Hmmm, it didn't print the story. Here's the headline:

"Man arrested after allegedly smacking former tenant ‘upside the head’

and the story:

"HURRICANE – A 49-year-old man was arrested on burglary charges Friday after he allegedly punched a woman in the face and went into her home."

"Officers responded to a residence on the 50 East block of 100 North on a report of an assault, Hurricane City Police Officer Troy Hall said in a probable cause statement supporting the arrest. Officers spoke with a woman who said Robert Darren Lawson arrived at her residence and punched her in the nose while forcing his way into the front entry of her home and then fled the scene."

(by the way, it's pronounced "her-uh-kin.")

I know - down here we have a suburb that is spelled Humble. We all know how to pronounce that, right? No, while someone can be humble down here, the way you pronounce the town is "Um-bell".

Our place has a little weird pronunciation also.
Where i'm from we pronounce it "no-it-awl"...
