♦ The Polls opened at 8 a.m. at the Rowan Public Library in Salisbury and the first in line was “Jailhouse” Jonny Barber, an ex-county commissioner, self-confessed alcoholic and convicted thief, who stole a bottle of cheap wine from a Rushco convenience store and who allegedly helped himself to a large volume of copies on the county government dime for his non-profit Mobile Farm Fresh. The one-man human misdemeanor crime wave and former cover boy for “Slammer” is managing to keep out of trouble.
