The headline to a story published in the print version of Ashe
Mountain Times March 14 incorrectly states the plea of a man, James Colton Ray Eldreth, 22, of
West Jefferson. As the story correctly reports, Eldreth pleaded not guilty to the charges of
statutory rape and other sex offense charges during Ashe County Superior Court on
Tuesday.
