Florida weighs limited bear hunting as population rises
Florida wildlife officials weigh a limited bear hunting season as the black bear population rebounds from about 300 to 500 in 1974 to more than 3,000 today. Officials note more human encounters, attacks, and vehicle deaths, while public input split between hunters and animal rights advocates.

Burglary arrests after Loudon Drive home intrusion
Two people Kenneth Blackmon Jr and Jaime Cagle were charged with third degree burglary after security cameras showed them inside a home on Loudon Drive. They were detained at the Aiken County detention center as officers confirmed their presence and found construction materials in a vehicle linked to the crime. A separate incident on Verandas on the Green left a 20 year old woman with about 30 dollars after a knife point robbery. A North Augusta woman was defrauded 4000 dollars via a Craigslist job scam involving fraudulent checks and wiring funds.

Ruling halts Summer's publication ban pending Supreme Court review
Early signed a restraining order Friday after publication and a subpoena forced Summer to attend a hearing. Jay Bender, her attorney, said the stay on the restraining order awaits the state Supreme Court ruling on two Summer requests to bar Early from commenting and to eliminate the prior order. The case centers on South Carolina shield law and Brown estate disputes, with Summer noting the public interest and ongoing charity matters tied to Brown's will. The Newberry Observer has supported her reporting, and the Aiken Standard contributed to this coverage.
