Old-time fiddler Blind Ed Haley, who frequented this area to play music with the oldtimers in the 1920s and 1930s, wrote a song about the area called "Don't Go Up Stinson After Dark."

A Calhoun deputy sheriff looking to serve a warrant on a male on Stinson-Mud Fork off State Rt. 16, reported that a subject on a four-wheeler likely fired a gun while fleeing to a hillside.

The incident was happening near Starcher Park about 9 p.m. Saturday.

State Trooper J. B. Hunt was responding to the scene with other officers from the Clay Detachment.

Late Saturday night, it appeared that officers decided to stand down.
