RED SPRINGS — A 39-year-old man has been charged with murder in the shooting death of another man that he apparently had a feud with, according to Maj. Anthony Thompson of the Robeson County Sheriff’s Office.

Maurice Ashford, of 141 Ashford Road, Red Springs, is charged with first-degree murder after police found 40-year-old Alex Dewayne Jones, of 105 Bryant Circle, dead at about 4 p.m. Saturday in the parking lot of Thunder Valley Oasis Store located at 3460 Old Lowery Road, Red Springs.

According to Thompson, Ashford, who was in a vehicle, drove up to Jones and the two exchanged words before Jones was shot in the chest. Thompson said the two men had an “ongoing dispute.”

Ashford is being held at the Robeson County jail with no bond and was scheduled to make his first court appearance today. His criminal record includes communicating threats, assault on a female, and domestic violence.

Happy 236th
Thousands of people were dazzled by the fireworks display at the annual Lumberton Family Fourth celebration at the Lumberton High School football stadium on Tuesday. Many watched the display from parking lots and sidewalks around town and from their own front yards. Before the show, attendees were treated to a performance by the Carolina Breakers, and a stunt by the Army Rangers, who parachuted onto the football field.

It's beginning to sound like we have some commissioners posting! That's ok, they can post away. I don't expect little league teams to come to me or to any one other person for any money. I expect IF the discretionary funds were added back into the budget OR combined for community uses that we either voted on or applied for, that the money would be used more wisely and it would all be more transparent. Anonymous below said it well: "While there is more transparency with the voting, the funds can still be used to buy votes, and that's a problem." It's still a huge problem and those that think the commissioners did something great, just bought what they are selling.
