Officers honored for work in Kearney arrest

Roanoke Rapids police officers have been honored not only in-house but by the State Bureau of Investigation for the part they played in arresting one of the suspects in the murder of Dr. Nancy Alford at her home at Lake Gaston last month.

Kevin Munn made a brief appearance in Warren County District Court today only to be told his date was rescheduled for April 4 in his first-degree murder case in the death of Roanoke Rapids psychologist Nancy Alford.
