All-day breakfast on McDonald's menu
The fast food Goliath is said to be moving ahead with its plans for around-the-clock McMuffins and other breakfast items.
McDonald's has been testing the idea of all-day breakfast since March. Now an internal memo tells franchisees to be ready for the full roll out in October, according to reports in the Wall Street Journal and Restaurant News.
McDonald's said the tests are ongoing.
"Serving all-day breakfast is likely the number one request we hear from McDonald's customers," said McDonald's spokeswoman Lisa McComb. "We're testing it out in a few markets to learn more about this possibility. We know your mouth is watering, but there's no news on this yet."
The fast food chain typically stops serving McMuffins, hash browns and hot cakes at 10:30 a.m., though the cap on the breakfast menu varies from restaurant to restaurant.
McDonald's is going all out to turn around slumping sales. Its restaurants are grappling with slumping traffic and stiff competition.
Steve Easterbook, who took over as CEO in late January, has promised to improve McDonald's food. He laid out a turnaround vision in May, saying the company will experiment with new sandwiches and changes to how customers order.

Bates County Sheriffs Office: Suicidal Subject

| John E. Jackson |
On July 18, 2015 Bates County Sheriff's Office Deputies were dispatched back to the Sheriff's Office in regards to a suicidal male subject who had just entered the lobby. Dispatch had just received a call from Bates County Memorial Hospital stating that this subject had just left the hospital against their medical advice. Someone from the hospital witnessed this subject take a hand full of pills in the hospital's parking lot and then he drove off.
Once the Deputy made contact with the subject, who was identified as John Edwin Jackson, they noticed he showed indicators of being under the influence of a substance. Mr. Jackson was very fidgety and appeared to be slightly confused. He admitted to the Deputy that he had just taken methadone. Mr. Jackson gave the Deputy consent to search his vehicle that was located in the west parking lot of the Sheriff's Office. During the search of his vehicle, the Deputy found approximately 9.5 grams of a white crystal substance that field tested positive for Methamphetamine. The Deputy also found bottles that contained Lisionpril, Methadone and Oxycodone. The Deputy was unable to read Jackson's name on the medicine bottle. Under the front seat of Jackson's vehicle, the Deputy located a 9mm hand gun that was loaded. There was also a rifle in the back floor board that had a bullet loaded in the chamber.
The Deputy took Jackson into custody. John Edwin Jackson was charged with Possession of a Controlled Substance, which is a Class C Felony. His bond was set at $10,000.00 cash or surety.
