Cary Police Charge Man After Inappropriate Contact Reported at Walmart
An unsettling encounter at a Cary Walmart led to the arrest of a Raleigh man, who is now facing a sexual battery charge. The incident unfolded on Wednesday afternoon, when a woman in the checkout line reported that a man approached from behind and rubbed himself against her.
Startled, the woman turned and threw a water bottle at the man, who left the store. Cary Police were able to identify and apprehend the suspect the next morning when he was spotted at the same Walmart. Officials say he made incriminating statements during questioning.
The man, 31-year-old Stephon Ingram of Raleigh, was formally charged and taken into custody. Police have not released additional information, but the case remains active. Read Full Report

The Answer to the Cary Spotlight Hook Question 👇👇👇

Credit: Kilimanjaro National Park
Mount Kilimanjaro, located in northeastern Tanzania, is the tallest mountain in Africa, rising to 5,895 meters (19,341 feet) above sea level. Known as the "Roof of Africa," Kilimanjaro is a dormant stratovolcano with three distinct volcanic cones: Kibo, Mawenzi, and Shira. Its snow-capped peak, even near the equator, draws thousands of climbers and adventurers from around the world. The mountain's ecosystems range from lush rainforests to alpine deserts, making the ascent both challenging and breathtakingly beautiful.
