This holiday, let's all thank our law enforcement officers for dealing with this stuff.
It's holiday season, but that doesn't slow down unusual criminal behavior. Snatching, shouting and shooting continue. A man asked another man if he could borrow his bike at a Sonic drive-in in unincorporated Norcross. The bike owner said yes, and now there's a new bike owner. A television has a new owner after it was swiped from a church in Bogart. Somebody forced a door open at Bogart Christian Church and made off with a flat-screen TV. Another man in Norcross succeeded in a snatching, but he didn't get the bag he wanted. When he demanded a woman's purse, she gave him her lunchbox instead. So there is such a thing as a free lunch. An Athens employee found something he didn't like in his lunch -- a trace of cleaning agent in his water …
