  • Two Georgia Hospital Employees Arrested After Stealing And Throwing Away Ashes Of Stillborn

    Two Georgia Hospital Employees Arrested After Stealing And Throwing Away Ashes Of Stillborn

    Two former laundry employees of a suburban Atlanta hospital are now in police custody after allegedly stealing an urn containing the ashes of a stillborn infant and then throwing the ashes away, Action News 5 reported.

    In August of last year, Carla Massey gave birth to a stillborn six months into her pregnancy. In order to keep her near for emotional support, the heartbroken parents cremated the infant and placed her ashes within an urn that was put into a teddy bear. While Carla was hospitalized at Wellstar Kennestone Hospital in Marietta, the bear went missing, devastating the couple.

    “Losing her plus the ashes was a big heartbreak,” Massey explained in an interview.

    The teddy bear was found in a trash can within the hospital’s laundry room the same day, but the urn was not there. After an investigation, the urn was found in the home of two employees, who are also married to each other. Unfortunately, the ashes had been disposed of.

    Anilus and Rosnie Frederic were each charged with theft and abandonment of a dead body. Both of the Frederics were released on bail, but are no longer employed by Wellstar Kennestone Hospital. A reason for why the couple decided to steal and discard the infant’s ashes has yet to be revealed, but the victims are relieved to learn of their arrest.

    “I pray for them, and hope they get better mentally and physically, but I just don’t understand why they would do something like this,” Massey said.

    2 Men Die by Electrocution After Attempting to Break Into Georgia Substation

    Two Georgia men died by electrocution after attempting to break into a power company substation, Fox News reported. 

    Police identified the men as 45-year-old Shane Joseph Long and Christopher Blair Wood, 44. The men allegedly tried to break into the Georgia Power Co. substation on Monday. Gainesville Police said the men tried to steal

    “copper wiring when they were killed,”

    reports note. 

    Emergency crews responded to a call about an explosion/ possible fire however, hours passed before the bodies were recovered due to the danger of the electricity. Medical professionals are conducting autopsies for the two men. 

     “I’m not sure what they were trying to steal… One of the officers retrieved a backpack from that area, and I’m assuming it’s one of theirs. And, you know, how much could they have carried out, a couple $100 worth of stuff? And just the loss of life for that? It’s sad. It’s heartbreaking,”

    Pap Datta, owner of the adjoining Liquid Nation Brewing, told The Times of Gainesville.

    Substitute Teacher Claims School Officer Grabbed Her by the Throat and Dragged Her Through the Hallway

    A substitute teacher claims she was grabbed by the throat and dragged through the hallway by a student resource officer who thought she was a student, WSB-TV reported. 

    Nia King, 22, who has been working at Eagle’s Landing High School in McDonough, Georgia since September said she was attacked by an SRO after attempting to break up a fight between two girls in the hallway. 

    “The girl hits the other girl, and then that’s when the crowd started,”

    King told WSB-TV.

    “Once we pushed down the hall, I got trampled from the left to the right of the hall, and then now I’m back into the middle of the fight. As I was back in the middle of the fight, the SRO just grabs me by the neck, and the fight is still continuing to go on, and she dragged me all the way from the middle of the hall towards her office,”

    she explained.

    King said she wasn’t offered any explanation for the SRO actions.

    “She asked me do I need EMS, do I need the nurse, and do I need some water,”

    King recalled.

    “I just told her, ‘I just need you to leave because you just drug me from that point to this point, and I couldn’t breathe, but you wouldn’t talk.’” 

    King said the officer came back to explain that she was trying to save her from being attacked in the brawl. However, King said she made no contact with the students during the fight.

    “I couldn’t breathe at one point,”

    she said. The incident was caught on video by students and has been sent to both the Henry County police and the school district, who are conducting an investigation into the matter.

    Inmates Enjoy Steak Dinner In Jail Cell, Officials Believe Correction Officers Brought Them Food After Receiving Payments From Prisoners  

    It looks like some Georgia inmates were eating great, reports FOX. The outlet reports that they ate steak in their cell after allegedly paying someone to bring it to them. 

    The Fulton County Sheriff’s Office investigators released a video that showed inmates in their cell chowing down on the five-star meal. The prisoners were also seen drinking an orange Fanta. The sheriff’s office said an officer probably brought the food to the Fulton County Jail after inmates paid them. 

    Pat Labat, the Fulton County Sheriff, said bringing in food for an inmate for payment is considered breaking the rules. The Sheriff informed Fox 5 Atlanta,

    “The delivery of outside food to inmates at the Fulton County Jail is strictly prohibited. Any employee who violates protocol and or allows a breach in security is disciplined according to department policy.” 

    Correctional Officers have previously accepted payments in exchange for providing inmates with drugs, food, cell phones, and other prohibited items, sources from the jail told the news outlet. 

    A jail source went on to reveal that an officer can get up to $2,000 for sneaking in a cellular device to an inmate.

  • Rick Ross’ Neighbor Calls Police After Rapper’s Pet Buffaloes Wander Onto Her Property

    Rick Ross’ Neighbor Calls Police After Rapper’s Pet Buffaloes Wander Onto Her Property

    Last year, Rick Ross was gifted a pair of buffalo by the clothing company Ethika when he expanded his ranch, The Promise Land. Despite the extravagant estate consisting of 235 acres of land in Fayetteville, Georgia, one of the esteemed rapper’s neighbors notified police after his enormous pets wandered onto her property.

    According to TMZ, the mother returned home from work to discover the 2,000 lb animals grazing on the grass in her yard, near her driveway. Concerned for the safety of her small children, the woman attempted to confront Ross about the buffalo on her property, but she was stopped by members of his team. After being turned away, she called police, who told her it was a civil dispute and refused to take a report. She says her next step is to filing a neighbor dispute with the city.

    On Sunday afternoon, after seeing many headlines mentioning his escaped animals, Ross released a statement on his Instagram, claiming that his buffalo were harmless. “They are just grazers, they are not meat eaters,” Ross said in one story. He says that the animals were able to leave the property due to work he was having done on the property, and explained that members of his team had rounded up them up.

    “So when you see my buffalo, give it a carrot, give it an apple,” Ross instructed. “They so kind. They so peaceful. . . Thanks everyone for making sure my animals got back into the Promise Land.”

    “the result of an attempted catalytic converter theft.” 

    Abouharb told the news station,

    “Is it worth it? To steal a catalytic converter to sell for $100. To lose your life? It’s not.”

    There has been a spike in catalytic converter theft. If you’re unaware, a catalytic converter is a part of the vehicle’s control emission and exhaust system. According to FOX,

  • Burger King Staff Member Reportedly Distracted Manager With Food Order To Let In Armed Robbers, Reports Say

    Burger King Staff Member Reportedly Distracted Manager With Food Order To Let In Armed Robbers, Reports Say

    A staffer from a Georgia Burger King is being accused of helping two men rob the fast food chain. According to WSB, Rome authorities say, Derricus Wade, the employee, attempted to distract the manager by ordering a burger. 

    The incident occurred on Sunday night. A police report says that the manager saw Wade standing at the side of the door and he informed the manager that he was hungry and requested a burger. The manager said he allowed Wade to go inside the store and began to make him the burger. Wade conversed with another employee as they walked to the back. Shortly after, reports say Wade allowed two men who wore ski masks to enter the Burger King’s back door entrance. The manager informed officials that one man aimed a gun at him and an employee as he

    “directed them toward the safe.” 

    Once they got to the safe, both men took close to $1,500 and put it in a plastic bag. They then urged the manager to open the cash register as they took $420.63 from one register and $1,429.77 from the register at the drive-thru. The suspects managed to flee the scene with almost $3,500. 

    The suspects demanded that they be given the security footage; however, they instead fled with

    “four electronic boxes that controlled the food displays.” 

    The boxes were worth $375 and were later retrieved by officials in addition to cell phones. 

    Wade was later arrested and charged with armed robbery. The other suspects have not been captured.

    Three Georgia Teens Charged After 15-Year-Old Found Fatally Shot In Bed

    On February 21st, a Peachtree, Georgia woman was getting ready for work when she noticed the light in her daughter’s room was on earlier than usual. When she made her way into the bedroom, despite it being locked, she noticed that a window was open and that the blinds were “a mess.” According to the New York Post, she then discovered her 15-year-old, Madison Gesswein, in her bed “bleeding from her head.”

    While on the phone with dispatch, the panicked mother begins to perform CPR, telling them that “there’s a lot of blood” and that she “can’t get any response from her.” First responders arrive to the apartment complex less than five minutes later, and sadly pronounced Madison dead at the scene.

    “A final cause of death is pending determination by the medical examiner, but an injury to Madison’s head appears consistent with a gunshot wound,” police said.

    The following day, authorities arrested three 18-year-olds in connection to the murder. All three were described as “acquaintances of the victim.” Justus Smith, Jacobean Brown, and Yeshua Mathis, all from Fayetteville, were each charged with murder. A potential motive for the crime has not been revealed.

    “This was not a random act,” explained Assistant Police Chief Matt Myers. “They knew whose apartment they were at, and it was in some way related to matters between these individuals.”
