SUMMARY: With Fourth of July approaching, Beckley is filled with firework tents, but safety is crucial. Beckley Fire Station 1 advises setting off fireworks only in clear, open areas away from buildings, people, vehicles, and flammable materials. Always read instructions before use, understand the range and effects, and keep children away from fireworks. Never relight a dud firework; wait 10 to 20 minutes, then soak and safely dispose of it. Use long-nose lighters to avoid burns, and never hold or point fireworks unless designed to be held, like sparklers. For maximum safety, consider leaving fireworks to the professionals.

There’s no shortage of fireworks tents all over Beckley in anticipation of July 4th. If you plan to purchase any, you must know how to properly and safely handle the sparklers.

SUMMARY: The judge denied bail for hip hop mogul Sha Denny Combmes ahead of his sentencing, citing his disregard for the law and violence. Combmes was found guilty of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution but not guilty of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy. The jury heard testimony from 34 witnesses, including former girlfriends Cassie Ventura and a woman known as Jane, who described coercion into sexual encounters and domestic abuse. Prosecutors aim for incarceration, with potential sentences up to 20 years. While Combmes and his defense celebrated acquittals on serious charges, the judge rejected bond requests, scheduling sentencing for October 3, with possible rescheduling.

A jury on Wednesday reached a unanimous verdict on all counts in Sean “Diddy” Combs’ sex trafficking trial in New York City on the third day of deliberations.
