It's been eight years since beloved former child star and Oscar-winning actress Patty Duke died from sepsis (a ruptured intestine) at only 69 in 2016. She was also the recipient of two Golden Globes, three Emmys, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In the 1960s, she was the star of her own TV sitcom. In the mid-1980s, she served as President of the Screen Actors Guild. Through it all, she was married four times (including once to actor John Austin), had three sons, and never stopped acting. This is her tragic yet triumphant story.

A man out on probation for drug charges less than a year ago and a woman from Douglas were recently arrested following a search at a local apartment. On August 7, 2024, at around 1:00 PM, Detectives from the Coffee County Sheriff's Office Drug Unit were conducting a proactive narcotics patrol in Douglas. During their patrol, a detective spotted 30-year-old Christopher Lamar Hawkins, who had outstanding warrants for fleeing police and methamphetamine possession, driving a white 2021 Kia Sorento. Hawkins was stopped in front of apartment 203/204 on N Wheeler Ave, where two detectives approached him. Breanna Henderson, 33, then came out of apartment 203 to "investigate what was going on with Hawkins" and appeared to whisper with Hawkins during his arrest. The report states that Henderson, who temporarily lived with Hawkins, began whispering with him "presumably about nefarious activities due to Hawkins's previous history with drug distribution and evading law enforcement."
