And in other police news, we have updates to stories we reported on last night. Police have charged a man in connection with the shooting and robbery of Hope Creek Fisherman Harry Montero. As we told you he was attempting to pay a man some money he owed - but ended up getting shot and robbed. Police told us more about this case.

"Police received information that there was a victim with gunshot injury at the KHMH. Upon arrival they discovered 26 year old Harry Montero with a single gunshot wound to the right leg. Mr. Montero reported that he was at a mechanic shop in Ladyville, this is near the Fire Station, when he was approached by one Aaron Flowers. He and Flowers had a misunderstanding with monies owed to Flowers. In the process of that dispute, a firearm was produced and Mr. Montero was shot. He was also robbed of a gold chain, three hundred and forty dollars in cash and a cell phone. So far, police have arrested and charged one Darrell Gray with robbery and we are seeking Flowers at this time."
