    2-16-26: Will Jail North Reopen?

    Tune in here to this ​Monday edition of Breaking With Brett Jensen! Breaking Brett Jensen discusses a major local issue that continues to generate debate: the closure of Jail North, Mecklenburg County’s former juvenile detention center in Huntersville.

    Tune in here to this ​Friday edition of Breaking With Brett Jensen!

Later, Jensen speaks with U.S. Rep. Tim Moore about his campaign experience and his approach to his re-election bid.

Allen Chesser, who represents part of Nash County. Chesser reflects on the now-viral moment during the House Oversight Committee hearing Monday, when he asked Mecklenburg County Sheriff Gary McFadden which branch of government he belongs to.

    2-11-26: Arrest Order For Meck Commish

    Tune in here to this ​Wednesday edition of Breaking With Brett Jensen! Breaking Brett Jensen kicks off the show by outlining a situation involving Mecklenburg County Commissioner Yvette Townsend-Ingram. According to Jensen, an order for her arrest was issued Feb. 5, 2025, stemming from her failure to comply with court requirements related to a 2024 arrest in Gaston County for driving while impaired. Once Ingram pleaded guilty, she was given three months to complete 24 hours of community service. However, Jensen reports that she did not complete the required community service, which led to the order for her arrest. Jensen then speaks with Gaston County District Attorney Travis Page to clarify the legal situation. Page confirms that she was convicted of DWI in Gaston County and says his office treats DWI offenses seriously. He underscores that Ingram’s status as a county commissioner does not afford her special treatment. Listen here for all of this and more on Breaking With Brett Jensen.
