Beer, and lots of it, to go
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Employees of a State Bridge Road bar reported about 15 beer containers were stolen by a man in beige Lincoln Continental.
The man cut a heavy cable and loaded the containers into his car. Several other businesses in this area have had similar thefts.
It’s just a video game, guys
Officers were called to the scene of a person injured on Northwood Drive. The victim said that he confronted a man whom he suspected of stealing his PlayStation video game system.
The suspect allegedly hit the man in the face with a chain. The suspect denied this, saying he had been assaulted by the other and defended himself. The officers did not find the chain.
Both were charged and are to appear at 2 p.m. on Dec. 12 for a preliminary hearing.
Rassling yields burglary suspects
A resident heard noises in her North Spalding Lake Drive garage and went to investigate. She saw three men, who promptly ran off. When officers arrived, they found enough footprints around to believe the suspects were still in the area. They were notified by another victim that he could see the suspects walking down the street.
The three were arrested after a foot chase and some rassling around on the ground. The suspects had been going through cars in the subdivision and had some items still on them. All three were charged with burglary, possession of tools to commit a crime, felony obstruction and several counts of entering an auto.
One was a juvenile and was released to his mother. The other two went to jail. It appears they used the juvenile as a lookout while going through about four cars. One of the officers did sustain an injury to his arm and wrist during the scuffle.
