UPDATED: Georgia Weapons License Carry Fee To Rise in March
The fees will go up by $7 when you apply for a license at the Cherokee County Probate Court.
A budget crunch at the state level has caused the Cherokee County Probate Court to increase the fee to obtain a Georgia weapons carry license. Beginning March 1, the fee will increase from $72.25 to $79.25 when you apply for a license at the Cherokee County Probate Court. The increase is due to the Georgia Crime Information Center, a division of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, increasing the fee to perform state and federal background checks, which will rise from $37.25 to $44.25. GBI Spokesman John Bankhead said the increase is a "budget issue." The GBI revised increased the fees for fingerprint-based state background checks submitted for "employment, contractor or licensing purposes," according to a GCIC operations bulletin. "…

Sgt. Stacy Bailey is suing the City of Canton for alleged violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act.

To all those that made horrible comments about my father don't even know the real story. Just to let u know the police knew it was a fake toy gun! They knew that from seeing the video camera at Walgreens where the side of the gun was missing. There was also 2 hours between the two stores. Don't u think that if he was dangerous that he would have hurt someone at those stores. Only The Lord can … more ›

GBI: Canton Police Spokeswoman Subject of Investigation
The agency is looking into a "specific expense from the Explorers account," an official with the GBI said.
Sgt. Stacy Bailey, the spokeswoman for the Canton Police Department and one of the key figures behind a new child safety program, is the subject of a GBI criminal investigation, officials with both agencies said today. Chief Bob Merchant on July 18 asked the GBI to "look into an expense from the ... Explorers fund," said Kim Williams, a special agent in the GBI's Cleveland, GA, office, which covers Cherokee County.

"The information was turned over to them," he said. Williams said her office has contacted the …

DA-Elect: Juveniles in Pipe Bomb Case to Be 'Handled As Juveniles'
And the attorney in the case waived a scheduled detention hearing today, Shannon Wallace said.
Based on the evidence she's seen so far, Cherokee County District Attorney-Elect Shannon Wallace said this afternoon that "there's been nothing to show" that two 14-year-old boys accused of making what appeared to be pipe bombs will be charged as adults. "The juveniles will be handled as juveniles," she said. It was Monday that the Canton Police Department received a tip about suspected explosive devices at 119 Woodbury Lane, which is in the city's River Green subdivision. "We had information about a juvenile and a Facebook account," Canton Police Chief Bob Merchant told Canton-Sixes Patch earlier this week, "and we have been able to access that and that information is part of our investigation." While assistant police chief Todd Vande …

Chief: River Green Home with Suspected Explosives 'Not Normal'
Brian and Sandra Howell were arrested Tuesday. They've since been released.
The situation at a River Green home where authorities suspect that a 14-year-old boy allegedly made "extremely dangerous" explosive devices was "dysfunctional," Canton Police Chief Bob Merchant said this afternoon. "When you have juveniles engaging in this type of behavior, and you have parents or adults that elect, for whatever reason, not to get involved, that's not a normal situation," he said. That, Merchant said, is why police arrested Brian and Sandra Howell on Tuesday night, charged each of them with six counts of possession and manufacture of a destructive device as well as two counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor, and turned over a female juvenile in the home to the Department of Children and Family Services. "Our …

I agree, Jake. But was your primary interest in blowing thing up or hurting people? A 14 year old boy who wants to lock the doors of the school so the little kids can't escape then plans on stationing himself at the front door so he can shoot anyone who runs towards the one open door seems a tad concerning to me. We really need to make the distinction here. more ›
