Overview

Brunswick County sheriff's deputies charged Megan Lynn Edmondson, 19, with assault with a deadly weapon on a government official and fleeing to elude arrest with a motor vehicle, both felonies. She is also charged with failing to heed lights and sirens and reckless driving to endanger. Edmondson, of North Atlantic Avenue, Southport, hit a Brunswick County Sheriff's Office car head-on. Authorities said Deputy Brannon Gray was taken to the hospital as a precaution but did not suffer any serious injuries. Boiling Spring Lakes police first responded to the call, which led to a high-speed chase. Edmondson also struck a Boiling Spring Lakes police car during the pursuit, and additional charges will be filed by that agency, deputies said. Jane Kulesza, chairwoman of Oak Island's Tree City Advisory Board, said the tree bank will serve as a repository for local live oak saplings and other trees that might otherwise be lost to clear cutting. The bank \"will be a temporary holding area for trees removed from properties under development, as well as a nursery for trees grown from local genetic stock,\" Kulesza said.
