Second Broad Street store robbed
A man robbed a convenience store on Broad Street on Wednesday night, just one block from where a man with the same description robbed another store on Tuesday, police said.
The robber entered the Fairway One Stop in the 200 block of South Broad Street just before 8 p.m. Wednesday, police said. He pointed a gun at the clerk and demanded money and cigarettes, then ran away toward Cotton Street.
The robber was described as a black male, about 6 feet 2 inches tall, 180 to 200 pounds, wearing a black vinyl jacket with two stripes on the sleeve, black pants, Timberland boots, a blue faceless toboggan and a black knit-style hat with a visor.
It's a nearly identical description as the one given after the robbery of the In ‘n Out Mart in the 100 block of South Broad Street Tuesday night. In that robbery, the man also demanded money and cigarettes.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 727-2800.

WAYNESVILLE -- A Georgia woman arrested in the deaths of two men in North Carolina has been found hanged in her jail cell.

McCutcheon was one of six people charged in the death of two men in Swain County last year.

Mother may face death penalty
SPRING LAKE -- Prosecutors plan to seek the death penalty against a woman accused of killing her 11-month-old daughter and hiding the body in an attic.
Johni Michelle Heuser, 27, of Lillington will face the death penalty if she is convicted in the 2007 death of Harmony Jade Creech.
The child's father, Army Sgt. Ronald Earl Creech II, returned from Iraq in October 2007 to find his daughter missing. Police said that Heuser told him the baby had been abducted.
Authorities said that Harmony died three to five weeks before her body was found in a diaper box in the attic of the couple's home. Medical examiners were unable to determine the cause of death, but prosecutors said they have evidence that the child starved to death.
