Here are the top stories in Mooresville today:

1. On Monday, June 12, both 35-year-old Jerome Leray Allison and 55-year-old Douglas were arrested by the Mooresville Police Department in relation to a drug investigation. According to WCNC.com, "Jerome Allison was placed in the Iredell County Detention Center under an $855,000 secured bond. He has been charged with five felonies and two misdemeanors. The felony charges include trafficking of opiates and methamphetamine and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Douglas Allison has also been charged with five felonies and one misdemeanor. He has been placed under a $780,000 secured bond in the Iredell County Detention Center." (WCNC.com)
2. Tess Stang is Mooresville's first Eagle Scout. She was one of the original Troop 1166 Scouts and has risen through the ranks. According to the Mooresville Tribune, "The requirements for the Eagle rank includes learning how to survive in the outdoors, cooking in the outdoors and lots of first aid skills. Only about 6 percent of all Scouts BSA members earn Eagle." Congratulations, Tess! (Mooresville Tribune)
3. Mooresville High School seniors graduated debt free thanks to a generous donation of $27,359 from the Williamson’s Chapel United Methodist Church. The donation, a collection during the season of Lent, went to cover any unpaid charges that a graduating senior of the class of 2023 accumulated during their years at Mooresville Graded School District. According to the Mooresville Tribune, "Because the amount was more than the amount of senior debt, the excess was applied to unpaid lunch charges of the junior class." (Mooresville Tribune)
