" The sixth case of rabies this year has been confirmed in New Hanover County.

According to Mark Boyer with New Hanover County, a raccoon tested positive for the rabies virus after the animal fought with two pet dogs. Animal Control Officers were called to a Johns Creek Road residence earlier this week.
