Norfolk judge grants bond to Harris Teeter guard accused of assault
NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) — A Norfolk General District Court judge granted bond to the Harris Teeter security guard accused of beating a man inside the store. Kharel Jones-White is facing one charge of malicious wounding related to the incident. He was working as an armed, uniformed security guard on the evening of June 2. Several family members and Harris Teeter employees as well as a man who said he was White-Jones' boss at the security company were in court to testify and show support. NPD: Man seriously injured after assault at W Ocean View Ave. Harris Teeter A witness in the case testified that White-Jones and the victim entered the store at the same time that night. A short time later, the witness said, White-Jones approached him and told him there was an issue with the man. 'The victim kept going at [White-Jones],' the store employee told the court, describing antagonizing behavior. Then, a physical altercation broke out between the two men. The witness told the court that White-Jones had the man in a headlock. Then, the man attempted to grab White-Jones' holstered handgun. White-Jones then stepped away to hand the gun to an employee, according to the witness. At some point, the victim began attempting to hit or stab White-Jones with a gold object, according to the witness and the defense attorney. The witness said the victim was trying to strike back during the entire incident. The commonwealth's attorney on the case opposed the bond motion, arguing that White-Jones had exercised excessive force, breaking the victim's eye socket and spilling 'a substantial amount of blood.' The prosecutor said that video, which was not show in court, captured the incident and showed White-Jones using OC spray before straddling the victim and punching him in the eye. 'This looks like that scene from 'No Country for Old Men,'' the judge remarked, when shown images from the security video. White-Jones' attorney said that he followed DCJS (Department of Criminal Justice Services) protocol. The judge ultimately released White-Jones on a $7,500 personal recognizance bond. He's prohibited from contacting the victim. A preliminary hearing date was set for August 6. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

How many inmates are still on the run from New Orleans jail? What are their charges?
The massive manhunt for 10 inmates who broke out of a New Orleans jail stretched into its 12th day May 28 as two remaining escapees continued to evade authorities. The inmates fled the Orleans Parish jail on May 16. Authorities said the group pulled open defective cell doors, ripped out a toilet to create a hole in the jail and then climbed a wall to escape. Orleans Parish District Attorney Jason Williams told USA TODAY the escape appeared to be an "inside job." At least 13 people have been arrested for allegedly aiding the inmates. Authorities are offering awards of up to $20,000 per inmate for information leading to their arrests. Louisiana State Police have pledged to "pursue every lead" until the inmates who remain at-large are once again in custody. Here's what to know about the inmates who are being sought: Two of the 10 inmates who escaped from the jail are still at-large. Kendell Myles, Robert Moody and Dkenan Dennis were taken back in custody within hours of their escape. Days later, Gary Price and Corey Boyd were nabbed in New Orleans, according to Louisiana State Police.
