GREENSBORO — Military records from a breakaway Serb republic will likely be allowed in the trial of three High Point men accused of lying on their immigration forms, a federal judge said Wednesday.

Carlton Tilley said he was inclined to allow army records from the Republic of Srpska — one of three warring factions in the Bosnian War from 1992 to 1995 — to be used as evidence in the trials of three Bosnian Serb refugees later this month. Milovjie Jankovic , Veselin Vidacak , and Ugljesa Pantic are all facing criminal charges of lying on immigration...

illegal migration

The government accused Pantic of leaving his involvement in the Zvornik Brigade of the Army of the Republic of Srpska off his immigration forms when asked about military service. The Zvornik Brigade was responsible for the massacre of thousands of Muslims in July 1995. Pantic maintained that he was not a soldier and that his duties only included tasks such as digging canals and splitting wood. He now faces an uncertain future that goes well beyond whatever sentence he receives. Pantic, who arrived in the United States with his wife and two children in 1997, will face a deportation process, said his attorney, Krispen...

A Guilford County judge sentenced Christian Kozloski to 15 months to 18 months in prison Wednesday for negligently causing his mother's death. Kozloski had faced more than four years in prison, but Superior Court Judge Ronald Spivey said he believed Christian Kozloski didn't mean to kill his mother.

Spivey imposed an additional suspended sentence of 15...

GREENSBORO — Sasa Pantic couldn’t believe the call from his mother. It was in December. Federal agents were at his parents’ home to arrest his father, Ugljesa Pantic , and search their house. The family had no idea he was even being investigated. “We’ve been here for 10 years, he’s never been arrested before,” Sasa Pantic said this week. “He’s a good man. I’m not saying that just because he’s my dad. He doesn’t drink. He doesn’t smoke. As soon as he gets out, he wants to go back to work.” Two other families had already experienced similar fears and confusion in the...

A man charged with driving drunk, crashing into a limousine and killing three women in 2003 is blaming the deaths on a faulty fuel tank. The force of the crash did not kill the women, defense attorney Krispen Culbertson argues in court filings. It was the gas tank's improper placement on the limousine - among other issues - that caused the vehicle to explode on impact, igniting a fire that killed the trio, he contends.Jurors likely will hear this defense as Culbertson's client goes on trial Monday on charges of murder. Jeffrey Niles McFayden, 36, is accused of killing Cornelius resident Tara...
