Today’s Important Reminders & The Week Ahead
Thanksgiving is 3 days away, and Christmas is 30 days away.
Traffic Issues
The drama of the under-construction roundabout at Highway 16 East and Highway 54 continues. As of yesterday, and until further notice, the intersection is now a four-way stop. In reality, it’s a traffic nightmare. If at all possible, avoid this portion of Highway 16 E if at all possible. You can find more information here.
GDOT crews will start “ vegetation work “ today along I-85 North and Southbound between mileposts 41-57, including the shoulder lanes from mile markers 46 and 58. They will be working between 6 AM and 8 PM.
Summary and Updates
The following articles were published on the NCST News website in the previous few days.
The following incidents were covered on the Newnan Coweta Scanner Traffic NCST FB Page in the previous few days.
K9 Titan Laid to Rest
Hundreds of Law Enforcement Officers, their families, and members of the public came together on Friday afternoon at Unity Baptist Church to honor the life and accomplishments of K9 Titan.
Dr. Doug McCart, a senior Pastor at Unity as well as the Chaplin for the Newnan Police Department spoke about the love and family of which Titan was a part.
K-9 coordinator Sgt. Mark Storey, recounted the many accomplishments of Titan’s 5-year career while conveying the deep loss felt by not only the department but the community he served so heroically.
CCSO Warns of Possible Crypto Scam Centering Around K9 Titan
Shortly after the service, the Coweta County Sheriff’s Office shared a post to their Facebook page informing the community they’d become aware of a possible scam involving a group attempting to market a crypto “coin” that happens to share its name with the fallen K9.
It’s not known at this time if the group has attempted to solicit donations in the name of the fallen K9, but a quick look at the group’s X account shows that they are certainly attempting to align themselves in some way with his memory at the very least.
SPD, CCSO, and Other Agencies locate Vehicle, Individuals from TN BOLO
Just after 4 PM yesterday afternoon, E911 received a Be On the Look Out (BOLO) from an agency in Baldwin County, TN ( Located just south of Nashville ). The BOLO was for a particular vehicle, its driver, an adult male, as well as a juvenile. The BOLO included information that made it clear that the agency in TN believed the juvenile may be in grave danger. The information and BOLO were shared with Coweta County and Surrounding Agencies due to information that the vehicle had been seen in the area.
The vehicle was located just about 45 minutes later, unoccupied, by an SPD unit on Main St. in Senoia. Units from the CCSO, SPD, GSP, and other agencies aware of the BOLO responded to the location and began searching the area and local businesses for the individuals in the BOLO.
Shortly after the search started, contact was made with the individuals inside a local shop. Units detained the adult and secured the juvenile as they started an investigation which included speaking directly with investigators at the agency in TN that placed the BOLO.
As a result of that thorough investigation, it was determined that the juvenile was safe and both were released without any further law enforcement action.
