Civil Suit Likely To Be Dropped In North Carolina
High Point businessman John Hutchens says a civil suit naming him and nine others including Republican leader Jim Gardner will be dropped. First Citizens Bank of Greensboro filed the suit over a $5,000 unpaid debt tied to a 1968 loan of $50,000, with repayments of $45,000.
