Julie Norman of the probation service told the court that Evans, 31, had previously been sentenced to 16 weeks in prison, suspended for 12 months, following a conviction for driving while disqualified and without insurance in November 2016. The court heard that a warrant was issued for Evans’ arrest when he failed to keep in contact with his supervising officer. Mrs Norman added that Evans’ whereabouts had been unknown for 17 months.

5-year-old brings cheer to neighbors with flower deliveries - The Bellingham Herald

"Maybe there's a Christmas elf in Stratford," read one of many more comments thanking Lilly for the delivery. Lynn read the comments to her daughter, who she said doesn't look for any recognition or reward for her efforts. "She is just a very loving, giving child," she said of Lilly, who enjoys crafts, dance class and going for walks in the neighborhood where she's quickly becoming a celebri... https://www.bellinghamherald.com/news/business/national-business/article222521970.html
