HURDLE MILLS, N.C. — A North Carolina family is celebrating the safe return of their emu, Doug, who escaped from his home early Monday.

According to the owner's Facebook page, the emu made a run for it after snapping the electrical wire on their fence. Since then, there were multiple sightings of Doug speeding around the Hurdle Mills area toward Roxboro.

The owners enlisted the help of Person County Animal Services (PCAS) to safely capture and return Doug the emu to his home.

They also put the word out on social media, making Doug somewhat of a local celebrity. According to PCAS, "Doug the emu has apparently become famous overnight."

The owners describe Doug the emu as "very friendly and curious." Hopefully, Doug was able to explore his curiosity while he was zooming around Person County.

Update: “911 calls released in NC road-rage shooting that injured child. What we know so far.”

Sheriff’s deputies charged a 41-year-old man with assault after home-security video recorded part of a road-rage incident in Orange County that injured a 4-year-old child.

Kelly Brandon Long, of Hurdle Mills, was charged early Tuesday morning with four counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, the Orange County Sheriff’s Office reported.

Long is accused of firing a weapon several times at a car during an incident in Hillsborough and the surrounding Orange County area.

One of the bullets grazed a 4-year-old boy in a child’s safety seat in the back of his father’s sedan, a news release stated.

Authorities say the bullet caused “a slight burn wound” to the boy’s back, which was treated at the scene.

Deputies responded to a gas station on U.S. 70 where a man reported “a series of road rage incidents” with an SUV driver he said had started on N.C. 86, north of Hillsborough, as he and the SUV driver were heading south, according to the release.

A deputy found shell casings on Miller Road and a resident whose security system had recorded the vehicles as they passed by, according to the release.

“Once Mr. Long’s vehicle stopped following the victim’s car, the toddler’s father pulled into the Shell/Quality Mart on Highway 70,” the release stated.

“Although the driver initially reported no injuries to anyone in his vehicle, deputies located one projectile lodged in the back of the toddler’s safety seat and a corresponding minor injury to the child’s back,” the release continued. “They also located damage to several other places on the vehicle consistent with being stuck by gunfire.”

The release did not say what led to the reported road-rage incidents or how many people were in each vehicle.

Long was placed in the Orange County jail on $50,000 secured bail, with a first court appearance set for Tuesday afternoon.

“Reckless and aggressive driving is dangerous for drivers, passengers, and the general public,” Sheriff Charles Blackwood said in the release. “As motorists, we never know if other drivers have weapons, nor do we know they are able to control themselves when angry. Do not engage. Drive to a safe, well-lit area and call for help.”

A woman steps up to the cluttered counter at Farm & Garden in Cedar Grove wearing pajamas. She’s quick to clarify she wouldn’t go to the grocery dressed that way. “Just the Farm & Garden.”

But the gray store with wood siding on N.C. Highway 86 is something of a grocery, and a pretty good one. Though it operates two fuel pumps and sells what has become many gas stations’ standard farebagged chips, cheap beer and neon-colored Slush Puppiesit also stocks its coolers with lamb and bison from nearby farms. There’s local milk, mini pies made by neighbor Mary Justesen, and an extensive selection of regional beers.

The Farm & Garden is one of many filling stations to offer food that’s a step above tired, twirling hot dogs or packaged Pop-Tarts. It is also one of the easiest spots to find: A row of squat white signs spells the store’s bounty along both sides of the two-lane road leading there. More often, billboards reveal fuel brands and prices over specialty fare; it’s BP, not biscuits.

So good food becomes the fortune of lucky travelers who pull into the right shop, where they are told something about a town’s foodways through slices of plastic-wrapped cakes at the edge of a checkout counter, or tortillas, patted by hand and seared into golden rounds at the grill in the back. Locals know such spots but often can’t pinpoint them.

Addresses become “the convenient mart on Roxboro Road” or “the place on Capital Boulevard.” When Kate Medley and I drove the latter in search of lunch, the thoroughfare seemed to have a gas station at every intersection.

We stopped at one of the stores and hoped for directions. It’s not a map that we wanted, however, but a taco. After a few wrong turns, we found that and a whole lot more.
