Also added on the DCSO news page today. They also said they have not caught the Wachovia bank robber. Also on today’s magistrate calendar, they’ve listed the names of the people involved in the meth lab bust.
DCSO received a phone call on a concern for welfare on a male that had attempted suicide by drinking antifreeze. His sister gave us his vehicle description and last known whereabouts of 3349 W County Line Rd. Investigator Wilson, got behind the suspect vehicle and Deputy Goode chased the male, Robert “Coochie” Jacobs. Jacobs bailed at 2349 W. County Line Rd and DCSO was able to take him into custody. Jacobs was brought to the jail and then taken to Douglas Wellstar hospital.
This was added to the DCSO page sometime today:
Allan George Norton, of Dearborn Michigan, passed away in his home in Brook Field Village, Douglasville, GA some time over the last two weeks. He was born in 1957 and to date we have identified no next of kin. He was not employed at the time of his passing. He may have visited various alternative lifestyle establishments in the Metro Atlanta Area over the last few years. Anyone with information on any next of kin for Mr. Norton is asked to contact the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office in reference to Case number 696860-09.
There’s a thread on the Douglasville Topix if you want to read rumors.
Three 15-year-old girls were airlifted to three different Atlanta hospitals Wednesday afternoon after being involved in a four-wheeler all-terrain vehicle (ATV) accident on Tanyard Creek Road.
According to Trooper J.E. Hutcheson of State Patrol Post 4 in Villa Rica, the accident occurred about 4:30 p.m. when the girls tried to negotiate a curve, lost control of the 2005 Suzuki ATV and overturned.
“All three had serious injuries,” Hutcheson said. “One was taken to Atlanta Medical Center, one to Egleston and one to Grady.”
Investigation is continuing by Georgia State Patrol Senior Trooper Wayne Darity.

DOUGLASVILLE, Ga. – A tip from a Home Depot employee helps police uncover a suspected meth lab in Douglas County.
Four people are under arrest and deputies said one of those suspects actually led them to the home.
Meth can be highly addictive but relatively easy to make. One of the main ingredients — sodium hydroxide — can be found in drain cleaner, which can be found at most local stores. It was that easy access and a conscientious employee that caused one meth lab to be shut down.
Police said it was a call from a Douglasville Home Depot employee that sparked a scene off Malone Road. The employee noticed two people had been in the store for hours buying materials and ingredients to make meth.
Once police arrived they arrested the individuals and the woman arrested said they’d been making the drug out of her home. Once there, police found what they said is an active lab.
“It didn’t look unusual, but you could kind [of] tell that there was strange activity going on over there,” said neighbor Neil Davis.
Neil Davis lives right next door to the suspects. He said they’ve been living there about a year and a half. In addition to the two arrested at the local store, two more were arrested inside the house.
“I thought they were real good guys. Found out they were dealing meth over there,” said Davis.
Although the materials to make meth can usually be bought at any local store, the ingredients and process can be highly explosive.
“It was surprising to find out that your neighbors would speak to you and deal drugs on the side. I didn’t think they do it like that in Douglasville,” Davis said.
Police said at this point they’re not sure how big the lab was — whether it was used to sell the drug or used for self-use only. The names of those arrested have not been released.
