Police records released this week link a vehicle registered to former Cary Town Manager Sean Stegall to a 2016 drug investigation at a local hotel, though authorities never filed charges against him. Officers observed the car outside the Harrison Hotel, which was under investigation for suspected drug activity, and later traced it to Stegall’s home address. The report does not confirm who was driving the vehicle.

Cary Town Council members said they reviewed the records earlier this month and chose to release them to the public in the interest of transparency. Town officials described the documents as raising questions but declined to speculate about events that occurred nearly a decade ago.

Police Chief Terry Sult said his review found no basis for further action and confirmed that Stegall was never charged in connection with the case.

The disclosure comes as Stegall faces a separate criminal investigation into his management of public funds. State auditors identified potential misuse of town money, including spending on luxury hotel rooms, land deals, and educational expenses. The matter remains under review by the district attorney and state investigators.

We’re rewinding the feed to spotlight a standout moment, story, or snapshot from Cary’s past. Let’s scroll back and see…

From Issue #838 (February 7, 2026)

Poll Question: "What should be the Town of Cary's priority moving forward?"

Readers overwhelmingly called for increased transparency and internal oversight, with 55.56% of the vote— more than double the next closest option.

Other Priorities:

This poll shows the progression of reader sentiment from the earlier Issue #816 poll where 49% expressed lack of confidence in the investigation. Now, readers are moving from criticism to concrete demands: they want systemic reforms focused on transparency and oversight, not just investigation of past wrongdoing.

The comments reveal three main frustrations:

Following a single-car crash on US Highway 1 near Tryon Road that sent four juveniles to the hospital with serious injuries, Cary Spotlight asked readers what measures they believe would best improve safety for young drivers. The accident, which occurred late Friday night, ruled out alcohol but left investigators working to determine the cause.

🏆 Top Response: Increased Parental Supervision and Curfews, with 36.84%, emerged as readers' preferred safety measure.

Poll Breakdown:

Readers expressed strong support for enforcement and supervision:

"Also more training for teenage drivers."

"Our youth is constantly on their phones while driving. Not just them, but this is a big problem."
"I have been a Raleigh-area resident for 5 years and rarely see drivers pulled over and ticketed for speeding, running red lights, or expired tags. I previously lived in Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania where enforcement of those is at a much higher level than here. I just assumed local law enforcement here decided not to prioritize it and as a result, people are speeding everywhere. Zero consequences."

"Speed enforcement is the low hanging fruit of safety. Just pick it!"
