Leah Brown, 43, of the 1100 block of Willow Woods Drive, Aiken, was arrested and charged with DUI and her license was suspended, an Aiken Department of Public Safety report said. An officer spotted Brown driving her Mercedes south on Laurens Street towards Park Avenue with no headlights on. She was pulled over on Laurens Street at South Boundary Avenue and the officer could see that her eyes were glassy, her speech was slurred and she smelled like alcohol, the report said. Brown said she’d had two glasses of wine and she agreed to take a field sobriety test. She had trouble on all phases of the test with both the instructions and her balance, the report said. She was arrested for DUI and taken to headquarters where her blood alcohol content registered a .21 percent, the report said. A blood alcohol content that high can cause stupor, loss of understanding, severe motor impairment and blackouts, according to BAC charts.

The messages, who she thinks were from someone other than her son – Anthony Edward Dove, said that the man was in trouble because he owed them a lot of money. A later message said that she would get her car back, a North Augusta Department of Public Safety report said. On July 1, two days after her son left with the car, she filed a report on the missing vehicle telling officers she thought someone else had her car, the report said. Her son, she told officers, has a drug addiction, the report said. Dove, 29, of the 1800 block of Hollis Street, North Augusta, was arrested last Wednesday and charged with breach of trust with fraudulent intent, grand larceny and failure to appear, the report said.

Drayton, who his mother said was recently released from prison on burglary charges, was arrested again for the crime last Wednesday, according to an Aiken Department of Public Safety report. A neighbor of Drayton’s mother came home on Aug. 18 and found that his upstairs bedroom window was open. The window had been pried and the screen was on the roof. An Xbox had been taken during the break-in, the report said. In the room, the man found a black wallet close to the window with Drayton’s ID inside, the report said. Officers talked to Drayton’s mother who said her son was not there. In fact, she said she didn’t know where he was because he had just gotten out of prison, the report said. Drayton, 23, of the 100 block of Sumter Street, Aiken, was arrested at the Probation and Parole office and charged again with burglary, the report said. • BROOKS, JONATHAN MAURICE (Goose Creek, SC) - Driving under suspension, fail to stop for blue lights • BROWER, GARRETT AVERY WESTON (Elder St, North Augusta) - Malicious injury to personal property • BUTLER, AARON ARTHUR (Silver Bluff Rd, Aiken) - Contempt • CABEZAS JR, CARLOS FERMIN (Wagener Rd, Aiken) Contempt • CHAMBERS, KRISTIE LEE (Palmetto Ave, North Augusta) Contempt • DIXON, JOHNNY (Dry Branch 8 SEPTEMBER 17-23, 2014 Reggie Rodriguez, 32, Criminal domestic violence high & aggravated, disorderly conduct Roger Resse, 46, of Aiken, Driving under suspension William Oliver, 17, of Aiken, Attempted murder, armed robbery, burglary Ward Broussard, 56, of Augusta, Driving under suspension Tommy Bellamy, 27, of Beech Island, Disorderly conduct Ricky Saxon, 39, of Graniteville, Driving under suspension Albert Stroman III, 34, of Perry, Failure to pay Clayton Dean, 44, of Warrenville, Hit & run property damage, driving under suspension, receiving stolen goods Charlie Weathersbee Jr., 34, of Warrenville, Criminal domestic violence Felicia Giddens, 34, of Aiken, Driving under suspension - 3rd or more, uninsured vehicle, fraudulent check Jerry Washington, 47, of North Augusta, Driving under suspension - 3rd or more fail to pay STP Terry Taylor Jr., 25, of Wagener, Pedestrian in roadway Cindy Rearden, 28, of Clearwater, Obstructing justice William Ready, 20, of Aiken, Malicious injury to personal property Hailey Taylor, 21, of Langley, Obstructing justice New Warrants in Aiken County Rd, Aiken) - Contempt • GARTRELL, DEAN DEON (Croft Mill Rd, Aiken) - Family court bench warrant • GRAVES, STEPHEN DARIUS (East Martintown Rd, North Augusta) - Family court bench warrant • HOWELL, LEONARD (Seivern Rd, Wagener) - Family court bench warrant • JACKSON, DOROTHY SHALONDA (East Boundary, Augusta) - Contempt • JARQUIN OJEDA, MIGUEL ANGEL (Park Place St, Graniteville) - Contempt • LAMAR II, ARTHUR LEE (Silver Bluff Rd, Aiken) - Family court bench warrant • LANDY, JUSTUS JOHN (Cherry St, Beech Island or Washington Circle, Aiken) - Family court bench warrant • MATRANGA, AARON LEE (Sweetwater Court, North Augusta) - Contempt • MCKNABB, WESLEY CALEB (Seminole St, Aiken) - Contempt • MIMS, MARQUAVIOUS ANTONIO (Pylant Crossing, Augusta) - Assault & battery 3rd • NEW, DAVID CODY (Neeses, SC) - Violation of order of protection • NUNEZ II, ROGER (Hephzibah, THE JAIL REPORT GA) - Family court bench warrant • PIERCE, MATTHEW CHRISTOPHER (Edisto Ave, Aiken) Contempt • RICHARDSON, SUSAN J (Richmond, IN) - Stop payment with intent to defraud • ROCCIA, CHRISTOPHER VANCE (Butler, PA) - Family court bench warrant • SAVOY, CHRISTOPHER DAVID (Ridgemont Dr, Aiken) Family court bench warrant • SKIPPER, CORY JUSTIN (Robinhood Trail, Aiken) - Assault & battery 3rd • SMITH JR, KIP TIMOTHY (Andover Dr, Graniteville) - Unlawful use of telephone • THOMAS, SHARRON MARQUIS (West Buena Vista, North Augusta) - Family court bench warrant • TYLER, JOHNATHAN MAUQICE (Leesville, SC) - Contempt • WILLIAMS, OTIS TURNER (Railroad St, Graniteville) - Contempt • WISE, ANTHONY JEROME (Highway 19, Trenton) - Family court bench warrant • WOOD, JEFFREY TYLER (Sebastian Court, Aiken) - Contempt • YOUMANS, TOCCARA MONIQUE (Bradleyville Rd, North Augusta) - Contempt NEW MUGSHOTS HOURLY AT: AUGUSTACRIME.COM AIKEN COUNTY Man: Strange Feeling Made Him Punch Girlfriend A Warrenville man said he punched the mother of his child in the face early last Friday morning because he felt strange.

A new report says blacks constitute 53.1 percent of the population of Richmond County, but you have improved the percentage of full-time black deputies from 21.9 percent to about 31 percent. Can you talk about why this is important and what you are doing to influence these figures? –The Jail Report A.

Laniece Greenwood was pulled over and then arrested last Thursday in Shorewood as a result of an overdue library book, according to a report by CBS 58 News. “He’s like, ‘Do you know why I pulled you over? He said it’s because you have a warrant. It’s from Cudahy for an overdue book,” Greenwood told a local reporter. The woman said she started to laugh before realizing the cop wasn’t joking. When the officer realized she was taking her daughter to school, he agreed to escort her there and then to the police department. Once Greenwood made it to the Shorewood Police Department, she was given a citation and a new court date. The year-old citation included overdue fines of $177. Books at the Cudahy Family Library are considered stolen after 60 days’ late. A list of violators are turned over to local police, who mail out citations. Police say the violators can either pay the fine or go to court. If they do neither, a warrant is issued for their arrest. Greenwood told the TV station that she never got the citation and had never even been to the library in Cudahy. An Ohio man was busted last week for advertising his girlfriend’s food stamp card for sell on Facebook. The Facebook post by Derron Chamberlain drew the attention of police officers in Middletown, and busting the suspect was fairly easy. He posted his phone number. “He did put his real information while he was doing this illegal act for everybody to see,” Middletown Police Lt. Scott Reeve told a local newspaper. The man seemed crazy excited when an undercover cop called him as a potential buyer. He was so excited that he kept calling back, desperate to make a deal happen for $100, police said. So cops met Chamberlain at a local park and arrested him for trafficking food stamps, a felony. The suspect claimed ignorance, acting surprised that it was illegal to sell food stamps. But this is no angel. Chamberlain’s a repeat offender with at least 19 previous arrests. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has said that food stamp fraud totals $750 million each year. A New York woman got sweet revenge on a man who allegedly stuck his head up her skirt at a Brooklyn subway station and assaulted her. She saw the man back on the subway two days later and snapped a picture of him. Police then used that photo to find and arrest him. James Barnes, 61, of Brooklyn, was charged with sexual abuse and assault in the Aug. 8 incident. The 32-year-old woman told police she was walking up a subway staircase when Barnes tried to peek up her skirt. She pushed him away, and he allegedly grabbed her and threw her down the stairs. He then punched and kicked the victim before fleeing, according to police. She suffered minor injuries. When she saw the same man reading a paper on the subway Aug. 10, she snapped a picture. Police investigated and eventually released the image last Thursday. He was arraigned last Friday. Godly Golf Moses, Jesus and a third man are playing golf one day. Moses is up first. He hits a nice shot, but it dips and lands in a water trap. Moses quickly raises his club, the water parts, and the ball rolls out of the trap. Jesus is up next. He hits an almost identical shot, again landing in the water trap. The ball hovers a few inches over the surface of the water, and Jesus casually strolls out and chips the ball up onto the green. The third man is up last. He hits a long shot, but it’s going in a wrong direction. It flies off the course to the left and into traffic. It hits a truck and bounces off, landing on the roof of the pro shop and rolling down the roof until it bounces down the course. It lands in the same water trap. A frog takes the ball in its mouth when suddenly a hawk flies down, picks up the frog, and as they fly over the green the frog drops the ball into a hole for a perfect hole-in-one. Moses turns to Jesus and says, “I hate playing with your dad.” The New Supermarket Single Sign A man is out buying groceries. He buys one apple, one banana, one small milk, a frozen meal for one, and one cup of instant noodles. The cashier looks at him and says “So, I suppose you’re single?” The man looks away, blushing, and answers “Yes I am. How did you know?” The cashier replies “Because you’re ugly. Have you heard about the new supermarket that just opened up nearby? It has an automatic water mister to keep the produce fresh. Just before it goes on, you hear the sound of distant thunder and smell fresh rain. When you pass the milk cases, you hear cows mooing and there is the scent of freshly mowed hay. In the meat department there is the aroma of charcoal grilled steaks with onions. When you approach the egg case, you hear hens clucking and cackling, and the air is filled with the pleasing aroma of bacon and eggs frying. The bread department features the tantalizing smell of fresh baked bread and cookies. Just make sure to skip the toilet paper aisle.

Johnston Each week, I attempt to pick a topic based off of questions that people ask me the most. Over the past month, I’ve been asked on numerous occasions “How can I be charged with DUI when I was legally prescribed to take that medication?” The Georgia Legislature foresaw this question when they drafted O.C.G.A. § 40-6-391. This statute covers driving under the influence not only of alcohol, but also driving under the influence of drugs, or other intoxicating substances. First, O.C.G.A. § 40-6-391(a)(2) states clearly that a person shall not drive or be in actual physical control of any moving vehicle while under the influence of “any drug” to the extent that it’s “less safe” for that person to drive. Subsection (b) of this statute is key in answering the question above. It states that a person charged with DUI cannot use as a defense the fact that they are “legally entitled” to use a particular drug. It goes on to say that a person using a legally prescribed drug is only in violation of this statute if such person is “rendered incapable of driving safely” as a result of using their legally prescribed drug. This is the law as it relates to driving under the influence of prescription medications. Now let me attempt to put this into real world application. As most people understand, even legally prescribed drugs may have a significant impact on a person’s motor skills and functional capacity. Some drugs make people sleepy or groggy. Others drugs make people jumpy or jittery. If the side effects of these prescription drugs make a person a less safe driver on the roadways of Georgia, then that person should not drive after taking those medications. The next question I always get is “How do they prove that someone is a ‘less safe’ driver?” The answer to that question often turns on the facts of each individual case. One of the things officers often observe is an impaired driver not staying in his or her lane. If a person is all over the road, then that’s a good indicator that that person is “less safe” on the roadway. Also, if a person causes a wreck, then that is certainly a mark of a “less safe” driver. There are many other things that are consider less safe acts. Please seek the advice of an attorney should any of these questions impact your life. Jeffrey E.
