Police seek men on several charges
The Aiken County Sheriff's Office holds warrants for the arrest of two Aiken County men wanted for burglary, grand larceny and kidnapping.
Kelvin Addison, 24, of 124 Kellogg Drive in Aiken, is wanted for first- and second-degree burglary and grand larceny.
Marquis Cummings, 26, of 1905 Seaborn Drive in North Augusta, is wanted for first- and second-degree burglary and kidnapping.
In September, Addison burglarized two residences, deputies said.
Both homes are in North Augusta, said Sgt. Dave Myers, with the Aiken County Sheriff's Office.
A pistol was stolen during one of the burglaries, according to officials.
Between January and November, Cummings reportedly burglarized three residences, Myers said.
During two of the burglaries, Cummings was armed with a handgun and held the residents against their will, Myers said.
All three residences are in North Augusta. Jewelry, electronics and a vehicle were stolen.
"Both Mr. Addison and Mr. Cummings may be suspects in additional burglaries within Aiken County and should be considered armed and dangerous," Myers said.
Anyone with information about these subjects is asked to contact the Aiken County Sheriff's Office at (800) 922-9709. Individuals also should call CrimeStoppers of the Midlands at (888) CRIME-SC.
Callers can remain anonymous and will be eligible for a cash reward of between $50 and $1,000.
Dad says missing boy was with him
About 12 hours after a 10-year-old North Augusta boy was reported missing from his foster home, Tyson Curry's biological father contacted North Augusta Public Safety to report that his son was with him.
On Thursday evening, North Augusta Public Safety officers responded to Summit Commons Court in reference to a missing child. The officers learned that Tyson Curry left his residence at 4:15 p.m. on his bicycle.
At 6:50 a.m., Curry's biological father contacted police to say his son was with him at North Augusta Gardens Apartments.
The boy is now in Department of Social Services' care.
Lt. Tim Pearson, a spokesperson for North Augusta Public Safety, said no charges have been filed, adding that there was no evidence of criminal wrongdoing.
Professor will sign her newest book
Dr. Maggie Thurmond Dorsey, assistant professor of nursing at USC Aiken, will hold a book signing for her newest children's book, "My Hero, My Dad the Nurse Played Football," at the Augusta-Richmond County Public Library on Sunday from 2 to 4 p.m. The library is located at 902 Green St. Also attending the signing will be Rusty the Colt, the mascot for the Augusta Colts football team, as well as several Colts players. Contact Dorsey at maggied@usca.edu.
Feast of Carols will be Dec. 1
USC Aiken's Department of Visual and Performing Arts will present its annual celebration, the Feast of Carols, at the Etherredge Center Tuesday, Dec. 1 at 7 p.m.
Proceeds from the medieval evening of dining, music and entertainment will benefit students in the department. Tickets are $40 each and may be purchased in tables of eight for $320. Because of the Thanksgiving holiday, the box office will be open only Monday and Tuesday this week. Call the box office at 641-3305.
The medieval dinner will include beef and barley soup, chicken in wine sauce, roasted red potatoes, mixed vegetables and bread pudding accompanied by well-known holiday tunes. Additional entertainment will include vocalists, the brass, woodwind and percussion ensembles and an improv troupe.
