Autreydrez Maldonado

FREEDOM -- Deputies on Monday identified Jeovahni Maldonado as the 17-year-old stabbed to death at his home on Buena Vista Drive in Freedom.

Autreydrez Maldonado, his 20-year-old brother, was arrested on suspicion of murder on Friday, said Santa Cruz County sheriff's deputy Ryan Kennedy. Autreydrez remained in Santa Cruz County Jail on Monday in lieu of $750,000 bail, according to jail records.

Authorities have not yet described the attack that led to Jeovahni Maldonado's death, but they said a 911 call was made from their home at 38 Buena Vista Drive about 7:20 a.m. Friday.

Jeovahni was taken to Watsonville Community Hospital by car and died at the hospital, deputies said. An autopsy took place Monday but authorities have not released his cause of death.

Prosecutors have not charged Autreydrez, but authorities said he is expected to be arraigned Wednesday in Santa Cruz County Superior Court.

Deputies had responded to the home several times in the past two months for domestic violence-related problems.

Jeovahni's and Autreydrez's 48-year-old father, Edward Maldonado, was arrested at the house on Oct. 15 on suspicion of corporal injury and a probation violation, according to deputies.

Edward Maldonado's criminal record includes a no contest plea to felony resisting an officer with injury in 2011. He was sentenced to one year in jail and three years of probation in that case, according to court records.

Freedom Transit may change service routes

Unless Freedom Transit can secure more than $22,000, the Adams County fixed route service and commuter bus service will be reduced significantly or ended completely this December.

Without those funds, the authority plans to remove one of two commuter express busses for route 15N, which provides service between Gettysburg and Harrisburg, according to a news release.

The plan would also eliminate service to the Outlet Shoppes at Gettysburg and the Eisenhower Hotel and Conference Center on the Lincoln Red Line. The Gray Line would be reduced by four hours per day with no Sunday service. The Gold Line would be reduced by four hours per day.

The Adams County Shared Ride Program would still operate, but riders may face a fare increase.

The free system, started in 2009 as a three-year demonstration project, provided more than 149,000 trips in 2013 and grew 76 percent between 2012 and 2013, according to the release.

The Authority needs $65,264 in local funds to access more than $900,000 in state and federal funds, the release stated.

The Adams County Commissioners intend to supply $43,125 of the required $65,264 to keep service running. But unless the additional $22,000 can be secured from surrounding municipalities, the authority will significantly change its service Dec. 9, according to the release.

Rock Hill, Freedom Temple leaders battle in court over land value

Posted on by

A dispute between the city of Rock Hill and leaders of Freedom Temple over land value in the citys former textile area has landed in court.

Rock Hill filed a condemnation action with a York County court in late September against the local church after negotiations over the city purchasing a tenth of an acre failed.

Under state law, the city can condemn or acquire a private landowners property if it is needed for public purposes. The Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and South Carolinas Constitution states that landowners must be given just compensation for property acquired by the government for public purposes.

In its condemnation filing, Rock Hill said it is offering $5,300 for a portion of 2.3 acres owned by the church on West White Street. The city is seeking the property as part of its Knowledge Park project, which calls for developing the former Textile Corridor property between downtown and Winthrop into a center for high-tech research and production.

But, church leaders say their land is worth more money than that. In the churchs last counter offer to Rock Hill, it asked the city to pay $21,000 for a portion of its land.

The same day, Rock Hill filed its suit against the church.

Now, Freedom Temple has asked the court for a jury trial in hopes of receiving more than $5,300.

Church leaders have opted not to hire an attorney and are representing themselves in the lawsuit. Local law firm Spencer and Spencer is representing Rock Hill.

The land in question is located on the corner of West White Street and Stewart Avenue, close to the site of the old Rock Hill Printing and Finishing Company commonly referred to as the Bleachery.

Rock Hill officials say they need a small part of the churchs lot to make utility and road improvements to West White Street one aspect of readying the old textile area for new Knowledge Park development. In total, Freedom Temple owns about 2.3 acres, divided into several parcels of land facing White and Lee streets and Stewart Avenue.

Article updated: 11/1/2013 4:22 PM

Retail restaurants and microbreweries in Naperville aren't allowed to sell brews in growlers the craft beer term for two-liter bottles but that could change beginning with a discussion scheduled for Tuesday's city council meeting.

The council plans to start consideration of a new growler permit that would allow businesses with Class B restaurant liquor licenses to sell beer brewed on-site for consumption off-site in 67-ounce containers.

If the growler permit receives preliminary approval Tuesday and a final nod at a later city council meeting, the first restaurant to apply could be one of four eateries being built with the Freedom Plaza development on the city's north side.

Granite City Food & Brewery, a Minnesota-based chain with 34 locations in 13 states, will occupy one of the four restaurant outlots accompanying a 168-room Embassy Suites hotel scheduled to open next summer at Abriter Court and Independence Avenue west of the Freedom Commons development.
