Cobb Police Capture 3 Murder Suspects in 30 Days

The Cobb County Police Department announced the arrest of three murder suspects within 30 days, crediting advanced technology, commitment, and teamwork. On Nov. 2, officers tracked a suspect accused of murder, injuring two others, and assaulting a child to White Boulevard in Mableton using technology. After a brief chase through a McDonald’s parking lot, the suspect was apprehended, and a weapon linked to the crime was recovered.

On Nov. 12, police pursued another homicide suspect who fled in a high-speed chase, crashing into another car. The suspect was captured that night, while a passenger, who initially escaped, was found the next morning in nearby woods.

The final arrest occurred on Dec. 1 near I-20 in south Cobb. The suspect, wanted for malice murder in DeKalb County, was stopped during a felony traffic stop and taken into custody without incident. Details were shared via social media and YouTube.

Sheriff's Office Santa on Wheels Distributes 2K Toys 

From the Ingles Studio this is your news minute on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast presented by Credit Union of Georgia. Today is Monday, December 25th and I'm Keith Ippolito.

Cobb County Residents Urged to Drive Safely During Holiday Season

Georgia State Patrol Troopers and Motor Carrier Compliance officers are stepping up patrols across interstates and state roads this holiday season, including in Cobb County, to ensure drivers stay safe during the festive period. Colonel Billy Hitchens, Commissioner of the Department of Public Safety, highlighted the focus on preventing serious crashes by targeting unsafe driving habits and enforcing traffic laws. 

Last Christmas, GSP reported 589 crashes, 335 injuries, and 11 fatalities statewide. On New Year’s last year, nine fatalities occurred along with 317 crashes and 177 injuries. These sobering numbers underline the importance of safe driving practices. 

Cobb County drivers are urged to obey speed limits, stay alert, and have a plan for a sober driver. “If you are caught driving impaired, you will be arrested,” added Hitchens.

BREAK: CU of GA (06.26.24 CU OF GA FREE CHECKING_REV_FINAL) 

STORY 1:  Marietta Police Select Third Deputy Chief 

The Marietta Police Department has appointed Major Jake King as its third deputy chief, overseeing the Uniform Patrol Division. This addition follows a department-wide restructuring aimed at enhancing training, performance, and program expansion. Incumbent deputy chiefs Tanya Twaddell and Justin Rutland will manage the Investigative Services and Support Services Divisions, respectively. King, who joined the department in 1998, has extensive experience in various roles and holds a graduate degree in public safety management. His appointment was approved by the City Council after a selection process in November. 

STORY 2:     Who's Qualified for the Special Commission Elections? 

Qualifying for the special election for two Cobb County Board of Commissioners seats ends Friday. The District 2 and District 4 seats, currently held by Democrats Jerica Richardson and Monique Sheffield, will be filled on April 29. Richardson can't run due to redistricting. In District 4, Sheffield and Republican Matthew Hardwick have qualified. In District 2, Democrats Erick Allen, Jaha Howard, and Tracy Stevenson have qualified, with Republican Alicia Adams planning to qualify. The primary is on February 11, with early voting from February 1-7. A runoff, if needed, is set for March 11. 

STORY 3:  Cobb Schools Community Delivers Holiday Cheer 

This holiday season, Cobb schools have been bustling with generosity, collecting 2,000 gifts, over 1,000 coats, and 200 sets of sheets to support families. Central office staff and community partners like Cobb EMC and Salesforce contributed significantly, with Salesforce providing gifts for every fifth-grader at Birney Elementary. Social workers delivered these donations across various schools, ensuring children experienced holiday joy. At Pearson Middle School, students helped sort donations, and the school will continue supporting families during the break. The community's efforts have ensured a brighter holiday season for many families in Cobb.

STORY 4:  A white Christmas in Georgia? Snow chances in Atlanta next week? 

The Atlanta forecast for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day suggests that while sub-freezing temperatures are expected in north Georgia, dry conditions are likely to persist, reducing the chances of a "white Christmas." The last significant snowfall on Christmas in Georgia was in 2010, with 1-3 inches in metro Atlanta and up to 8 inches in the north Georgia mountains. This was the first measurable Christmas Day snowfall in the area since 1881, causing hazardous conditions. Many Georgians are hoping for snow this year, but it remains uncertain. 

STORY 5:  4M expected to pass through Atlanta airport during Christmas/NYE holiday period 

Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) anticipates around 4 million passengers during the Christmas holiday period, with the busiest day expected on December 27, seeing over 327,000 travelers. Nationwide, TSA plans to screen 40 million passengers by January 2. Travelers are encouraged to check ATL.com for parking updates and monitor real-time wait times at the airport.

STORY 4:&nbsp; <a href="https://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/white-christmas-georgia">A white Christmas in Georgia? Snow chances in Atlanta next week?</a>&nbsp;
The Atlanta forecast for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day suggests that while sub-freezing temperatures are expected in north Georgia, dry conditions are likely to persist, reducing the chances of a "white Christmas." The last significant snowfall on Christmas in Georgia was in 2010, with 1-3 inches in metro Atlanta and up to 8 inches in the north Georgia mountains. This was the first measurable Christmas Day snowfall in the area since 1881, causing hazardous conditions. Many Georgians are hoping for snow this year, but it remains uncertain.&nbsp;
