Shootout on the creek: Woman told co-workers to watch out for her ex

(By Laura Graff, Winston-Salem Journal) - Monte Denard Evans went to the Bojangles' restaurant on Peters Creek Parkway yesterday morning to talk to his former wife, whom he had been charged with abusing.

Sometime during that talk, it all went wrong, and what followed left two Winston-Salem police officers shot and wounded, and Evans shot to death.

Sgt. Mickey Hutchens, 50, a patrol supervisor and 27-year veteran of the Winston-Salem Police Department, was in critical but stable condition at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center.

Officer Daniel Clark, 28, who has served on the force for five years, was in serious condition there.
