Norfolk judge grants bond to Harris Teeter guard accused of assault
NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) — A Norfolk General District Court judge granted bond to the Harris Teeter security guard accused of beating a man inside the store. Kharel Jones-White is facing one charge of malicious wounding related to the incident. He was working as an armed, uniformed security guard on the evening of June 2. Several family members and Harris Teeter employees as well as a man who said he was White-Jones' boss at the security company were in court to testify and show support. NPD: Man seriously injured after assault at W Ocean View Ave. Harris Teeter A witness in the case testified that White-Jones and the victim entered the store at the same time that night. A short time later, the witness said, White-Jones approached him and told him there was an issue with the man. 'The victim kept going at [White-Jones],' the store employee told the court, describing antagonizing behavior. Then, a physical altercation broke out between the two men. The witness told the court that White-Jones had the man in a headlock. Then, the man attempted to grab White-Jones' holstered handgun. White-Jones then stepped away to hand the gun to an employee, according to the witness. At some point, the victim began attempting to hit or stab White-Jones with a gold object, according to the witness and the defense attorney. The witness said the victim was trying to strike back during the entire incident. The commonwealth's attorney on the case opposed the bond motion, arguing that White-Jones had exercised excessive force, breaking the victim's eye socket and spilling 'a substantial amount of blood.' The prosecutor said that video, which was not show in court, captured the incident and showed White-Jones using OC spray before straddling the victim and punching him in the eye. 'This looks like that scene from 'No Country for Old Men,'' the judge remarked, when shown images from the security video. White-Jones' attorney said that he followed DCJS (Department of Criminal Justice Services) protocol. The judge ultimately released White-Jones on a $7,500 personal recognizance bond. He's prohibited from contacting the victim. A preliminary hearing date was set for August 6. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Consumer Reports visited 26 Krogers stores in 14 states and found 150-plus expired or misleading price tags
A monthlong Consumer Reports (CR) investigation alleges that shoppers at almost half of Kroger-owned grocery stores are overcharged for sale items. The investigation began after CR learned that Kroger workers in Colorado alleged widespread errors in pricing labels during union negotiations. In an effort to document the "size and breadth of the problem," CR recruited people to visit multiple stores in multiple states over several months. The results? Thanks to Jeff Bezos, you can now become a landlord for as little as $100 — and no, you don't have to deal with tenants or fix freezers. Here's how I'm 49 years old and have nothing saved for retirement — what should I do? Don't panic. Here are 5 of the easiest ways you can catch up (and fast) Nervous about the stock market in 2025? Find out how you can access this $1B private real estate fund (with as little as $10) 'The shoppers found expired sales labels that led to overcharges on more than 150 grocery items, including Cheerios cereal, Mucinex cold and flu medication, Nescafé instant coffee, boneless beef, salmon, and dog food,' the report stated. According to the report, CR recruited people to visit 26 Kroger stores — including Kroger, Harris Teeter, Fred Meyer, Fry's and Ralphs — across 14 states and the District of Columbia during March, April and May 2025. Shoppers documented more than 150 items where expired or misleading sales tags could have caused customers to pay more at checkout than the price listed on the shelf. Roughly one-third of the tags were outdated by at least 10 days, and several, they say, expired months before. The average overcharge was $1.70 per item — or, 18.4% more than the advertised sale price. 'People should pay the price that is being advertised, that's the law,' Consumer World founder Edgar Dworsky told CR. 'The issue here is that shoppers can't rely on the shelf price being accurate, and that's a big problem.' Items affected included a range of household staples and name-brand goods such as cereal, medication, instant coffee, meats, seafood and pet food. In some cases, the shelf tags still displayed promotional pricing well after the sale had ended, potentially misleading shoppers into thinking they were getting a discount. One example, KTLA News reports, was an 8-pack Mission Flour Tortillas advertised as on sale for $2.99 but showing as $4.00 when the CR shoppers checked their receipts. A Kroger representative responded to the report, saying the company regularly checks prices for accuracy and called the CR report a 'few dozen examples across several years out of billions of customer transactions annually.' The company said that while no errors are acceptable, characterizing a few mistakes as "widespread pricing concerns" is false. While Kroger is the latest retailer to come under scrutiny, it's not the only one. Other chains, including Walmart and Vons, have faced similar accusations in recent months. In October 2024, Albertsons agreed to pay $4 million to settle a lawsuit that accused the California grocery chain of charging more than the lowest advertised price for various items. Consumer advocates say the issue may be more common than most shoppers realize, and without checking receipts and shelf tag dates, many overcharges can easily go unnoticed. Read more: Want an extra $1,300,000 when you retire? Dave Ramsey says — and that 'anyone' can do it While price errors may not be intentional, they can still cost you money — especially if you're buying multiple items you thought were on sale. Consumer advocates say overcharges often go unnoticed, but with a few simple steps, shoppers can reduce the risk of paying more than they should. Here are a few ways to protect yourself at the register: Double-check your receipt. Review it before leaving the store to ensure sale prices were applied correctly. Take pictures of sale tags. If you're concerned something won't ring up right, take a photo of the tag to show the clerk. Look for expiration dates on sale tags. Some tags may still be posted even after the promotion ends. Check before you decide to purchase items you think are on sale. Speak up. If the price at checkout doesn't match what was listed on the shelf, ask for a correction. Know the rules. Most states do not have a law that requires stores to honor an expired sale tag. However, some stores will as a gesture of goodwill. Even major grocery chains can make mistakes, but staying alert can help ensure you're actually getting the deals you came for.

Since then, more recalls have occurred for products that included these cucumbers, which are sold in stores like Harris Teeter, Walmart, and Kroger. The recall includes salads, salsas, and other items made with fresh cucumbers. Consumers and retailers are urged to check their inventory and discard any impacted products.

A salmonella outbreak, in simple terms, means two or more people have become sick with salmonella from the same source, such as a contaminated food or drink. Public health officials investigate these outbreaks to identify the source and prevent further illness, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. What are the symptoms? According to the FDA, symptoms of salmonella infection usually appear within 12 to 72 hours after consuming contaminated food and typically last four to seven days. Common symptoms include diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps. Children under 5 years old, the elderly, and individuals with weakened immune systems are at a higher risk of experiencing severe infections. If you think you may have symptoms of a Salmonella infection, contact your healthcare provider immediately. What to do if you think you may have recalled cucumbers? The FDA advises anyone who has cucumbers at home to discard them if they are unsure of their origin. Businesses should refrain from selling these cucumbers and must notify customers who may have consumed them before the recall. If you purchased recalled cucumbers from grocery stores such as Walmart, Kroger, or Harris Teeter, you can return them to the store where you bought them for a refund. Moreover, the FDA recommends that consumers and businesses wash and sanitize any surfaces and items that may have come into contact with the cucumbers. At home, clean surfaces with hot, soapy water or use a dishwasher.
