Chatham County Police Department (CCPD) was contacted after it was reported that the driver had hit a parked car. Upon arrival, CCPD advised they were contacting Georgia State Patrol (GSP) to conduct a field sobriety test, which the driver failed. The driver was placed under arrest, and the vehicle was towed from the scene.

Suspicious Incident

She stated that she woke up to her dogs growling at approximately 8:25 p.m. When she checked outside, there was a woman holding a bag and a flashlight standing on her back porch. The resident asked the woman why she was there, and she stated that she trying to give the bag to someone. The resident advised the woman that she was at the wrong house and asked her to leave. The woman complied and left the property. Security responded to the area to look for the woman but had negative results. There were no further reports regarding the woman.
