The Fox drama moved its drama "Sleepy Hollow" from North Carolina to metro Atlanta this season because our neighbor cut back its tax credits. Conyers is the primary home for "Sleepy Hollow."
Unfortunately, real-life drama occurred last week in Conyers. Multiple assailants attacked a a female security guard watching the set on July 21, dumped her in her own vehicle's trunk and forced her to commit sex acts on one of the men, according to the Rockdale News.
Good news: three teens were arrested less than 48 hours after the incident occurred. The trio's names are Duwayne Fleeting, 15, Jarius Shorter, 15, and Justin Kohn, 17.
The crime started at 1 a.m. that morning. She was sitting in her 2007 BMW on Main Street in Conyers guarding the set of "Sleepy Hollow." Three black males came up to her, one with a gun, and told her to get out of the vehicle.
According to the police report, she "begged the first male not to kill her and told him to 'take whatever you want, just don't kill me.' " Instead, they had her open her trunk and told her to get in while pointing a handgun to her head. She complied after initial protests.
WARNING: This next paragraph gets a bit graphic.
At a later spot, she saw two more men, the police report said. They later ordered her out of the car in a secluded area and the trio ordered her to strip down, use an adult toy and urinate. She was also forced to pleasure one of the teens. After a trip to a McDonald's drive thru, where they gave her a Sprite, she ended up at a residence, she told the police.
Later, still in her trunk, she smelled pot smoke in her car. They pulled her vehicle over in a wooded area where she said one of the guys took her MacBook, her cell phone and a debit card. He demanded all her passwords, then "ransacked her car and also took her birth certificate and military documents."
They also forced her to withdraw money from an ATM. They eventually released her and she reported the crime to the police. According to the Rockdale News, "tips from the public viewing photos of the suspects at the ATM aided police in identifying the suspects."
Also, according to Deadline:
In a separate incident, a female Sleepy Hollow camera assistant broke her ankle Monday during production when a heavy piece of equipment rolled over her foot. She was taken to the hospital and is now recovering, and "production resumed after the incident," a company spokesman said today.

Jon Stewart has just six more shows left on "The Daily Show." On last night's show, he answered questions from Twitter viewers. He was asked his favorite guest and Georgia's Jimmy Carter made the cut. There is also yet another yummy joke about Atlanta-based Arby's just because... he can never get enough of that!
