Investigators with the Alexander County Sheriff’s Office have arrested a man they say moved without registering as a sex offender.

Lee Earnest Williams, 31, of Gastonia was registered as a sex offender in Alexander County. However, deputies said, Williams was not living in Alexander County.

After investigators learned that he was living in Gaston County, a warrant was issued for him for failing to register as a sex offender. Gaston County officials arrested Williams, and he is currently being held under a $210,500 secured bond. 

His first court appearance is April 30. Iredell County Sheriff’s Office and Gaston County Sheriff’s Office have warrants for failing to register in their jurisdictions.

Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina is hoping the public can help them click their way to a grant from Walmart by voting for them in the "Fighting Hunger Together" initiative.

This initiative is a national campaign where money is awarded to programs that get the most votes for their innovative and effective programs that help alleviate child hunger. The public will decide what organization will receive the grants through a voting campaign at www.facebook.com/walmart that includes more than 300 different hunger relief organizations from across the country.

The more votes a Feeding America food bank or partner agency gets, the better chances they have of winning the money.

The campaign kicked off April 1, and ends 11:59 pm ET on April 30.

CHARLOTTE, NC (WBTV)- You're next online purchase could cost you more than you're used to.

A bill making its way through the Senate will make tax free shopping on the Internet a thing of the past, if that bill continues to receive the same swell of support it got Monday, when the Senate voted 74 to 20 to take up the bill.

The National Retail Federation is also standing behind the change. The group says it would even the playing field between brick and mortar stores and their online competition.

The proposal would require Internet retailers to tax you, and the sales tax would be sent to the state where a shopper lives.

But opponents say states are being greedy, and that the bill is just another way for lawmakers to raise your taxes.

Currently, states can only require online stores to collect sales taxes if the store has a physical presence in the state.
