NEW HANOVER COUNTY, NC (FOX WILMINGTON) – You may know the feeling – the one where your heart sinks when the blue lights go on in your rearview mirror. Just about everyone who's spent time behind the wheel of a car has been pulled over by the cops.

We crunched the numbers and found out where you are most likely to get a ticket in the area. As you'll learn, in the world of driving, all towns are not created equal.

The Town of Burgaw only has about 3,800 residents, but officers there wrote more than 1,400 traffic tickets in 2012.

Based on population, it's one of the most likely places in the area to get a ticket.

"I see them out and about and stopping people, and writing tickets and all of that," said driver Diane Lee. "I think it's over the top."

Burgaw Police Sgt. Jason Godwin, however, disagrees with Lee. He says, "the more citations your write, the more people slow down and the more lives you save."

WILMINGTON, NC (WECT) – The developing story out of Cleveland involving three missing women who were found alive years after their disappearance, is providing hope to investigators, family and friends of those who have disappeared in our area.

Tristen Buddy Myers – Missing since Oct 5, 2000

Myers disappeared thirteen years ago from his home in Roseboro, NC. He was four-years-old at the time.

In interviews with WECT, Buddy's aunt told us she laid down to take a nap; she thought Buddy was sleeping too but he walked out of the house and down highway 24 with their two dogs.

Days later, the dogs returned, but Buddy never did.

There was hope for the family in 2003, when a boy meeting Buddy's description was abandoned at a hospital in Chicago. However, DNA tests showed the boy was not Buddy.

WHITEVILLE, NC (WECT)- What began as residents complaining about the increase of crime in their neighborhoods has grown into demanding a government building being moved.

Originally those who live in the Runny Mead, High Woods and Baldwin Woods neighborhoods feared that if the probation and parole office in Whiteville wasn't moved they would continue to be the victims of crime. Since the probation office relocated to its current location in Whiteville, multiple cars have been broken into and one man was mugged.

Now after further investigation, it appears the probation office is in violation of state laws that prohibit sex offenders from being within 300 feet of a school. On top of that, Jerry Hall, a developer in the Whiteville area, also claims the office doesn't meet North Carolina building codes, "It doesn't have an elevator to the second floor, and the building is not handicap accessible."
