The massive spill of nearly 40,000 tons of coal ash into the Dan River promoted outrage and demands for action to protect the state's waterways.
It's been nearly a year since the Duke Energy Coal Ash spill was discovered in the Dan River near Eden. More than 39,000 tons of toxic sludge made its way into the river.
Police in Eden say a juvenile stole a police car, and then led officers on a chase before it all ended badly.
