Roanoke business owner Sherry Frantz received a call claiming to be from AEP that threatened to shut off her power in 20 minutes for a $999.88 past-due bill—even though her account was up to date—and she later confirmed the call was fraudulent while warning others to use only the number listed on their bills.

Roanoke Police are searching for missing 17-year-old Natalie Routt, last seen June 11 at 10:45 p.m. near 9th Street SE in a white crop top and black shorts—she has red hair, brown eyes, a Saturn tattoo on her right wrist, a nose piercing and a medical condition requiring medication; anyone with information should call Roanoke Police at 540 853 2212.

On Friday, Gov. Youngkin signed a bill that makes it a crime to cause an overdose death by knowingly manufacturing, selling or distributing fentanyl.

The law creates an offense of involuntary manslaughter and is part of his plan to hold drug dealers accountable—efforts that coincide with a 44 percent drop in fentanyl-related deaths year-over-year.

Roanoke County administrative offices will be closed on Thursday, June 19 for Juneteenth — other county services including public libraries and the clerk of circuit court will also have modified hours.
