But the used needles? That was nuts. “I found what appeared to be a condom and three hypodermic needles,” Murphy said. “In the past 18 years of living on the beach I’ve only seen a needle once before.

More than 100 applicants from around the state and as far away as New Hampshire have tossed their hats into the ring to become the new administrator of the Governor's Mansion. The position was posted on the Department of Finance and Administration's website in early May after longtime mansion administrator Donald J. Bingham retired. Ateca Williams, who is spearheading the search as deputy chief of staff of internal operations for Gov. Asa Hutchinson, said Friday no interviews have been set and she is carefully combing through the 114 resumes. "We are taking our time because we want to make a really good decision," Williams said. She and first lady Susan Hutchinson will conduct interviews. Filling Bingham's shoes will be nearly impossible, Williams added. He had served under Republican Gov. Asa Hutchinson since Jan. 11, 2015.
