34-year-old Joshua A. Moore, of Axton, Virginia, was sentenced on April 26, 2024 to ten years in prison for the felony offense of conspiracy. He will need to spend two years and six months in prison before becoming eligible for parole.

A member of the Fayetteville Police Department held a traffic stop on a car on July 21, 2022. The car was going 64 mph in a 50 mph zone on U.S. Route 19.

The car was driven by Moore, and the officer noticed drug paraphernalia in the console once they were at the car, as well as two passengers, Tommy J. Strothers and Jessica L. Roop.

Porsche invests in battery startup South 8 to boost cold-weather EV performance
All cars suffer when the mercury drops, but electric vehicles suffer more than most as heaters draw more power and batteries charge more slowly as the liquid electrolyte inside thickens. Drivers in Chicago found this out the hard way last January after many Teslas failed to charge during a deep freeze. One startup, South 8 Technologies, says it can make cold-weather charging more reliable by filling batteries with a pressurized, liquified gas electrolyte instead of a liquid one.
