A $5,000 secured bond was granted to 18-year-old Jacen Alexander Horne, of Bloxom, who is accused of carnal knowledge involving a 13 to 14-year-old, and two counts of rape, also involving a minor. According to court records, the incidents occurred on May 12, 2023. Horne was indicted on Dec. 4 and arrested the next day.

Twenty-nine-year-old Cheyenne T. Gobel, of North Street in Onancock, was given a suspended two-year term for stealing a gun belonging to Marcus Riley of Lankford Highway in Painter, and a 30-day suspended term for trespassing.
