We can't say for sure what this couple was thinking, but it does go to show you that people will do anything, anywhere and at anytime. 2. Rude Road Ways So, it seems OK that someone would want to fix his undone pants. Natural, right? Doing it in the middle of the road? Well, we think that's just plain rude. Someone could have had an accident while this guy was wiggling beneath his waistband. 3. Yep, This Happened If your boyfriend keeps pecking away on his laptop while you get robbed, do you keep him as your boyfriend? There's only one right answer, so don't …

One word — bizarre: A man standing in front of a paint store in Lilburn pulled his pants down and told police to "come and get it.” But that was tame compared the rest of his bizarre behavior. Before police arrived, the man, an employee at the store, made strong sexual advances to another male employee, who put him in a headlock and sent him outside. Once outside, the man took off his clothes, pushed certain body parts against the store window, and made pelvic thrusting gestures. When police arrived, he punched and kicked one of the officers before being tasered — twice. 2. Backyard flasher: Here’s something that will be hard to forget for a Winder-area homeowner — a 31-year-old man …

He said he didn’t steal them all, but did admit to stealing three fire pits from a Kroger in Lilburn, tools from Ace Hardware in Lawrenceville, a DVD player from the Walmart in Lilburn and four cameras from a CVS in Lilburn. In case fans of the TV reality show “Pawn Stars” are wondering, his name isn’t Chumlee. 2.

A look at top stories from Patch sites across Georgia.
Commission Looking for Ways to Keep County Funds From Going to Illegal Immigrants - Smyrna-Vinings Patch After a 3-2 vote in February against the IMAGE Certification Program -- a proposed code change that supporters say would ensure jobs paid for with taxpayer dollars go to legal U.S. citizens -- the Cobb Board of Commissioners is considering ways to stop county funds from going to illegal immigrants. Discussion led by District 1 Commissioner Helen Goreham on forming a committee to study illegal immigrants is expected to be on the agenda for the next board meeting.

Click on the links below for more info on each story. 1. Can you start the car we’re stealing? A Snellville man, who was cleaning out his deceased father’s home in unincorporated Stone Mountain, was robbed and carjacked by armed men in the driveway. But the car wouldn't start without help from the victim, so the men made him get it running before they drove away. With the help of a witness, DeKalb County Police apprehended the suspects a short time later. 2. ‘Please and thank you,’ says robber: An armed robbery suspect at least was polite when he tried to rob a Norcross-area check-cashing business of $300. He handed an employee a note that read, "I would like to withdraw $300 from your register." It wasn’t a joke, considering the large …

Click on the links below for more information. 1. A raw deal: A Norcross man told police that his iPhone was stolen while he was dealing a hand of poker at Stars and Strikes in Dacula. When he looked away from the table, he saw the phone was gone. But he’s pretty sure he knows who swiped it. Someone tried to sell the phone to one of the man’s friends, saying he found it at Stars and Stripes. 2. Woman bites man: A Tucker-area woman suspected of injecting the drug oxycodone argued with her husband while he drove, so she bit him on the arm. When he jerked his arm away, the force yanked out one of her teeth. She was found with syringes and hypodermic needles, and told police she was an addict. 3. Littering, the gateway crime: A Gwinnett County…

Click on the links below for more information. 1. Smells like a lie: After a recent traffic accident, a Winder man told police that the odor emanating from him wasn’t alcohol — it was hand sanitizer, he said.

He got all of that one: A University of Georgia student awaken by an intruder grabbed a 7-iron golf club from his closet and teed off on the suspect’s back. The intruder got away, but the shaft of the golf club was ruined. 3.

Here's what police officers around Northeast Georgia were up against recently
Click on the links below for more information. Eating the Evidence: A man pulled over for suspicion of DUI by a Loganville Police Department officer was seen chewing on a green leafy substance. Wonder what that was? The suspect refused to open his mouth and continually turned away from the officer's eyes, but he still got pinched for drug possession. The officer found a bundle of white pills hidden in the man’s underwear. Nicotine Fits: They say cigarettes are like money in jail, which is exactly where three people found themselves after a dispute over some missing smokes. A Winder man didn’t have proof that a Dacula man he knew had taken some of his cigarettes, so he did what he thought was logical — he took the man’s guitar and put it in…

When some people are after you, resisting is a good idea. An Athens man smacked an intruder with a baseball bat after the guy kicked his door in, and the guy ran away with his door-kicking friends. A woman in Norcross beat back a man who sprayed her with pepper spray and then tried to choke her while she cleaned a hotel room. Her quick thinking helped get her to safety. But when the police are after you, resisting generally leads to more trouble. A Barrow County man whose dogs attacked officers trying to arrest him lost his dogs in that exchange. Running from the police might also lead you to end up in a tree with a deputized dog on your tail, which is what happened to a possible burglary suspect in Oconee County. It's better, if you're …
