For second time in a week, illegal immigrant accused of hit-and-run
  RALEIGH -- Federal immigration officials say a second illegal immigrant suspected of causing a serious wreck this week will not be allowed out of jail. Earlier this week, the news covered the return of Efren Roblero to the streets of Wake County. Roblero is accused of driving drunk and causing a crash that injured two people over the weekend. He managed to post his $75,000 bond and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials approved his release from jail. Now, another illegal immigrant, Antonio Arellano, is accused of hit-and-run causing serious injury, driving without a license, and reckless driving. "Just looked up and there's a truck coming head on. I tried to swerve to avoid it, and there was nothing I could do," said Stephanie Johnson. Johnson, who suffered a lacerated liver, a broken wrist and ribs, and a compound fracture to her left leg, can't believe anyone could walk away from a crash and leave someone badly injured. "I know he heard me screaming for help," said Johnson. "That's all. That's all I ever remember saying, 'Help me. Get me out of this car.'"

CHARLOTTE, NC - There are serious concerns at the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department (CMPD) after a man shot a female hotel clerk for no apparent reason. Police are calling it a random act of violence, but it may be more than that. "This thing has really got the public disturbed," said CMPD Officer Tori Roddey. There is surveillance video from the Drury Inn on 415 West W.T. Harris Boulevard which shows a thin young man, dressed in camouflage shorts and matching Chicago Bulls hat with a bright red shirt, walking into the hotel office. Immediately, he pulled out a handgun and shot the hotel clerk in the chest. "Thank God it went straight through her shoulder area," Officer Roddey said. "A few inches down and she could have been in trouble." After shooting her, the gunman ran out of the hotel, and never tried to rob the place. So why did he walk in and shoot her? Was there some sort of connection between the two? "From what we've gathered so far, there's no connection," Roddey said. Oddly, this same man was seen actually robbing the Rodeway Inn on West Sugar Creek just 40 minutes earlier. He pulled his gun, but didn't use it. Quietly, police sources say this may have been a gang initiation since the shooter was wearing red, a notorious gang color.
