman was quickly 'identified as the suspect in connection with the murders,' Henry County Sheriff's Office said — and 'deputies also became concerned for the welfare' of the Colemans' 'two small children.' 3 Coleman, pictured here, is also charged with killing another man, 68-year-old William Morey. 'An immediate, coordinated effort was launched to locate the children and the suspect,' the sheriff's office said. Coleman was finally busted during a trafic stop and 'found to be armed with a handgun and an AR-15 rifle,' deputies said. Advertisement 'The two children were found inside the vehicle, safe and unharmed. Coleman then confessed to shooting his wife in the head during an argument in which he accused her of cheating on him, the court docs said. It was unclear why he targeted Morey, whose relationship to the Colemans was not immediately clear. Coleman is charged with two counts of first-degree murder as well as child abuse. He is being held in the Henry County Adult Detention Center without bond. 3 The couple's two children were found safe in Joshua Coleman's car when he was arrested.

Lost 6-foot alligator shows up at Virginia motel, spooks cops in hilarious video
It's the great gator getaway! A 6-foot alligator was spotted casually strolling around a Virginia motel in the early morning hours Monday, shocking cops who responded to the runaway reptile in a hilarious video. The scaly beast was seen aimlessly wandering around the exterior of a motel in Fairfax County, just 20 miles outside of Washington, DC. 3 Virginia police escorted an alligator back to its owner after it escaped on a motel's grounds. Fairfax County Police Frantic vacationers called in the gator sighting after it turned up outside their motel room door. Fairfax County Police responded shortly after midnight and were blown away when they came face-to-face with the 6-foot reptile. 'Damn! That is an alligator! There is actually an alligator outside the hotel,' a cop said in disbelief. The officer's body camera captured the moment he stopped dead in his tracks after spotting the alligator before inching to the edge of the property. The cop lingered a few feet away and tried to estimate how big the creature was, figuring that if he 'lay down next to it,' the gator would be roughly 6 feet long. 3 The officer estimated that, if he lay down, the alligator would probably be 6 feet long. Fairfax County Police Other curious bystanders tried to take a peek as the officer eventually managed to lead the surprisingly cooperative reptile away from the motel. 'Uh, I would bring your dog inside – there's an alligator over here,' he said. 'I know, I want to see it,' the person insisted. 3 The alligator calmly went with the authorities. Fairfax County Police The out-of-place alligator had made a break from its owner while at a rest stop, according to cops. The owner was driving the scaly pet from New York to a zoo in North Carolina. Even after reuniting the gator with its owner, Virginia law required that the unusual duo be led out of the county. In Virginia, it's a misdemeanor for anyone who owns an exotic reptile 'to keep the reptile in any manner that will permit its escape or to knowingly permit the reptile to run at large,' according to Virginia Code. Fairfax County also bans any animals considered exotic, save for special circumstances, including elephant riding, according to the county website. The Old Dominion State has had a number of wild animal snafus recently. In March, the Virginia Zoological Park had to squash a rumor that one of its gorillas escaped after locals mistook their mascot for a real primate. Last year, a herd of escaped goats and sheep caused chaos after gallivanting across an interstate in Virginia.

WFXR partnering with Feeding Southwest Virginia, Goodwill Industries of the Valleys for ‘Hunger to Hope' food drive
ROANOKE, Va. (WFXR) — Food insecurity impacts people all across southwest Virginia and in Roanoke. The WFXR crew is teaming up with Feeding Southwest Virginia and Goodwill Industries of the Valleys to combat hunger in the community with the 'Hunger to Hope' food drive on Friday. 'It's real and it's here,' said David Dantzler with Feeding Southwest Virginia. 'It's probably on your street. Food drives like this bring both awareness, and they bring food. Obviously, the food nourishes our neighbors, and from there, they can lead healthier, happier lives.' According to Feeding America, food insecurity impacts nearly 15 percent of all people and 20 percent of children across southwest Virginia. That number rises to one-in-four children across Roanoke City, and the summer is a time when access to food can be the toughest it is all year. 'Food insecurity goes up in the summer,' said Dantzler. 'School's out, kids are home, they're not getting their meals at school, so we see our numbers increase and our numbers are already high.' Feeding Southwest celebrates partnership with key speakers There are eight drop off locations for donations all across the Roanoke Valley. List of drop-off locations: Market on Melrose – 2502 Melrose Ave NW A, Roanoke, VA 24017 Vinton Store – 907 Hardy Road, Vinton, VA Hunting Hills Store – 4335 Pheasant Ridge Road, Roanoke, VA Hollins Store – 6315 Archcrest Drive, Roanoke, VA Cave Spring Store – 3206 Electric Road, Roanoke, VA Salem Store – 1493 E. Main Street, Salem, VA West Salem Store – 1830 West Main Street, Salem, VA Daleville Store – 125 Commons Parkway, Daleville, VA From 9 a.m. until 7 p.m., the WFXR team will be at Market on Melrose, which ended a decades-long food desert in Northwest Roanoke when it opened on Melrose Avenue last fall. 'We want to eliminate poverty and part of that is meeting people's needs and no one should be hungry,' said Chelsea Moran with Goodwill Industries of the Valleys. 'That's really where this partnership will thrive.' Feeding Southwest Virginia is accepting monetary donations and any non-perishable food items, with a focus on high-protein foods.
