RMR thanks you all for your support over the past year.  It has been a year of transition for many of our artists - marriage, new day jobs, relocation, more babies - and we appreciate your continued support as we try to do what we love to do: make music, videos and movies, drink heavily, and show you a good time!

Happy and prosperous 2010.  Keep checking the site for more shows in DC, Baltimore, and our fair city, NYC, as well as more video fun in the coming year!

Sincerely,
Jack Lords, Red Datsun, Conjen, P.I.C, DJ Un-g, Mark Concerto and the whole Riding Mower Records family

Police arrest 3 after riding mower falls out of minivan

Monday, October 27
Staff Reports
WINSTON-SALEM — A lawnmower that fell out of a minivan led police to stolen garden items valued at more than $22,000.

Winston-Salem police said they saw three people trying to steal a riding mower from the Sears store at 100 Hanes Mall Boulevard at 6:38 a.m. Sunday. As officers approached, a Dodge Caravan minivan drove off, and a riding mower fell out of the back.

Police later stopped the van on South Stratford Road near Interstate 40 and arrested three people.

After further investigation, police said that the three suspects were involved in numerous other thefts of landscaping materials and equipment from other people and businesses. Police searched 608 Terrace Avenue and found these items:

* 3 lawnmowers (two riding and one walk-behind)
* 3 mopeds
* several tillers, edge trimmers and weed trimmers
* 65 landscaping plants
* 89 bags of bark mulch
* 41 decorative flower plant pots
* 31 bags of decorative rocks

Three suspects were later charged with felony larceny and possession of burglary tools. They are: Lisa Farmer Woodlard, 47 of 3019 Gilbert St. in Winston-Salem; David Ronnell Peterson, 35, of 960 Sportsman Drive in Walkertown; and Alphonzo Dennard Galloway, 38, of 930 N. Patterson Ave. in Winston-Salem. Bond information was not immediately available.

Police said they expect to file additional charges.
