VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — The Virginia Beach NAACP said it’s concerned with the circumstances around the death of a man who experienced a medical emergency shortly after being restrained at Virginia Beach Jail.
On June 4, Rolin Hill was arrested for trespassing at a 7-Eleven off of Brigands Way near Holland Road.

Hill was allegedly told to leave by a manager and Virginia Beach Police said he was offered a ride home on multiple occasions.

As Hill was taken into custody, authorities said he tried fighting with officers but some criminal justice reform groups questioned if Hill needed to be taken to jail.
“Like you said this was a trespassing charge so the question becomes could he have been released on his recognizance, given a court date, did he have to be incarcerated,” Kenneth Hunter, with Virginia Justice Alliance, said.
Rick James, a criminal justice professor and former Norfolk Police Detective, said trespassing is a misdemeanor charge where an officer can use their discretion on what happens next.

“Whether he wants to charge him for trespassing if he has a valid ID and release him or it can be a situation where the officer is taken before a magistrate and then the magistrate can determine if he can be released or held into custody,” James said.

Once Hill was at the jail, the sheriff’s office said he became uncooperative and combative, prompting deputies to restrain him.
Afterward, the sheriff’s office said Hill had a medical emergency and was taken to Sentara Princess Anne Hospital where he later died.
A spokesperson for the Virginia Beach Sheriff’s Office said they could not comment while the investigation continues.
The Virginia Beach NAACP is concerned about the circumstances surrounding the death of Hill.
We are deeply saddened to hear of the untimely death of Mr. Rolin Hill. We are further concerned about with the circumstances surrounding his death.

Dr. Eric Majette, VBNAACP President, said he understands VSP is currently conducting and investigating into the death of Mr.Hill.
The organization will wait to make further statements until the fact finding concludes.
RICHMOND, Va. — J’Ana Price published her first book at age 5. Now 11, she has more than 50 titles to her name and a platform aimed at getting kids excited about reading and writing.
Price appeared at the Chickahominy River Women Chapter SocieTea Talent Showcase in Richmond, Virginia, where I had the chance to talk to her about about her work as an author.
She told me her father, who is also an author, inspired her to start writing. Her first book, “Finding Myself,” remains meaningful to her.

Her catalog spans inspirational and educational themes, all focused on encouraging young readers.
“I think it’s important because without reading, you basically got nothing,” Price said. “Reading is really good for your mind and comprehension.”
Price also spoke about the role imagination plays in reading.
“Your imagination is the most important thing that you have… and when you read a book, your imagination is activated,” Price said.
Through her platform, J’Ana’s Planet, she offers resources and guidance for young aspiring authors.

The developer of the Mountain Valley pipeline expansion plans to restart construction this week in Virginia after a federal appeals court opted not to halt that work as litigation plays out.
Mountain Valley informed the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission in a letter Wednesdaythat “it intends to resume work” on the MVP Southgate project for its Virginia facilities, notifying the agency on the same day the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals issued its orders.
The Southgate project, approved in its current form in December, is a 31-mile extension of the main Mountain Valley gas pipeline, which travels more than 300 miles from West Virginia into southern Virginia. The Southgate project, which would be operated by the gas producer EQT, is designed to provide gas to North Carolina utilities.

The court’s decision Wednesday is a positive step for Mountain Valley, which secured FERC permission in late March to launch construction in Virginia on the Southgate project. Mountain Valley had stopped all construction activity on Southgate after the 4th Circuit in late March issued orders that granted temporary administrative stays.
