The suspect is currently at the Mecklenburg County Jail and being held on a $75,000 bond. Both the suspect and the victim were transported to the hospital for injuries.
Storage is no longer limited to closets and steel filing cabinets. Designers have teamed up to invent creative storage solutions that look great while remaining functional.
Storage ottomans, for example, come in all sorts of sizes, shapes, and colors. A large ottoman can replace the traditional cocktail table for you to kick up your feet
These are recent property transactions in Cornelius, Davidson and Huntersville recorded by the county Register of Deeds in Mecklenburg.
