On Wednesday, March 5, officers of the Fayetteville Police Department arrested three subjects in reference to an entering auto case at the Fayette Pavilion.

A customer was returning to her car from Ross Dress for Less, when she noticed a man standing near her car. As she got closer, the man walked away. When the customer got to her car she noticed that the window had been broken out, she called 911 and watched the man get into a car. As the suspect pulled out of a parking space the victim had to step away from his car to keep from being hit. The customer gave a description of the man and the car to 911. The Fayetteville Police Department was able to stop the car on Georgia Hwy 85 near Ellis Road in Fayetteville.

During the investigation items from the victim’s car were found along with numerous car stereos, stolen checks, and a stolen vehicle title. Some of the stolen items have been linked to entering auto cases in surrounding counties.

The Fayetteville Police Department is continuing to investigate the possible link of this incident and past entering auto cases in Fayetteville.

The persons arrested were: Bennie Desmond Reid, 26 years of age (YOA) of Cedartown, Ga., charged with Entering auto, Theft by receiving stolen property, and reckless driving, Marvin Thomas Jones, 17 YOA of Jonesboro, Ga., charged with Party to an entering auto and theft by receiving stolen property, and Graham Michael Wagner, 24 YOA of Jonesboro, Ga., charged with Party to an entering auto and theft by receiving stolen property.

from living in Jonesboro, I hope this case isn't closed.
Anyone that gets on here in Lakemont, I KNOW probably 10% or more of you have had things stolen out of your cars. And I also know, they weren't stolen by black kids. They were white teenagers living in Fayette county. Fayetteville isn't going to hell because of Riverdale, it's going to hell because of the people in it.

I have not shopped Fayetteville area in over a year because of the crime that has slowly creeped in from Riverdale. Give it a few more years, the Riverdale stench will be 100% in Fayette county.

To the Writing Professor - hope my comment passes your red pen inspection.

Good job on catching the perps. Imagine that all three of them from out of county. It is a shame that the dirtbags almost it the victims as they left the scene like the coward thieves that they are. Lets just hope they get prosecuted to the fullest extent and sent to a place where they receive room and board for a while courtesy of the state.

What is this business about "subjects" being arrested? You must have meant "suspects." In England, where the people are British subjects, it may make some sense to call citizens subjects, although that remains peculiar. But here in America, calling anybody a "subject" is absurd.

So the cops arrested three men. Just say so.

Now how about that business of writing "26 years of age (YOA)"? Wouldn't writing "age 26" be simpler and less pedantic? If a cop (or reporter) writes YOA instead of age, has he saved time and effort --there's three letters to write either way.

The Citizen should serve as a model of proper English usage in Fayette County. Work on it.

I think someone should mine their own BUSINESS.

Actually, it's "mind." A "mine" is a place where coal or other minerals are mined. Eye-wink

A mine is a vast empty space!
Some minds could be that also! Like yours.

When English becomes the official language of the land, you guys will be speechless!

Hello mapleleaf (sic).

Perhaps you meant to say "you folks" since we are not all guys.

Better yet, you may wish to say “you people” since we are not actually 'your folks’.

Then again, perhaps you should say “Youze Guys” since you prefer a northern dialect of the English language.

But, then again, you could just be terribly bored and in need of human interaction and so you have elected to begin a completely insignificant complaint about the local paper in hopes of receiving attention. (Pardon that shallow assumption, I have digressed from my intended utility.)

I suppose, although I doubt, that you could be an English teacher attempting to make yourself feel important by continuing your profession beyond your most productive years.

Regardless, I can imagine that you are annoyed by those who misspell words, publish subject-verb agreement errors, or are more ‘wordy’ than is necessary when intending to establish a point (like now). I can only imagine that even a dangling participle can create much malaise whenever you see one! Eye-wink

As a word smith of sorts, do you find yourself transposing terrible typos on a regular basis?

Have you lived in an area where publishers presented pleasantly perfect pronouncements?

I personally cannot perceive of a place where the common compilation of the English language is fittingly flawless and the occupants opining is consummately correct. Can you?

And if that's not bad enough we have to constantly have a battle of wits with the unarmed liberal version of Sybil! (I must admit however that it's great entertainment to harangue the mental midget formerly known as basmati!) Eye-wink

I wonder what happened to River? Hello? Gump? River? Allan?

Actually, my English teacher was Miss Grundy, at Riverdale High School. I used to hang around with Archie, Betty, Jughead, Veronica and the rest of the gang. Oops, I live in Fayette County and may have gotten myself in trouble by acknowledging my “gang" affiliation. Scott, please overlook that and forgive me. My bad. Please don’t make me a subject. I must be out of my mine.
