The line for hot dogs backed up onto Route 460, and the rescue squad had trouble keeping up with the demand at times. “We had to call other businesses to see if they could donate weenies and buns," said Giles Rescue Squad Sergeant Amber Jones, who came up with the idea for the fundraiser. They don’t want a hot dog, they just want to show their support," said Freeman. "We try to get them to take a hot dog, and they don’t want one. They just came to give.”The rescue squad raised approximately $20,000 before the hot dog benefit, which means Freeman now has about $40,000 to find a new home.

ROANOKE, Va. - The Star City school bus saga continues. The company running the buses, Durham School Services, said a new tracking app will fully roll out Thursday, touting it as improved communication after months of issues. I want them to make it right, and I'm not going to stop until they get it right," Jones said. One way that Durham School Services is trying to do that is with a new tracking app that promises near real-time information at each stop. For Jones, the app is merely a distraction from the real issues, dating back to Durham's takeover this summer.

Read full article: CBD company now owns a big chunk of Jones Soda

Specialty soda maker Jones Soda Co. of Seattle, Washington, introduced a limited supply of Turkey & Gravy-flavored soda seen November 25, 2003, in Seattle Washington. It's more unusual for a cannabis company to, say, snap up a soda brand. In recent months, an emerging cannabis firm has quickly acquired a significant position in Jones Soda with an eye on bringing the wild child of soft drinks into CBD beverages. Late Thursday, Heavenly Rx, a hemp portfolio company of cannabis investment firm SOL Global Investments, invested $9 million to buy 15 million shares of Jones Soda, increasing its ownership stake in the Seattle soda company to 39% from under 15%. If Heavenly Rx takes that option in the next 12 months, it would own 51% of Jones.

An Alabama woman was indicted on a manslaughter charge after she was shot in the stomach, leading to the death of her unborn child, officials said. During the fight, Jemison, 23, shot Jones in the stomach, authorities said. Police reportedly later said Jemison shot Jones in self-defense after the pregnant woman initiated the argument. It was unclear Thursday if the policies signed into law last month criminalizing actions that endanger a fetus played a part in the charge Jones faces. This what 2019 looks like for a pregnant woman of color without means in a red state, NARAL Pro-Choice America President Ilyse Hogue said on Twitter.
