Univ. of Charleston student helps rescue hundreds of cats

CHARLESTON, WV -- Before last year, Amanda Whitman would not have exactly described herself as a cat person. The 21-year-old had outdoor cats and a family dog growing up in Logan County. But her life changed in February 2015 when she saw on Facebook a post from a local rescue group about eight cats that needed homes.

“I woke up and I just said, ‘I’m gonna go save those cats today,’” Whitman said. “Random, I know. And I did.”

Whitman messaged two rescue groups in Charleston and Huntington, which were able to take the cats.

“I was just lucky I guess that day — lucky or blessed,” Whitman said. “They split the cats up — one took four and the other took four and that’s how it happened.”

Massachusetts men facing marijuana trafficking charge had $420 in cash

AUGUSTA, Maine — Two men were arrested Wednesday afternoon after a state trooper witnessed what appeared to be a drug deal in the parking lot of a restaurant, according to Augusta police.

Off-duty trooper Andrew Hardy contacted Augusta police around 5:30 p.m. when he noticed a suspicious vehicle in the Red Robin parking lot, according to Augusta Deputy Chief Jared Mills.

When Officer Laura Drouin arrived in the area, the vehicle containing Rory Kavanaugh, 20, of Georgetown, Massachusetts, and Nicholas Caponigro, 24, of Amesbury, Massachusetts, had moved to the Wal-Mart parking lot, Mills said.

A search of the vehicle turned up 2.17 pounds of marijuana and $420 in cash, Mills said. A state police dog unit aided with the search of the car.
