A domestic disturbance on Sunday left a man dead and his stepson hospitalized with stab wounds. The Citrus County Sheriff's Office was called to a domestic disturbance at a Citrus Springs home just after 4pm on Sunday. When deputies arrived, they found 69 year old Harold Gene Brown deceased with multiple knife wounds. Michael Staton, Brown's 56 year old stepson had also suffered stab wounds, which required he be airlifted to Tampa General Hospital based on reports by the Sheriff's Office.
The Sheriff's Office reports that Brown's wife was also at the home, though investigators did not say who they believe to have stabbed whom. A homicide investigation is currently under way.

Supporting Local Small Businesses
We encourage you to look to local small businesses for your products and services, rather than using large chain stores and mass market companies. The benefits of shopping locally are tremendous: It helps keep money here in our community, building a stronger and better place to live and raise a family; It provides more jobs for our neighbors, as small businesses employ half of all private sector employees and generated 65% of new jobs in the last 15 years. (Source: U.S. Small Business Administration); It allows small business owners to reinvest in this community; and it is convenient and earth-friendly, saving the time and resources of traveling outside our county for the same goods and services.
When we face tough economic times, it benefits us all to spend our hard-earned money where it will do the most good for our community. By shopping with our own neighbors, we can help build a stronger future for Citrus County and its residents.

Stop Hunger Now - Crystal River Charity Event to Feed Children
Saturday, February 25th at 8:30 am, local organizations like the Rotary Clubs and Citrus-Hernando Inn of Court, along with local volunteers, will gather in the Crystal River High School Cafeteria to participate in a Stop Hunger Now meal packaging event.
The volunteers, which are expected to exceed 150 in number, will work together to package filling, nutrient-rich meals which will be sent to under-nourished school children around the world. Last year's event, chaired by Attorney Keith Taylor, saw over 100,000 meals packaged which were shipped by Stop Hunger Now, an international aid organization, to schools in Vietnam. He is excited to have the same level of success this year.
If you would like to get involved by volunteering your time, please contact our office and speak to Angela. The whole family is welcome. If you would like to donate, each meal costs only 25 cents, so even small donations can make a big difference for hungry children worldwide.
