One man is dead and a sherriff's deputy injured after a shootout in Botetourt County.
Sherriff Reid Kelly says it happened around three this morning.
Botetourt County deputy Ernest Spiva (Spy-va) pulled a pick-up truck over on Hardbarger Road under suspicion of drunk driving.
He called for backup and during the investigation the driver-- 28-year old Leonard Brent Jenkins of Buchanan-- pulled out a nine milli-meter pistol and fired three shots.
Deputy Spiva was hit twice in the chest.
He was wearing his protective vest and was only bruised by the bullets.
Deputy Greg Hepler fired one shot, killing Jenkins.
Sherriff Kelley called the incident "a completely justifiable shooting."

Police found Scott Alexander Stanley of Rocky Mount dead in his brother's home last night--apparently shot several times.
Authorities believe an argument between Scott and his brother Jason Brent Stanley may have led to the shooting.
Police arrested Jason and charged him with second degree murder.
Police also searched the home, seizing 596-gallons of moonshine, and two vans allegedly used to transport illegal whiskey.

This family has a history of run-ins with the law.

Sports fans may not care how Salem became the haven for division three college sports championships....they probably just enjoy the action.
One man was instrumental in bringing those sports competitions to the valley.
Dan Wooldridge has spent his lifetime either on a court or field.

I ALWAYS FELT DIVISION THREE OFFICIALS SHOULD GET TO REFEREE THE DIVISION THREE CHAMPIONSHIPS. SO IN 1988 WE TOOK A CREW TO PHOENIX CITY, ALABAMA TO WORK THE GAME. )) RUNS:30
OUT Q=

It doesn't seen right just to title Dan Wooldridge as the retired commissioner of the Old Dominion Athletic Conference.
Though he held that job for more than 20 years and was the conference's first commissioner.
Wooldridge has also worn the hat of the Big East Conference's head official.
Not to mention his community service with the Rotary Club.

IN Q=I THOUGHT
((I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE GREAT TO HAVE ALL THE TEAMS AND PARENTS AT ONE LOCATION SO THEY STARTED IN 1980 AND THIS IS THE 18TH SEASON THAT THE ROTARY CLUB HAS SPONSORED IT. THE CLUB HAS MADE SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 175-200,000 DOLLARS THAT THEY'VE GIVEN BACK TO THE COMMUNITY AND THE CONFERENCE HAS MADE 85-90,000 DOLLARS.)) RUNS:30
OUT Q=85-90,000 dOLLARS

Wooldridge has spent years in the midst of the sports action both as a player and referee.
His committment with the Big East conference ended when the last whistle was blown in January's Bowl games.
Now you'll find him on the sidelines of the ODAC basketball tournament.
He had BOTH knees replaced in January, but the surgery hasn't sidelined this official.

Or Wooldridge says he may help work with another conference or get back into coaching.
Golf is a definite.
But whatever he decides to do with his RETIREMENT, he says after more than

forty years he can't just hang up his cleats.2-Scores
