Running scared? Changed the rules Georgia Republicans consider a countermeasure to Michelle Nunn

Friday evening after business hours is hardly ever the ideal time for a water main to burst, but that is what happened At 1110 Jeremy Drive in Morgan Manor Estates subdivision in Watkinsville.  Initially there was quite a deluge of water toward the sewer near Katie Lane, but the raging torrent soon subsided to a regular stream of eater on both sides of the street. The Oconee County Utility Department responded and was  digging some holes to try to stem the tide.

I would think a name of the person they are seeking would be germane to his apprehension, but as Investigator Nolley quite correctly pointed out to me just now on the phone, at this point it is indeed an accusation and the Sheriff's office has a pretty good idea of where he is. I certainly hope they catch the perp. Also, I must criticize the newspaper headline writer at the Banner-Herald because at the first glance at this story, it reads as if it is the alleged rapist is a co-worker of the Sheriff's Deputies and not some dude at Kohl's. I would strongly suggest changing the headline before it goes to print. I put the capital letters to show how poorly it is written as is below.

As most of you who have dealt with such circumstances know there are lots of trips to doctors, lawyers, government agencies, banks, etc. ahead and the clock is ticking. Please pray for us.
