STORY 1 Car
Three suspects, who were reported as runaway juveniles, have been arrested by the Cobb County Police Department for stealing a vehicle near Bentley and Windy Hill roads. The suspects led the police on a chase but eventually crashed the vehicle. One suspect dropped a gun while fleeing, and officers were able to locate and apprehend him. Another suspect was pursued by an officer but managed to escape. Three guns were recovered during the incident. The other two suspects were found at a hotel after surveillance and were taken into custody with the assistance of the Violent Crime Bureau....check in at mdjonline.com for updates on this story.
Story 2: ged
The Cobb County Adult Detention Center has implemented an on-site high school equivalency diploma program for detainees, eliminating the need for transportation to other jails for testing. The program aims to reduce costs and provide a familiar environment for the detainees. Capt. Yaminah Holt, overseeing jail programming, expressed excitement about the program and announced that one detainee had already passed the first on-site GED test. The initiative is a partnership between the Cobb County Sheriff's Office, CobbWorks, and the Cobb County School District. The program aligns with Sheriff Owens' commitment to helping detainees maximize their time in custody and increase their productivity upon release.
Story 3: drowns
A tragic incident occurred in Lizella, Georgia, where a four-year-old boy from Marietta drowned in a pool during a gathering at a neighborhood home. The child, identified as Viraat Gosain, wandered off and fell into the pool. Paramedics rushed him to a nearby emergency room, but he was pronounced dead shortly after 3 p.m. Lonnie Miley, deputy coroner, stated that it appears to be an accidental drowning. As the death involved a child, authorities are likely to schedule an autopsy. Viraat would have celebrated his fifth birthday on Thursday. The incident is a heartbreaking reminder of the importance of water safety, especially around young children

Mountain View Elementary and King Springs Elementary were the top-raising schools in Cobb, contributing $57,971 and $57,210, respectively. The funds raised support the AHA's research and outreach programs aimed at addressing high blood pressure, CPR education, nutrition security, tobacco, and the youth vaping crisis.

Crystal Henderson, senior guard for Kell High School, became the most decorated player in the program's history by leading the team to the Class AAAAA state championship. As a result of her exceptional season, Henderson was named the 2022-23 Cobb County Girls Basketball Player of the Year. She averaged 25.4 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, and 3 steals per game. Henderson received first-team all-state honors and the Class AAAAA Player of the Year award. She surpassed 2,000 career points, becoming the all-time leading scorer in Kell basketball history. Henderson's No. 30 jersey was retired alongside her brother's No. 0. Winning the state title was the most cherished accomplishment for Henderson, who scored 29 points in the championship game.
Story 7: C.O.Y.
Kandra Bailey, the head coach of the Kell High School girls basketball team, was named the 2022-23 Cobb County Girls Basketball Coach of the Year after leading the team to a 26-5 record and their first-ever Class AAAAA state championship. Bailey took over the program in the previous season and motivated her players to seek redemption after a loss in the state semifinals. She challenged the team with a tough non-region schedule, and despite some setbacks and injuries, the players adapted and learned from their experiences. With Crystal Henderson leading the scoring and other players stepping up, Kell dominated the competition and captured the state title.
