Kingsport Parks and Recreation is hosting a glow volleyball event February 17 at the V.O. Dobbins, Sr. Complex (301 Louis Street).
Glow events are when participants wear neon or white clothes, the lights to a gym are turned off and the black lights are turned on. Everyone then “glows” in the dark while running around and playing a game of volleyball.
The event is for people ages 14 and up and the cost is $5 per player. There will be three divisions of play based on skill levels.
“Glow volleyball has been one of our most successful events we’ve ever had,” said Program Administrator Rene Ensor. “It’s always just a fun night of volleyball play.” Registration will take place the day of the event. For more information call 423-224-2489 or visit www.kingsportparksandrecreation.org.

| GENERAL NARRATIVE | ||||
| Update: The Dodge van stolen from Holy Mountain Baptist Church has been successfully recovered; however, Detectives are still attempting to identify the suspect responsible.
As previously released: On the evening of February 7, 2023 a van belonging to Holy Mountain Baptist Church, located at 3121 Ashley Street in Kingsport was reported stolen from the church property. The van had been left locked and the key had been securely stored. A review of surveillance video footage revealed that the van was stolen earlier that same day between the hours 4:30 and 5:00 PM. A white male suspect could be observed using burglary tools to break into and steal the van. The van is a light blue 1993 Dodge Full-size 15 passenger van. When it was stolen, it displayed TN license plate 461BGCH on the rear and a custom tag reading “Holy Mountain Baptist Church” on the front. Obviously those tags could have easily been removed and/or replaced following the theft. Photos of the suspect and the stolen van have been included in this release. Anyone who might recognize the suspect, know where the stolen van can be located, or have any additional information that may help with the investigation, is asked to contact Detectives in the K.P.D. Criminal Investigations Division at 423-229-9429 or call Kingsport Central Dispatch at 423-246-9111.
