News briefs: 11/21/07

Posted on November 21, 2007 by Staff

Innovation Center
Alexandria Real Estate Equities and UNC staff members will present drawings of the proposed Innovation Center for the Carolina North campus to the community at a meeting Nov. 29, 5:30 to 7 p.m., at the Robert and Pearl Seymour Center, 2551 Homestead Road. The public is invited to attend this meeting. Free parking is available and refreshments will be served.

The 85,000-square-foot Innovation Center will provide space and resources for UNC faculty and staff who have intellectual property with commercial potential. Although the center will be located on university-owned land at Carolina North, the building will be privately owned and will pay taxes to the local community. The Chapel Hill Town Council is currently scheduled to review the plan at its Jan. 23 meeting.

Suspect arrested
On Saturday, Nov. 17, at around 1:50 a.m., Chapel Hill Police responded to a reported disturbance at Bailey’s Pub and Grill on Fordham Blvd. They received a second report from a victim stating the suspect, later identified as Lewis Quentin Robinson, allegedly struck the victim with his vehicle and fired shots at him in the parking lot. The victim was later treated for a laceration to the hand and released from UNC Hospital.

A search warrant was obtained and served. The vehicle allegedly used and a handgun were seized from the suspect’s residence. Police obtained arrest warrants for attempted first-degree murder and assault with intent to kill inflicting serious injury. Robinson is being held on $200,000 bond in Orange County.
