The Hampton Police Department is investigating an armed robbery that occurred in the Town of Hampton early Friday morning.
Police say that two unknown armed black males robbed 40-year-old Charles Williams around 3:40 a.m. as he was returning from work to his 413 Wade Hampton Road residence. Police say the suspects stole about $600 in cash and fled into a nearby wooded area.
More details will be posted as they become available, and read more on this story in Thursday's Guardian.

After recent budget cuts and the certain threat of future budget cuts expected from the state, the Hampton School District Two board decided to cut 50 positions after meeting with Superintendent Dr. Deonia Simmons to hear his recommendations last Monday. These cuts will be for the 2010-11 school year.
"We are looking at reducing 50 staff persons from the district office all the way down to the school," said Simmons in an interview on Tuesday.
This is after a March 9 budget workshop with the board where it became evident that the cuts would have to come from somewhere.
