OAK HILL -- Talk about the pot calling the kettle black: In a shocking turn of events, NSBNews.net has learned that embattled Police Chief Diane Young -- whose past use of cocaine and marijuana is well chronicled -- was the driving force behind Sheriff's narcotics investigators showing up at 84-year-old Mary Lee Cook's house last month to confront her about marijuana plants on her property.

Young had denied any involvement in the episode in media interviews, including NSBNews.net, which broke the story Monday night. The mayor was not charged and the marijuana plants were destroyed, but what remains a mystery is how they got there in the first place.

OAK HILL -- Oak Hill Mayor Mary Lee Cook's insistence that marijuana plants were placed on her property to frame her was reported in 181 media outlets nationwide Wednesday, two days after NSBNews.net broke the story live from Monday night's City Commission meeting.

OAK HILL -- When a Jacksonville Beach cop pulled over Laura Goodearly for suspicion of DUI, he "immediately detected a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from her breath which she became stronger as she spoke."
