State Rep. Don Calloway Jr., D-Bel Nor was charged with second-degree robbery after grabbing a district checkbook from a table and tossing it to someone when secretary Yolanda Fountain Henderson tried to grab it back. He said he was trying to read the name of the bank so he could ask a judge to freeze the severance payments approved Sunday afternoon at the emergency meeting of the The Northeast Fire District Sunday afternoon in Beverly Hills. The board voted to approve severance agreements with the board's attorneys Elbert Walton Jr. and Bernard Edwards Jr. and Fire Chief Joe L. Washington. The severance totaled more than $730,000.
