On 11/15/2012 at approximately 07:52 am Midland City Police Department received
a call in reference to an unwanted subject at a residence in the 700 block of Kelly
Ave. in Midland City.

Moments later Dale County E911 received a call from a different caller advising
they needed the police to an address in the 700 block of Kelly Ave. in Midland City
for a possible domestic situation.

Both callers advised that there was a male subject at the location threatening to kill
himself and/or possibly harm others. Once law enforcement arrived on scene they
came into contact with (1) black male subject in a silver (4) door type vehicle parked
in the 700 block of Kelly Ave.

At this point authorities established communications with the subject and he
advised that he wanted to kill himself. During this time more law enforcement and
rescue personnel continued to arrive on scene.

Wallace Community College recently awarded the fall 2012 National Peanut Festival Scholarship to Carissa Renee Sanders. Sanders is a first semester student in the WCC Physical Therapist Assistant program.

“My family budget did not allow for the cost of college, so I had to apply for student loans,” said Sanders. “This scholarship has relieved some of the financial burden of tuition.”

Sanders is married with three daughters, including a six-year-old and three-year-old twins.

Recipients of the NPF scholarship must hold a GPA of 2.5 or higher and demonstrate financial need. One scholarship of up to $750 is presented per semester to a qualifying student.

Applications are accepted via the College’s website (www.wallace.edu<http://www.wallace.edu>) or by visiting the financial aid office.
