Charming Weather and Troubling Incident Spotlight Community Challenges in Greenwood

Charming Weather Greets Greenwood With Sunshine and Pleasantness!

Good day, Greenwood! It looks like the sun has decided to pay us a long due visit. **Sunshine and a few afternoon clouds** are what we’re delightfully expecting in our neck of the woods. A pleasant day with a high of **77°F** and a gentle **NE wind** at 5 to 10 mph might just make you want to step outside and enjoy a little fresh air. And come nightfall, the skies will graciously offer us their **partly cloudy** nature as the temperature cools down to a comfy **54°F**. Same easy winds from the northeast will be around, helping us peacefully settle into the night.

An Unexpected Incident in Greenwood

On an entirely different note, there’s been some buzz around town about an incident that happened last week, October 4th to be precise. **Greenwood police** had to step in for a welfare check at Kings Court. There they discovered a rather troubling scene with a man found unresponsive by the roadside.

What was even more concerning was that a **black handgun** was found on the man along with a **broken crack pipe** next to him. The police report mentioned that there were multiple indicators of **narcotic use**, which hinted towards a possible **overdose**. The individual was promptly taken to **Self Regional Medical Center** to ensure he got the necessary medical attention.

During their investigation, the police discovered that the man, **Dennis Thomas Deal**, aged 61 and a resident of Milwee Ave Apartments, was in violation of the law. Past **felony convictions** prohibited him from possessing a firearm or ammunition, leading to charges filed against him. These events add a serious tone to our usually serene streets, prompting a swift conversation about firearms and drug use within our community.

Your Thoughts Matter!

These kinds of situations remind us of the importance of community engagement and staying informed about what happens around us. Certainly, this isn’t the usual sunshine and good news, but it’s essential for us to be aware and proactive. If you have any thoughts or stories you’d like to bring forward, don’t hold back. **Sharing your news tips and story ideas** can help us stay connected as a community, aware and responsive.
