A roundup of unusual cop stories from Northeast Georgia.
Click on the links for more details: 1. A Stone Mountain-area man was taken to the cleaners by a bogus dry-cleaning business earlier this month (sorry, we couldn’t resist). The man responded to a special of “11 pieces for only $18.95,” according to a police report. He dropped off the clothes and paid the money, but when he returned to pick up his clothes six days later the building was deserted. 2. Really? Stealing paint? Home improvement must be pretty expensive. A Lawrenceville man was arrested on felony shoplifting charges after he was caught trying to steal several five-gallon cans of paint from a Johns Creek Home Depot. Apparently, he tried to wheel the paint out of the store in one of those shopping wagons when he was stopped by the …

Unusual police stories from Northeast Georgia.
Click on the links below for more details 1. Apparently, Johns Creek has a serial leaker. Cops responded to a report of a man relieving himself behind a restaurant, and when they approached him, they recognized him from similar past incidents. The man told police he didn’t want to “go in his pants.” 2. Athens Police arrested a man and a woman for taking their public display of affection way too far. Answering a call about indecent exposure, police found the woman baring her breasts and the man … well … stimulated by what he saw (if you know what we mean). 3. An uncle and his gender-changing nephew were found behind a Peachtree Corners-area business up to some salacious stuff. At first, Gwinnett Police thought they were a woman and a …

Unusual police stories from Northeast Georgia.
Click on the links for more details. 1. An Athens woman on the run after a traffic stop lost a shoe in the process. It wasn't Prince Charming, but rather Oconee County Sheriff's deputies, who found her sandal and then later the woman. She was hiding in the nearby woods covered in leaves and sticks. She faces several charges, including fleeing an officer, and a plastic bag containing a white powdery substance also was found in the car. 2. Um, did this man really think this would work? An Athens man was arrested for trying to sell $4,000 worth of stolen air pumps back to the business from which they were stolen. He offered a great deal: $50 for each of the six pumps reported stolen from an Athens job site. When the man drove to Watkinsville …

Don't mess with a man's cheeseburger in North Georgia.
A man learned the hard way that you can't exchange your half-eaten double cheeseburger for a McDouble at the Winder McDonald's. When he tried, police said, he used a lot of profanity, upsetting employees and customers, so he was charged with disorderly conduct. Also in Winder, a man reported a rack of ribs stolen after a domestic dispute with his girlfriend. The melee also resulted in missing liquor, smeared beans and broken eyeglasses. A Fulton County man saw a familiar trailer on the road in DeKalb County -- the one that was stolen from him in 2009. He followed it out to unincorporated Lawrenceville, then called police, who discovered a chop shop on Gloster Road. A silver pitcher, a China plate and some coins were among the missing items…

Unusual police stories from Northeast Georgia.
It wasn't Tyson vs. Holyfield II, the 1997 boxing match in which Mike Tyson bit off a chunck of Evander Holyfield's ear. But Norcross Police did respond to a recent case involving a fight and a human bite. According to the police report, an argument at a party escalated into a brawl, and while the host tried to step in, someone bit his left thumb so severely that stitches were needed to close the wound. The man wasn't sure who had bitten him. Headless goats and chickens were found by Athens Clarke County Police recently on a pathway between an elementary school and apartment complex in what can only be described as horrifyingly weird. After residents complained, the responding officer found the decapitated bodies of three goats, one black …

Unusual police stories from Northeast Georgia.
A Lilburn man going through some tough financial times believed the tow-truck operator when he said he was repossessing the Isuzu Rodeo from his driveway on Bruce Way. According to the incident report, the man told Gwinnett County Police he was in bankruptcy and believed it when the tow-truck driver took the car on June 16. But on June 19, the man's lawyer called the finance company and found that it was not repossessed. Talk about kicking a man when he's down. The Isuzu was then listed as stolen. A Norcross man got more than he bargained for when he rode his bicycle to the gas station to get a beer. When he was outside the store, a man came up from behind and challenged him to a fight. The victim tried to walk away but the man stabbed him…

Unusual police stories from Northeast Georgia.
With a slight-of-hand and some smooth talking, two women with Eastern European accents made off with $841 in cash from the Hamilton Mill Walmart near Dacula. While checking out, one woman twice took money out of till, then gave some of it back to the clerk, saying the bills were “very pretty and she wanted to look at them because money was boring looking where she came from.” The clerk didn’t suspect a thing. In Winder, a resident told a deputy with the Barrow County Sheriff's Office that she was attacked by three females after she and one of the females were “talking smack” on Facebook. The three females allegedly punched her, knocked her to the ground and kicked her in the head. The alleged attackers said the complainant had been …
