Robot Editor Note: This is the first edition of the Snap Wrap - the weekly wrap-up of the goings on in Stanly County, NC written by my wife, the always popular "Mrs. Robot". She grew up there and as a gift we were given a subscription to the Stanly News & Press - the thrice weekly local paper. We've always been fans, somewhat ironically, of the paper and it's fun small-town vibe. Also, note that we are always a week behind since it takes a while for the paper to get to NYC.

Front Page Becky Greene has accused candidate for sheriff, Jeff Bradford, of unlawfully engaging in sexual contact by touching her breast against her will. The alleged incident took place following the debates at Thursday's Republican Forum.
Ms. Greene told the reporter, "His wife and children were sitting behind me. When he approached me he reached out to try and shake my hand. I turned away from him to my left and that's when he put his hand on my breast."
Mr. Bradford called the charges "purely political". Why he feels this way is not elaborated in the story. We are only told he was fired in July 2005 when at that time he was the third ranking officer in the sheriff's department.
You might think that reporter, Jim Lisk, was so taken at the thought of mentioning a breast on the front page of this rather quiet county newspaper that he failed to follow-up on these rather insightful details but being that this is Stanly County everyone already knows why Jeff was fired.
