3. Thirty-eight-year-old Angela Zona is being accused of kidnapping and stabbing a family member at a Surfside Beach RV park Friday night. According to WMBF, "According to the report, the victim told police that Zona held him against his will inside his RV. He also said he tried several times to get out of his RV, but the sliding door had been locked and Zona attacked him with a broken hanger, resulting in the puncture wound to his face. The victim also had scratch marks on his torso and arm from the weapon, the report states. Zona was arrested and charged with assault and battery and kidnapping and taken to JR Long Detention Center." She has reportedly been released on a $15,000 bond. (WMBF)
4. Kevin Dyson, 27, of Chadbourn, North Carolina, was reportedly having drinks at the restaurant on Kings Highway late Friday night when he began to "have words" with an employee. According to WNBF, "The employee told Horry County police Dyson said he was going to get his gun out of his truck and returned with what looked like a long black pipe, later identified as a shotgun, and pointed it at the employee. According to the report, Dyson left the restaurant; however, the employee was able to tell police the type of vehicle Dyson was driving and in what direction. Horry County PD pulled Dyson over in North Myrtle Beach and called him out of his vehicle. During the traffic stop, a black shotgun was found inside the truck. The report states there were other firearms inside the truck as well and due to Dyson’s criminal history, he was prohibited from possessing any firearms. He was booked into the J Rueben Long Detention Center and later released on a $1,000 bond." (WMBF)
