AFTER WHAT THEY’RE CALLING A SUSPECTED SHOOTING. AND ACCORDING TO AN INCIDENT REPORT FILED BY THE FORSYTH COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE, A MAN WAS SHOT FOLLOWING AN ARGUMENT AROUND MIDNIGHT LAST NIGHT ON STADIUM DRIVE, WHERE THAT BAR IS LOCATED. NOW, WE DID REACH OUT TO THE FORSYTH COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE TO ASK IF THAT SHOOTING HAPPENED INSIDE OR OUTSIDE THE BAR, BUT THEY HAVEN’T SHARED ANY INFORMATION ABOUT THE CASE. OUR CREWS SAW DEPUTIES LOOKING INSIDE OF A TRUCK ON THE PROPERTY OF SHERIF’S. THIS MORNING. ALI CONFIRMS THEY ARE LOOKING INTO WHETHER THE BAR FOLLOWED A-B-C LAWS AND REGULATIONS DURING AND FOLLOWING THE REPORTED SHOOTING. THE BAR POSTED ON ITS FACEBOOK PAGE THAT IT WOULD BE CLOSED TODAY AND TOMORROW DUE TO QUOTE, UNFORESEEN CIRc*msTANCES. AND WE SAW CUSTOMERS STOPPING BY THE BAR TONIGHT, BUT THEY WERE TURNED AWAY. HOLIDAY THOMPSON OWNS A BUSINESS NEARBY, CHERI BEASLEY. HE SAYS HE DID NOT EXPECT TO HEAR OF A SHOOTING AT THAT LOCATION. IT SHOCKS ME THAT IT HAPPENED HERE IN CLEMMONS, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? MAYBE IF IT WAS LIKE DOWNTOWN OR SOMETHING, I WOULDN’T BE SO SHOCKED. BUT IT IS A LITTLE WILD THAT IT WOULD HAPPEN AROUND HERE. AND WE ALSO REACHED OUT TO THE FORSYTH COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE ASKING ABOUT THE VICTIM’S CONDITION AND IF ANYONE WAS ARRESTED. BUT AGAIN, WE ARE STILL WAITING TO HEAR BACK REGARDING THOSE ANSWERS. ANY OTHER DETAILS THAT WE DO HAVE REGARDING THIS INVESTIGATION? WE WILL BE SURE TO PASS ALONG. FOR NOW, WE’RE LIVE TONIGHT IN DOWNTOWN WINSTON-SALEM. I’M KARA PETERS FOR WXII 12 NEWS. NEW TONIGHT A MAN IS NOW BEING CHARGED FOR A HIT AND RUN CRASH. THAT KILLED A TEENAGE GIRL IN ALAMANCE COUNTY. THE STATE HIGHWAY PATROL SAYS 38 YEAR OLD JOSHUA BROWN FROM LIBERTY IS CHARGED WITH FELONY HIT AND RUN. HE’S ACCUSED OF HITTING 17 YEAR OLD DANIELLA MENDIOLA TWO WEEKS AGO ON OAK GROVE CHURCH ROAD.

BURLINGTON POLICE SAY GWENDOLYN SMITH ROBINSON WAS REPORTED MISSING TODAY, BUT SHE WAS LAST SEEN ON MONDAY ON CHANDLER AVENUE. SHE IS 17 YEARS OLD. SHE IS ALSO PREGNANT. IF YOU SEE HER, CALL POLICE. IN 12 INVESTIGATES A FORMER POLICE CHIEF IS NOW IN TROUBLE WITH THE LAW FOR MONTHS. 12 INVESTIGATES HAS BEEN LOOKING INTO ALLEGATIONS OF FRAUD INVOLVING THE PILOT MOUNTAIN POLICE DEPARTMENT. FORMER CHIEF ROBERT JACKSON TURNED HIMSELF IN TO AUTHORITIES LATE LAST MONTH AND LATER BONDED OUT. AN INDICTMENT INDICATES THAT HE FACES EIGHT OFFENSES. OUR JOSHUA DAVIS SPOKE WITH A WOMAN WHO SAYS HER NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION WAS A VICTIM. THE DOCUMENTS FROM THE SURRY COUNTY COURTHOUSE JACKSON IS ACCUSED OF REPEATEDLY DEFRAUDING PILOT MOUNTAIN UNITE. BEGINNING IN JULY OF 2021 THROUGH MAY OF 2023. KIMBERLY QUINN IS THE PRESIDENT OF PILOT MOUNTAIN UNITE AND WORKED WITH SOME OF THOSE OFFICERS FOR YEARS. THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, THE CHIEF, WOULD COORDINATE WITH US. HOW MANY OFFICERS WERE REQUIRED? WHICH OFFICERS IT WOULD BE, AND THEY WOULD GIVE US A LIST OF OFFICERS, THEIR NAMES AND THE PAY RATE. THE INDICTMENT REVEALS THAT MANY OF THOSE OFFICERS DIDN’T WORK THOSE EVENTS, BUT WERE PAID AS IF THEY DID. KIMBERLY SAYS THE SBI REACHED OUT TO HER SHORTLY AFTER HER ORGANIZATION BEEFED UP THEIR TAX AND ACCOUNTING POLICY. WHEN HIRING OFFICERS IN THE FALL OF LAST YEAR OR LATE SUMMER. PROBABLY THE SBI CONTACTED ME AND SAID THAT THEY HAD HAD AN ANONYMOUS TIP THAT THERE HAD BEEN SOME, MAYBE DOUBLE DIPPING FROM THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND FRAUD IN TERMS OF THE PAYMENTS WE WERE MAKING TO THEM. ACCORDING TO THE INDICTMENT, JACKSON WOULD TAKE MONEY AND SPLIT IT WITH OTHER OFFICERS. KIMBERLY SAYS THE TOWN’S TRUST IN THE DEPARTMENT IS SHAKEN, AND IT WILL TAKE TIME TO BUILD IT BACK UP. IT IS HARD WHEN THEY’RE THEY’RE YOUR NEIGHBORS. THEY’RE THE SRO OFFICER AT THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL WHERE YOUR KIDS WENT. THEY’RE PATRONS OF MY BUSINESS. FOR THE COFFEE SHOP. THEY’RE FRIENDS. SO I THINK IT’S HARD FOR THE COMMUNITY. IT’S HARD FOR ME. THAT WAS JOSHUA DAVIS REPORTING. WE’VE REACHED OUT TO THE STATE BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH MONEY WAS ALLEGEDLY DEFRAUDED IN THIS ONE CASE, AND WE HAVE YET TO HEAR BACK. JACKSON IS BACK IN COURT LATER THIS MONTH. THE TOWN OF PILOT MOUNTAIN RELEASED A STATEMENT ABOUT THIS CASE TODAY. IT SAYS IN PART, QUOTE, THE PILOT MOUNTAIN POLICE DEPARTMENT IS FOCUSED ON REBUILDING TRUST WI
