Oxford police arrest man involved in North Carolina kidnapping
OXFORD, Ala. (WBRC) – Oxford police say they arrested a man accused of abducting a 16-year-old girl from North Carolina. Investigators say the man and the teen are second cousins and knew one another.
On Friday, May 3, the Oxford Police Department were notified by the sheriff’s office in North Carolina about a 33-year-old man named Richard Maybach, who had potentially abducted a 16-year-old girl from the area.
“The information we received again from Cabarrus County was that they were traveling in a rented white BMW SUV, they had a Nevada tag which officers were able to locate,” says Sgt. Butler.
While on patrol, Oxford investigators say Maybach vehicle was spotted at a local motel on South Quintard Avenue in the Oxford area.
“Officers were able to make contact with Mr. Maybach at a motel here in town, the Rodeway Inn. They were able to take him into custody and also secure the girl who was in good condition,” says Sgt. Butler.
Helping agencies in the North Carolina area, Sgt. Butler says law enforcement work together as part of a team, and that team stretches across the country.
“For law enforcement agencies to communicate with each other is vital for us to be successful in our rolls and our responsibilities in law enforcement by using different technologies and ways to communicate with one another, and be able to recover a missing juvenile potentially abducted from another state,” says Sgt. Butler.
Oxford investigators say the girl was sent to Children’s Hospital in Birmingham for evaluation and later picked up by her parents. Richard Maybach is waiting to be extradited back to North Carolina.

The North Carolina Tar Heels will be a young program across the board next season, with well over two dozen freshmen and numerous additions from the transfer portal this offseason. Expectations for the 2026 season are lowered dramatically after a disastrous first season for head coach Bill Belichick, though those expectations could help the Tar Heels fly under the radar.
As the Tar Heels approach the end of spring ball, it is time to look at the veterans of the team—the ones who have the experience to lead, especially on the defensive side of the ball. Let’s look at three underrated seniors for the 2026 football season.
Ade Willie, Cornerback
Willie joins the Tar Heels program after four years with Michigan State, as the former 4-star player in the 2022 recruiting class gets an opportunity to not only provide depth to the secondary, but potentially start Week 0 against TCU.
Willie played in over 30 games with the Spartans and brings experience in the secondary at cornerback and safety, along with quality length and closing speed to the football. For a defense that needs players to step up, the redshirt senior from IMG Academy will be asked to do so.
Isaiah Johnson, Defensive Lineman
The defensive line is beginning to look like one of the Tar Heels’ strengths for the 2026 season. Johnson, a former transfer from Arizona, enters his redshirt senior year looking to add another year of production after 40 tackles and two sacks this past season.
North Carolina has an impressive group of starters with Malkart Abou-Jaoude, Leroy Jackson, and incoming transfer Jaylen Harvey. Johnson adds value to the group as a run defender with the ability to penetrate the pocket. While not discussed as a key player, Johnson’s name will be used plenty during the regular season as a potential standout for the program’s defensive front.
Coleman Bryson, Safety
Bryson was a reserve player for the Tar Heels’ secondary last season as a big nickel defender in the rotation. Heading into his redshirt senior year, the former Minnesota Gopher is looking to become a full-time starter in the secondary.
It wasn’t long ago when Bryson was making plays as the 2022 Pinstripe Bowl Defensive MVP. His special teams abilities were valuable for North Carolina last season, and he flashed at times in coverage against tight ends, including a pass breakup in the season-opener against TCU. The Waynesville, North Carolina, native could be a key defender on the back-seven in 2026.

Virginia vs North Carolina pregame notes
UVA owns a 59-33 advantage since the series began in 1938.
The 59 wins are UVA’s most against any opponent in program history (followed by 51 against Duke).
In Chapel Hill last year, the Tar Heels defeated the Cavaliers 18-9, snapping UVA’s six-game series win streak.
UVA has won nine of the last 11 meetings, dating back to 2018.
The Hoos have won the last two meetings with Carolina at Klöckner Stadium, 11-4 in 2022 and 14-6 in 2024.
The Tar Heels’ four goals in 2022 marked the fewest goals in a game under Joe Breschi, who was named UNC’s head coach in 2006.
The last time the Tar Heels knocked off the Cavaliers at Klöckner was a 16-13 decision during the first of three games between the two teams in 2021.
Later that year, UVA claimed back-to-back meetings against the Heels, including in the NCAA semifinals on the way to capturing the 2021 national title over Maryland.
