Curfew Change, Remembering Chief Lockamy, and Breezy Forecast - Virginia Beach Local Pulse
Published 2 months, 1 week ago
Description
Good morning, this is Virginia Beach Local Pulse for Thursday, February 19th.
We're starting this morning with an important reminder about a significant change coming to our city. Just this week, our City Council unanimously voted to move the curfew for unaccompanied minors from eleven o'clock to ten o'clock at night. The vote was ten to nothing, and this new curfew takes effect in about thirty days, so you'll want to mark your calendars for mid-March. City leaders say this change is designed to help keep our young residents safe in their own communities and to give police another tool to manage large unpermitted gatherings that can suddenly pop up on social media. The good news is there are several exceptions to the curfew, including for young people traveling to and from work, attending concerts, and participating in religious events and youth group activities. Mayor Bobby Dyer emphasized that the city is not looking to make arrests. Instead, if minors are found out after curfew, their parents will be called to pick them up immediately. Police Chief Paul Neudigate told us the move is particularly timely as we head into April, when the city typically sees an uptick in large youth-related gatherings at the resort.
On a somber note, we're remembering Ronald Lockamy Junior this week. The sixty-two-year-old Virginia Beach resident and former Nansemond Indian Tribe chief died from injuries sustained in a two-vehicle crash on Shore Drive last Friday evening. According to Virginia Beach Police, the crash happened around six o'clock in the fifty-five hundred block of Shore Drive. Lockamy was traveling east when the driver of the other vehicle moved into his traffic lane. He was transported to the hospital in critical condition but sadly did not survive. The driver of the first vehicle suffered non-life-threatening injuries. Police say the investigation is ongoing, and anyone with information can contact the Virginia Beach Police Department at seven fifty-seven three eighty-five forty-six zero-six or Crime Solvers at one-eight-eight-eight LOCK-U-UP.
Looking at today's weather, we're expecting it to be quite pleasant. Temperatures will reach the mid to upper sixties, about ten degrees warmer than yesterday. We'll see mostly cloudy skies with a strong southwest wind at ten to twenty miles per hour, with gusts potentially reaching thirty miles per hour. Scattered showers are expected to move in tonight, so keep that umbrella handy as we head into the evening.
