A central North Carolina man is facing multiple charges after he drove into oncoming traffic and caused an intentional head-on crash in an attempt to kill his spouse, according to court documents. At least three people were injured in the crash, including his wife, reported television stations WRAL-TV and WNCN. The extent of their injuries was not immediately clear on June 4, but USA TODAY had reached out to officials for more information. The man, 33-year-old Andersen Singleton, is facing at least six charges for an incident that happened on May 31, according to court documents filed in Wake County District Court and obtained by USA TODAY.. His charges include one count of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, two counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to inflict serious injury, one count of reckless driving to endanger, one count of injury to personal property, and one count of driving left of a center lane, per online court records. Singleton has also been charged with assaulting, stalking, or threatening his spouse, per court records obtained by USA TODAY. Singleton is being held with no bond and has been ordered to stay 300 feet away from his spouse's home, school, or job as well. Singleton waived his right to court-appointed counsel on June 2, the North Carolina Judicial Branch confirmed to USA TODAY on June 4. He can hire his own attorney, but no one has made an appearance on his behalf as of June 4, the branch said The crash happened just before 6 a.m. on May 31, reported WNCN. In the redacted court documents, officials allege that on May 31, Singleton was driving a Toyota Camry with the victim also in the vehicle. According to authorities, Singleton assaulted the victim "with a motor vehicle by intentionally crashing into oncoming traffic, a deadly weapon, with the intent to kill him."

The footage shows the Toyota Camry crash head-on into an oncoming vehicle, which had two people inside. Bravo said after the impact, he went over to help and spoke to Singleton. "He was telling me how he was trying to kill himself and his wife because they were constantly fighting,' Bravo told WRAL-TV. He also said something else to Bravo, the witness told another outlet, WNCN. "We're definitely going to the psych ward," Bravo said, quoting Singleton. 'I thought that was a very interesting thing for him to just kind of blurt out. He's just … confessing all of this.'

Local TV interview of Bill Belichick comes with key condition: No Jordon Hudson questions
Bill Belichick doesn't want to talk about the person who notoriously told him not to talk about how they met. During the ACC Spring Meetings, Belichick agreed to do a sit-down interview with Brian Murphy of WRAL-TV in Raleigh. Before the interview plays, Murphy explains that North Carolina asked him 'to keep questions about football.' Murphy will get credit from some for disclosing that North Carolina told him not to ask about the Jordon Hudson dynamic. But Murphy had to add that disclaimer; otherwise, people would watch the six-minute interview and get to the end and wonder what the hell happened. Frankly, Murphy and WRAL should have refused to do the interview. Hey, UNC, you want free publicity for your football program? Don't attach stupid conditions on the questions that can and can't be asked. Bill Belichick is a big boy. Despite his accomplishments, he's not above being asked the most obvious question anyone would ask him. He chose to involve Hudson in his professional life. Even though he tried to claim during an ESPN interview on Wednesday that it's simply a 'personal relationship,' it wasn't and it isn't. He allowed that to happen. Belichick does himself no favors by running from the questions that naturally flow from this most unusual set of circumstances. UNC, which reportedly has hired former Bears P.R. executive Brandon Faber, does Belichick no favors by attempting to shield 'the greatest coach of all time' from fair questions about the extent to which she was involved in the football operation — and how that came to an end. There's still an unresolved issue over Pablo Torre's report that Hudson had been banned from the football facility and UNC's carefully-worded statement that, at the most superficial level, refutes the reporting. Something went down in the aftermath of the disastrous CBS interview. Why should Belichick be shielded from answering questions about the apparent push-and-pull that resulted in Hudson being very involved with UNC football to not being involved at all. Remember, UNC is a public institution. It receives public money. The idea that UNC would limit public access to relevant information has a much different feel than it would if it were a truly private business. Above all else, the situation proves (conclusively, in our view) that Belichick is bothered by all of this. That he allowed himself to get over his skis. That he flew close to the sun on wings of on to Cincinnati. Belichick created a personal situation that became a professional situation that morphed into one of the biggest stories in all of sports. Even if he didn't plan it for publicity purposes (and he surely didn't), it happened. Conditioning interviews on the interviewer not even checking the box with a question that allows him to recite his talking point makes him look lame. It makes him look small. It makes him look weak. Which is the worst look any football coach can have. It all continues in two days, when Belichick appears on Good Morning America. Does ABC really need to have EXCLUSIVE! access to Belichick if exclusivity entails the exclusion of the most interesting subject? If Belichick or UNC attempt to attach any conditions to that interview, GMA should cancel it. The ratings for Friday's show will be the same either way.
