19th annual ride of silence held in Greensboro
GREENSBORO, N.C. (WGHP) — Dozens of cyclists rolled through the streets of Greensboro on Wednesday during the annual Greensboro Ride of Silence. This worldwide event is a movement to unite bicyclists and also honor those who have been injured or killed. One of the bikers who hit the streets Wednesday night in LeBauer Park was Elizabeth Perrill. She said she decided to ride to honor her mother, Roxy Fudge, who was killed in an accident in Tucson in 2022. 'She died three years ago next week when she was struck by a motorist while cycling,' Perrill said. Perrill said her mother will be on her mind while she's biking around downtown Greensboro. 'My mother suffered for two months after she was struck by a motorist. I'm going to be remembering my mother. I'm going to be remembering the founder of the bicycling club here in Greensboro, who also died due to a cycling accident,' Perrill said. While the event is to honor lives that were lost, it is also to raise awareness and protect cyclists now. 'There needs to be better laws protecting cyclists. Protecting cyclists in crosswalks is actually not a part of North Carolina law. We're here to honor everyone who died, and we're here to come together as a community and get lawmakers to defend the rights of everybody, including cyclists,' Perrill said.

SafeSport Center to Grassley: ‘Should have been additional scrutiny' on ex-cop's hiring
The top lawyer for the U.S. Center for SafeSport wrote to Sen. Chuck Grassley that 'there should have been additional scrutiny' when the center learned a vice cop it was considering hiring as an investigator had been subject to an internal investigation at his last job. The center ended up hiring Jason Krasley, who was later charged with rape and other felonies from episodes that happened when he worked as an officer in Allentown, Pennsylvania. About 2 1/2 years after bringing him on, the center fired Krasley when it learned of his arrest for allegedly stealing money seized in a drug sting he participated in while with the force. The Krasley affair led to the center's CEO, Ju'Riese Colon, losing her job two weeks ago. It was general connsel Jessica Perrill who responded last week to a letter originally directed to Colon from Grassley, R-Iowa. Among Grassley's questions were why the center hired the former cop knowing he was subject of an internal investigation. 'There should have been additional scrutiny into the concerning statements by the reference, which would prompt additional scrutiny today,' Perrill wrote. 'Unfortunately, we have been unable to find any evidence of further inquiry by the Center into the internal investigation.' Perrill referenced a letter sent March 14 by Colon to Grassley that outlined stronger hiring policies the center has implemented in the wake of Krasley's arrest. They include enhanced reference checks and access to the National Decertification Index, which keeps track of officers who have been sanctioned because of misconduct. Perrill wrote that the center learned on Sept. 4, 2024, of the 2019 theft allegations against Krasley and others involving harrasment from a separate arrest in June 2024. But, she said, the agency took no action because 'law enforcement' asked the center to not do anything to tip off Krasley about a criminal investigation. In the two months between learning about the allegations and firing Krasley, Perrill said the center 'closely monitored Krasley's work.' 'Nothing of concern was observed during this period,' Perrill wrote. ___ AP sports:
