Highlights from Atlanta, Hotbed of Crime
At Lenox Square mall, a man walked into a department store, grabbed a Girbaud suit, rolled it up and walked out of the store. Two security guards chased him, but he got away. A few minutes later, the man walked back into the same store. Now he was wearing the suit that he had just stolen. Security guards stopped him. The man took off the suit and ripped it up. Then, he poured ketchup, mustard and mayonnaise on the suit. Again, the man left the store. This time, security guards caught him.
A man on Berne Street said a woman age 35-40 is calling his home night and day. The man said the woman is having an affair with his mother. The woman feels that he is trying to break up the affair between his mother and herself. The woman has called the man before, and she's not supposed to contact him.
A 37-year-old woman on Sharondale Road in Garden Hills said she heard a noise inside her home and thought someone was trying to break in. After hearing the noise, she called 911. When an officer arrived, the woman realized the noise was not a burglar, but the sound of her daughter using the restroom.
In Midtown at North Avenue and Myrtle Street, a 64-year-old man was standing on the sidewalk with his penis exposed. The man was urinating. Police stopped the man. "Officer, I have heart trouble," the man said.
Police found a crack pipe in his front pocket.
