BY JAMES SWIFT [email protected]

Bond was set at $100,000 in Bartow Superior Court Tuesday for an Adairsville man accused earlier this year of committing rape and child molestation. Matthew Merritt Wilcox, 44, was booked into the Bartow County Jail on Oct. 3. “Mr. Wilcox’s former step- daughter disclosed about five years ago when she was 7 that she had been raped by her then-stepfather,” said public defender Jen- nifer Block. “She was taken for a forensic interview where she began to disclose the situation, and judge, just based on the testimony from that preliminary hearing and some evidence I’ve been able to obtain in the meantime, I have some serious questions about this case and feel that this case needs a trial, and it needs a trial soon.” Block asked Cherokee Judicial Circuit Judge David K. Smith to set bond at $20,000. “I understand these allegations are very serious, we are fine with any conditions that the court wants ... ankle monitor, no contact with the victim, obviously,” she said. Block recounted Wilcox’s crim- inal history. “Most of his record is basically bad checks, forgery and credit card fraud, things like that,” she said. “He did have an aggravated harassment, I believe, and menac- ing from 2000 in New York.” Cherokee Judicial Circuit Assis- tant District Attorney Elizabeth RANDY PARKER/THE DAILY TRIBUNE NEWS York said that since coming to NOTS Logistics, LLC Assistant General Manager Nick Barnett presents Dwayne Jamison, right, and Craig Millsap of the Bartow County Fire Department with a $5,000 check Thursday evening.

4A Friday, December 21, 2018 www.daily-tribune.com The Daily Tribune News Tobacco giant strides into vaping market with $13B Juul stake

BY MICHELLE CHAPMAN Associated Press

Altria, one of the world’s biggest tobacco companies, is spending nearly $13 billion to buy a huge stake in the vape company Juul as cigarette use continues to decline. The Marlboro maker said Thursday that it will take a 35 percent share of Juul, putting the value of the company at $38 billion, larger than Ford Motor Co., Delta Air Lines or the retail giant Target. “We are taking significant action to prepare for a future where adult smokers overwhelmingly choose non-combustible products over cigarettes,” Altria Chairman and CEO Howard Willard said in a prepared statement. E-cigarettes and other vaping devices have been sold in the U.S. since 2007 and have grown into a $6.6 billion business, and it is already intersecting with another seismic shift in the U.S. — the le- galization of marijuana across the U.S. J. SCOTT APPLEWHITE/AP The investment comes about two weeks after Altria stepped into Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I., left, and Sen.

The Daily Tribune News www.daily-tribune.com Friday, December 21, 2018 Bartow County football players earn all-region honors

STAFF REPORT The all-region teams for the Bartow County schools were recently released, and the Tigers, Colonels and Wildcats each had one senior first-team selection and several other honorees. Adairsville was led by Region 6-AAA first-team athlete Mason Boswell, who also earned honorable-mention recognition as a defensive back. Linebacker Rodney Richards made the first team for Region 7-AAAAA after a stellar season leading the Cass defense. Woodland defensive back Titus Jones joined Richards on the first- team defense after an outstanding final high school season. Boswell finished the year with 972 rushing yards and 406 pass- ing yards. He helped account for 15 total touchdowns. Defensively, Boswell had 48 tackles (35 solo) from his safety position. Richards totaled 109 tackles for the Colonels. He had 17 tackles for loss, six forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries. Playing at free safety, Jones racked up 102 tackles. He added five tackles for loss, two interceptions and six blocked kicks. He chipped in quite a bit offensively, too, averaging 8.4 yards per carry, averaging 22.8 yards per reception and totaling eight touchdowns. Senior defensive lineman Chandler Shankles and junior defensive back Savaun Henderson each garnered second-team recognition for the Tigers. Shankles had a monster year with 85 total tackles, six sacks and five quarterback hurries. Henderson finished with 62 tackles. Cass had three players land on the all-region second team — one each on offense, defense and special teams. Senior wide receiver Javen Bridges had 26 catches for 322 yards and four touchdowns in a run-first offense. Sophomore Zay Jackson made it as a defensive back, although he contributed on both side of the ball with 31 tackles, three interceptions and two fumble recoveries on defense and 418 rushing yards and five touchdowns on offense. Sophomore kicker Kaleb Speights converted 15 of 16 point-after tries and 4 of 5 field-goal attempts. Defensive lineman Nick Bailey and running back Justice Carter both appeared on the second team for Woodland. Bailey, a sophomore, produced 40 tackles, including six for loss, and had two fumble recoveries. Carter, a senior, wound up with 1,046 rushing yards, 190 receiving yards and eight total touchdowns. Each school placed several players on the honorable-mention lists. For Adairsville, Landon Ayers, Courtney Slocum, Malachi Gard- ner, Wade Conduff, Kyle Martin, Zach Ogle, Nic Jackson and, as mentioned before, Boswell earned honorable-mention status. Ayers had 271 rushing yards in six games; Slocum totaled 179 yards and three touchdowns; Gardner, who made the team as a wide receiver and linebacker, had 153 receiving yards and 52 tackles; Conduff had 17 catches for 197 yards; Martin finished with 60 tackles; Ogle chipped in with 54 tackles; and Jackson had 50 tackles in just seven games. Senior quarterback Rett Moore led the list of Cass honorable- mention selections. He had 678 rushing yards and seven touchdowns. Three offensive linemen joined him in Johnny Bootz, Drew Eddy and Dalton Southern.
