The Drunk Taco

On Sunday July 22 at 2 a.m. a black Pontiac was seen running the stop sign behind Fifth Third Bank, nearly hitting the median on Busbee Parkway, driving at a high rate of speed. 

An officer pursued with activated lights and saw the vehicle power-slide into the entrance of the Millstead Village apartments.  After the driver was asked to step out of the vehicle he spontaneously stated that he had consumed several drinks earlier that night but had called a cab to take him home from Electric Cowboy’s. After consenting to and failing a field sobriety test he explained that the only reason he was driving was because he was hungry and went to Del Taco for a taco. The driver was arrested for drunken driving and reckless driving and taken to Cobb County Police.

 

Do You like Me: Yes, No, Stay Away

On Wednesday July 18 at 10 p.m. a female student filed a complaint for harassing communications. 

A week prior she had parked her car by building 100 on Marietta Drive and returned to find a note on her windshield reading “I think u are super hot!” Several days later she parked in the same lot and when returning to her car she found another note, this one read, “ARE u Single? Leave a note too.”

When the student found the second note she immediately went to file a police report but said she had seen no one by her vehicle. There has been no one found and there is no known video of the incidents.
