Hang onto your hats, folks, it's another blog post ~ 3rd one in 3 days! As I've said before, I blog when I have something worthy to say. I feel this will be worthy. As some of you know, I created a video featuring my daughter's reaction to the news that Arkansas is considering removing the eligibility to be removed from the sex offender registry for persons with victims under the age of 18. Admittedly, I was desparate and felt pushed into a corner, only having two days to prepare for the bill, which was scheduled to be presented Wednesday.

A 41-year-old city man is dead and police are following "strong leads" in the investigation, police say. Officers responded to the 900 block of Buren Street in Hopewell for a reported shooting. There, they located Richard Miles Hawthorne, 41, with a gunshot wound to the chest. Hawthorne was declared dead at the scene, according to a statement issued this morning. Hawthorne is a registered sex offender listed in the Virginia State Police registry. He was convicted of attempted rape and abduction for immoral purposes in 1995 in Prince George County, according to records. He had renewed his registration on March 19. Police report they have strong leads in the case and do not believe it was a random act of violence. Anyone with information can reach Hopewell Police Department at 541-2222, or the Hopewell/Prince George Crime Solvers at 541-2202. You can also text-a-tip anonymously to "274637 (CRIMES).
