LUMBERTON — Investigators are looking for the person responsible for a fire that destroyed a Lumberton home on Wednesday, according to the Robeson County Sheriff’s Department.

The fire was set to a couch inside the single-wide mobile home at Lot 31 of Homestead Mobile Home Park, at Pine Log Road, at about 1:46 p.m., according to sheriff’s Lt. Brian Duckworth.

Neighbors saw a tall, slim, shirtless Indian man, wearing dark shorts and a backward baseball cap walk out of the back door of the home shortly before they saw the fire, Duckworth said. The man was seen walking in the direction of Watts Road, he said.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Sheriff’s Office at 671-3100. Callers can remain anonymous.

Wonder how they gonna find that man? That description they gave is half the county! And why don't we stop all this burning all the dadgum time?! It must be some strange fixation. If it aint the bad firefighters (and thank God for the good ones) it's somebody else just wanna smell somethin burn.

Happy 236th
Thousands of people were dazzled by the fireworks display at the annual Lumberton Family Fourth celebration at the Lumberton High School football stadium on Tuesday. Many watched the display from parking lots and sidewalks around town and from their own front yards. Before the show, attendees were treated to a performance by the Carolina Breakers, and a stunt by the Army Rangers, who parachuted onto the football field.

In regards to FULL Federal Recognition for the Lumbee tribe, I believe we ARE long overdue! To my fellow Lums: If you have a problem with the tribal government, get involved! Not ALL Lums are greedy, and not all Tribal Council members are corrupt. You must trust your decisions & have faith that the people YOU elect are the right individuals to get the job done in an ethical fashion. If not, then run for it yourself & make a change!! Last but not least, to the "individuals" who wish to REMAIN ignorant to the Lumbee culture & history: Just remember that your public ignorance is more damaging than greed, lies, and any other problem combined. I suppose you still believe that Christopher Columbus discovered America and the moon is really made of cheese... How silly of you to promote discrimination in this day and age.

So Woods & Cummings wrote your department a PERSONAL check? Otherwise I believe that money came from the taxpayers of Robeson County and NOT Woods and Cummings. You should be thanking the taxpayers.

Robeson County pays enough taxes that our agencies should not depend on the commissioners for handouts. Get real when a real budget is put together to keep the commissioners from taking our tax dollars to by votes then we won't settle for the slithering around saying here is a little donation. IT IS OUR MONEY THEY ARE HANDING OUT. In 24yrs what has he done for our economy, education, and crimerate. OH 100 out of 100. We can stop there. It gets worse. I pray Faline blows him back to the big house where he resides. JUST SAY NO TO BUYING VOTES. Wake up RESCUEBOY. He gave you your own money back!!!!!
