Mayor Creel Recovers From Bike Crash After Alcohol Claim Dispute
Randall Creel, 54, Dover mayor, remained paralyzed at Pitt County Memorial Hospital for three months after a bike crash. Admitting records cited a pint of alcohol, a detail he contests as a doctor’s misentry during pain and distress. His wife and daughter testified he did not appear intoxicated the night of the accident. The workers compensation case, mediation by the camp board, and questions about blood alcohol level 0.117 framed the hearing, with Creel recounting severe spinal pain and long recovery ahead.
