Mar. 24—ANDERSON — A former Anderson resident was arrested Tuesday on a felony charge of sexual misconduct with a minor.

Brandon C. Hancock, 30, Mountain Home, Arkansas, is charged with a Level 5 felony charge of sexual misconduct with a 15-year-old girl.

According to the probable cause affidavit, the investigation by Detective Eric Holtzleiter of the Anderson Police Department started last October after the incident was reported by the girl's mother.

During a Kids Talk interview, the girl said she was supposed to be dating Hancock.

She said they kissed, hugged and Hancock fondled her several times.

Hancock moved to Arkansas with his father in November, and Holtzleiter arranged for an interview through the Mountain View Police Department.

During the interview, Hancock and his father indicated they wanted to have an attorney appointed.

By Jan. 22, there was no response from the Hancock family, and Holtzleiter obtained a warrant for Brandon Hancock's arrest.

What Happened: The NGI program is designed to be the first line of defense against intercontinental ballistic missile attacks from hostile nations. Northrop will partner with Raytheon Missiles & Defense, a business of Raytheon Technologies Corp (NYSE: RTX) on its project, which is scheduled to run through May 2026. Lockheed will work with Aerojet Rocketdyne Holdings Inc (NYSE: AJRD) on its project, which is set to run through August 2025. Boeing Co (NYSE: BA) had also submitted a bid to participate in the NGI program, but the MDA declined to move forward with its proposal. Related Link: Lockheed Martin And Omnispace Take On SpaceX With Plans For Space-Based Internet Why It Matters: "NGI is the result of the first holistic technical assessment of homeland defenses the department has conducted since initial system operations began in 2004," said Vice Admiral Jon Hill, MDA director. "By planning to carry two vendors through technology development, MDA will maximize the benefits of competition to deliver the most effective and reliable homeland defense missile to the warfighter as soon as possible. "Once fielded," Hill added, "this new homeland defense interceptor will be capable of defeating expected threat advances into the 2030s and beyond."

Crotty issued his ruling in the case against Joshua Schulte, finding that there was nothing illegal about a suburban grand jury in White Plains returning the indictment during the coronavirus pandemic rather than a grand jury in Manhattan that normally would have done so. Schulte faces an October trial on charges that he leaked a massive trove of CIA hacking tools to WikiLeaks.

  • Queen’s Tenth Great-Grandchild Born on the Bathroom Floor

    Alan Crowhurst/Getty ImagesQueen Elizabeth’s tenth great-grandchild was born Sunday—on the bathroom floor.Princess Anne’s daughter, Zara Tindall, and her husband, the former England rugby player Mike, had not been planning a home birth but were unable to make it in time to the hospital when the baby, a boy who is 22nd in line to the throne, arrived with a minimum of pomp and circumstance.The unusually informal circumstances of the latest royal birth were disclosed by Mike Tindall on the sports podcast The Good, The Bad and The Rugby.Mike said that after watching rugby matches all weekend: “Sunday got even better because a little baby boy arrived at my house.”As his co-hosts showered him with congratulations, Tindall said he was feeling “brilliant” after the birth at 6 p.m. Sunday.At the time the podcast was recorded, the couple had not chosen a name, with Tindall saying, “We always struggle with that, we have never picked one before they arrive.” However, a spokesperson for the couple subsequently said Wednesday, “Zara and Mike Tindall are happy to announce the birth of their third child, Lucas Philip Tindall.” The baby’s second name is a tribute to Prince Philip, who is due to turn 100 in June. He will have no title as Princess Anne’s children were not given “HRH” styling at her request to enable them to lead more normal lives.A Buckingham Palace spokesman said, “The queen and the Duke of Edinburgh are delighted with the news and look forward to meeting their 10th great-grandchild when circumstances allow.”Asked if the baby was “bonny,” Tindall said he weighed eight pounds four ounces and arrived “very quickly.”“We didn’t make it to hospital. On the bathroom floor,” he said.Asked if he was hands-on at the birth, Tindall revealed that a friend of Zara’s who had been present at the birth of the couple’s previous children was on hand again.“She was there and recognized that we wouldn’t have got to hospital in time, so yeah, it was running to the gym, get a mat, get into the bathroom, get the mat on the floor, towels down, brace, brace, brace.”Tindall added, “Fortunately the midwife who was going to meet us at the hospital wasn’t that far away so she drove up, and got there just as we’d assumed the position. The second midwife arrived just after the head had arrived!”Mike said, “As every man would say, she was a warrior, they always are, we can never judge a woman in terms of what they have to go through in childbirth. She was back up, we went for a walk this morning with him and it’s all good.”Tindall said he cut the cord: “I was literally like, ‘Snip. Snip-snip. I got a boy, I’m out of here.’Tindall added, “The best thing about being at home was, as soon as he’s wrapped up, skin on skin, [we went] straight downstairs, TV room, golf on, and I’m like, ‘This is what you and me are doing.’”He said he also watched a vintage rugby game from 1996 with his newborn son.“The training has begun already, twelve hours in,” his co-host joked.Read more at The Daily Beast.Get our top stories in your inbox every day.
