Nellie B Housing..... Our taxes AGAIN paying for these and MANY other criminals.

Sounds like he IS one of the dangerous friends.

In the year 2013 what on earth makes people think they can get away with bank heists anymore? Oh wait... I shouldn't have used the word "think"...

sounds like aggravated assault.

[quote][b]TeeWee[/b] - @FairFacts:
In order for the "hot pursuit" doctrine to apply a crime must have been committed in the presence of the officer. What was the crime? There is no crime entitled "being a known drug dealer". here is no crime entitled "Suspicion". The guy ran into the apartment but is that a crime? Perhaps he had diarrhea. Perhaps someone called him. Who did make that call? Police must have a warrant in this case. The Constitution must prevail over an illegal police action. What good are the protections under the constitution is government pay no attention to them?

You must have missed the part of the report where it stated that he was barred from the property... Which means the drug dealer was committing the crime of criminal trespass.

I saw today that this KIZZY was arrested AGAIN on battery charges, cruelty to children charges, and disorderly conduct charges. I'm assuming it's related to this...

Can we get a follow up?

Thanks for following up!

Sounds like the drug dealer knows he's wanted now and will be laying low and/or not holding any contraband.... so he still gets away with the felony. All this does is reinforce the incentive to RUN FROM THE POLICE.

Not when under hot pursuit. It's obstruction.

Sounds like Athens liberal decision making trumped this hot pursuit. Drug dealer gets away again.

PROTIP: If you are going to commit a crime in the already liberal Athens area, do it downtown. Battery, obstruction, or tampering with government property? No No No! Disorderly conduct or public intoxication! Gotta keep the downtown IMAGE as clean as possible, right?

Good work officer.
I can't believe the only charge is public intoxication.

[quote][b]CharlotteLadyGardner[/b] - Tolbert Lee Stanley has been committing burglaries in Athens since 1993, according to court records.
Lock him up again and when he gets out don't let him back in Clarke County! [/quote]

Records show that the man was JUST released from prison for BURGLARY.....

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA justice...

@10-8 10-41:

[quote][b]10-8 10-41[/b] - OK. This does not make sense. Am I the only one who noticed it? Powell stole the necklace and was still in the store fighting with the victim upon Sgt. Pulliam's arrival. The article states that "Pulliam separated the combatants upon his arrival, and while dealing with Powell, the victim got into the suspect’s car" AND "Police said the reason the victim got into Powell’s car was not to get a weapon, but to retrieve the necklace that was stolen from him". When did Powell have time to put the necklace in the car??? He was still fighting with the victim when Pulliam arrived.

I would read the full Police report before jumping to any conclusions from a paraphrased blotter bit.

And we call these criminals "students".

Got arrested by the Postal Service. ZING

All the ACC thugs know that pleading not guilty for most crimes committed results in a free pass (the DAs office "declining to prosecute" due to cost inefficiency of a trial vs making it go away)... But I cant imagine the DAs office sweeping a murder case under the rug.

Something tells me these man-children are in for a wake up call in the form of "25 to life".

"Or because they fear being sued or fired or accused of murder. Why do we do this to them?"

"@solidroque: Some people seem to have a very short memory of how an officer in Athens is treated after he or she uses his or her weapon in a deadly confrontation."

THIS.

Another robbery in a known low income/high crime apartment complex...

Police had to have towed the car right? Then one can assume that it was also searched. Gotta inventory it right?

I'm honestly surprised he went all the way to Athens Gardens to peddle his wares if he already lives on Nellie B Ave.

Congratulations. Its about time to clean up the Triangle plaza AGAIN!

Let's take some quick bets on when the next gun related crime will occur in the area.

...and (sadly) will probably be back in the same classroom by Monday.

I don't know if I would consider Ombudsman a school. It's really more of a holding cell until the "juvenile delinquents" age out into adult criminals.

@tbirds: I'm a long time Athenian, an informed citizen, and an aware member of society.

Wow, not bad. That's twice this week 524 Vine St has made the blotter. Sounds like all this warm weather is making for a good show over at the Triangle Plaza.
