ATHENS-CLARKE COUNTY POLICE DEPARTMENT SPECIAL MEDIA RELEASE
22 September 2015 - Prepared by Major Mark Sizemore


SUSPECT SOUGHT

On Sunday, September 20, 2015 at approximately 1:30 p.m., the Athens-Clarke County Police Department responded to the Greenway in the area of Martin Luther King Jr Pkwy near College Ave in reference to a female being attacked by an unknown individual. The female was walking on the Greenway when she was grabbed from behind. She was able to fight off her attacker but suffered minor injuries during the assault. The suspect fled the scene. The suspect is described as a Hispanic male possibly in his 40's. He is believed to be less than six feet tall with a stocky build, scruffy facial hair and pockmarks on his face. He was also described as having a tattoo of red lips on the right side of his neck.

After an extensive search of the area by police, the suspect was not located. During the search, clothing discarded by the suspect was discovered. A Billabong t-shirt, bluish gray in color, and a Fox hat, white in color, were identified by the female as being worn by the suspect during the attack. With assistance from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, a sketch was completed by a forensic artist and is believed to be a very accurate depiction of the attacker.

The Athens-Clarke County Police Department is asking the public for any assistance in identifying this individual. If you recognize the person in the sketch, or have any information that might assist with this investigation, you are asked to contact Detective Chris Brogden at 706-613-3888 Ext 312; or Detective Nathan Hayes at 706-613-3888 Ext 681. Crime Stoppers is offering a reward of up to $1,000 for information leading to the identity and arrest of this individual. If you wish to remain anonymous, you can contact the Crime Stoppers Tip Line at 706-613-3342. If you see this suspect you are asked to call 911.

The Athens-Clarke County Police Department wants the public to enjoy all outdoor activities but reminds its citizens to stay aware of your surroundings and avoid distractions such as cellphones and IPads. If you see suspicious or criminal behavior always call 911 and report your observations or concerns.

Major Charles Newson will be on call for emergency management purposes until 0800 Monday, September 28.

Jeff Dantzler's arrests may be the best thing that ever happened to him

THis has next to nothing to do with Oconee County with the possible exception of the location of his former office, but a former colleague of mine on the radio got popped today for four counts. Any one who has listened to 960 the Ref AM sports talk radio or heard the UGA Lady Dawgs or men's baseball team has surely heard the encyclopedic knowledge of one Jeff Dantzler. Jeff and I are pretty much diametrically opposed poltically, but today he was arrested on four counts including DUI. I hope he gets the help he needs following his incarceration. I work for a lawyer who could help him out if he does not having someone already representing him. This man is a great broadcaster and I hope this arrest serves as a wake-up call for him and his rock and roll lifestyle. I live a far from perfect life myself but long ago and far away I learned how and when not to drink. Now we will be without he dulcet tones on Lady Bulldog broadcasts as well as on Georgia baseball games and also on the after...

A deep wound waiting to be healed - restoring order and dignity in the city cemetery

Image
The Watkinsville City Cemetery is an oasis amidst the houses on the east side of the municipality, near the neighborhood once called Sidney. There is a large section of the cemetery that remains a mystery, but perhaps we can work together to dignify the eternal resting spot somewhat better than the current neglected and forgotten (not to mention unmarked) graves of 70 people, more than likely of African-American descent. They deserve to be honored as well. An effort has been undertaken to repair the graves with fill dirt to stop the continued erosion amongst the graves. The most recent grave and bench belong to Larry Sheats,  and as any one who played basketball at Herman C. Michael Park or knew him otherwise  can attest, he was among the best people this county has ever seen. Larry was always ready to help. Now it is our turn to help. Do it for someone you knew there, maybe the Hardens, or the Downs, or any number of other people, but allow me to reminisce about how L...

I strongly disagree with the impending demolishing of the iconic Watkinsville Water Tower

Image
I know the Watkinsville Water Tower near where the "Big Spring" of what was one called Big Springs, Georgia serves no functional purpose anymore. I know it is a hazard. I know it is rusty and old and past its usefulness for the most part. I see a purpose beyond the aesthetic and instead as a possible financial benefit.  I know there is a way to keep it and make money for our municipality. I wonder who is doing the seemingly shoddy job of removing it (or at least preparing to raze it) and who stands to make money off that?  The dismantling of the Watkinsville Water Tower has already caused one gas leak and I can only imagine what problems await the demolition of the dinosaur.  If it is only because a group of kids have been crawling up it, then build a fence around it. I would think the City of Watkinsville would benefit and making monthly lease fees if they would instead do what about 90% of these abandoned water towers do and that is become a cellular telephone tow...
