Something you don't see very often – a Cleveland, Ga., man arrested for taking highway safety into his own hands. From AccessWDUN:
Hamilton was charged with interference with government property and was booked in at the White County Detention Center, Walden said. He was released on bail Sunday afternoon.
On Sunday, March 16, 16-year-old Cecily Mcree Hamilton and 18-year-old Taylor Swing, both of Cleveland, died when their car left Gene Nix Road and plunged into Town Creek. There were no approach guardrails in place at the time of the crash.
Shannon Hamilton's son, Kale Hamilton, has posted a video of his dad's arrest on Facebook.
