News Lunch Break (11/10/16): Elementary teacher arrested on child porn charges; two arrested in Trump protests overnight

Posted By on Thu, Nov 10, 2016 at 11:30 AM

  • Benjamin McMiller
Police this morning announced the arrest of a music teacher at Oakdale Elementary School on charges related to the streaming of child pornography videos. According to a release, police received an online tip in late October that someone in Charlotte was viewing child pornography, and later identified the man as Benjamin McMiller, music teacher at Oakdale Elementary.

Detectives went to McMiller's home during the investigation and seized evidence, and yesterday, McMiller voluntarily went to CMPD headquarters for an interview, during which he admitted to streaming videos. He was then arrested and charged with third-degree sexual exploitation of a minor and one count of second-degree sexual exploitation of a minor.

Following a day in which thousands of high school and college students walked out of classrooms, oftentimes with their teachers, to protest the election of Donald Trump as president, people of all ages hit the streets last night in the tens of thousands to protest Trump's election in some of the country's largest cities.


According to the Charlotte Uprising Twitter account, two protesters were arrested during Trump protests in Charlotte late last night. Charlotte Uprising organizers said Dhruv Mazumdar and Lexa Rice were taken into custody. Protesters met at Marshall Park at around 11:30 p.m. and eventually marched to the Epicentre, although it's unclear when the two were arrested. CMPD Maj. Gerald Smith said at a press conference this morning that the two were arrested for refusing to leave the roadway.

Police announced King's arrest early this morning.

Where We Stand: Poll results, concessions and not-so-concessions

Posted By on Wed, Nov 9, 2016 at 1:49 PM


As even those living under rocks now know, Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton suffered a stunning defeat in last night's presidential election to Republican nominee Donald Trump.

Clinton, who lost the election despite winning the popular vote, put off the usual Tuesday night concession speech until just before noon this morning. She apologized to her followers for not winning the election and spoke emotionally to the girls who had looked to her to break "the highest and hardest glass ceiling" in becoming the first female president of the United States.

"And to all the little girls who are watching this, never doubt that you are valuable and powerful and deserving of every chance and opportunity in the world to pursue and to achieve your own dreams," Clinton said.

She also urged her followers to support a peaceful transfer of power, stating that Trump deserves "an open mind and a chance to lead," adding that she hopes he will be a "successful president for all Americans," an idea many see as doubtful following a divisive campaign during which Trump denigrated America's immigrant community and proposed nationalizing New York City's abhorred "stop-and-frisk" policy as a way to "help" the Black community.
