They began following the girls around the area of the PTC Aquatic Center and chased them through the tunnel leading to Sagamore/Ardenlee. After exiting the tunnel, the occupants of the unidentified golf cart threw a blue dum-dum lollipop at the passenger. It bounced into the face of the driver and she hit a tree. Both girls were hurt - the passenger fell off of the cart. The other golf cart then rammed into the EZ-Go with the driver still on board. The front axle of the cart was bent, the windshield and one headlight were knocked off, and the batteries were jumbled under the seat.</p> Crime, Law Enforcement, & Courts Sun, 20 Jul 2008 23:26:09 -0400 IF you want greater gun control... http://archive.thecitizen.com/node/30007 <p>If you want greater gun control... then be willing to post a big sign in your yard that states you are in favor of greater gun control laws.</p> Crime, Law Enforcement, & Courts Fri, 11 Jul 2008 14:15:12 -0400 Ballard: No Prison for Most Internet Predators http://archive.thecitizen.com/node/29833 <p>Hayes chides DA Ballard for child predator sentences<br /> Tue, 07/08/2008 - 4:27pm<br /> By: John Munford</p> <p>Ballard: Office ‘aggressively prosecutes’ the crime</p> Crime, Law Enforcement, & Courts Mon, 07 Jul 2008 15:58:58 -0400 Scott Ballard Aids and abets Convicted Child Molester http://archive.thecitizen.com/node/29621 <p>In a transcript of Ballard’s testimony in the hearing, Ballard told the court that in the past while Allen had been treated for sexual-related issues, he felt they had “missed” the real root of Allen’s problem: alcohol.</p> Crime, Law Enforcement, & Courts Mon, 30 Jun 2008 11:22:31 -0400 Fulton DA - Possible Charges for Shooting Home Intruder http://archive.thecitizen.com/node/29454 <p><a ></p> Crime, Law Enforcement, & Courts Sun, 22 Jun 2008 16:44:04 -0400 Dispelling myths and lies about sheriff candidates http://archive.thecitizen.com/node/29423 <p>There have been many scurrilous charges spread about the various candidates for Fayette County sheriff in the upcoming election.</p> Crime, Law Enforcement, & Courts Fri, 20 Jun 2008 05:57:02 -0400 Sheriff Election http://archive.thecitizen.com/node/29401 <p>I must admit I am new to the area.
