Drugs Hidden in Diaper Bag 

By Condace Pressley

If you're hiding drugs, don't hide them in a diaper bag.  Lt. Mark Mayton with the Bartow-Cartersville Drug Task Force said 26-year-old Eddie Murray and Karmiec Dickens hid their marijuana in their eight-month-old's diaper bag, but forgot to take it out when they took the infant to day care on Tuesday where a day care worker found it. Authorities came out and determined it was marijuana.  Once they realized who the diaper bag belonged to, they searched the couple's home on Iron Belt Court and found more marijuana. Both Murray and Dickens face charges of possession.

Honda Motor Co. is adding 437,000 vehicles to its 15-month-old global recall for faulty air bags in the latest quality problem to hit a Japanese automaker.  The company will replace the driver's side air bag inflator in the cars because they can deploy with too much pressure, causing the inflator to rupture and injure or kill the driver.  Japan's No. 2 automaker originally announced the recall to the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in November 2008 and the total of number vehicles recalled since then is approaching 1 million.  The latest expansion of the air bag recall includes 378,000 cars in the U.S., some 41,000 cars in Canada and 17,000 cars in Japan, Australia and elsewhere in Asia. The North American recall was announced Tuesday and followed Wednesday by the recall in Asia.  The recall now affects 952,118 vehicles, including certain 2001 and 2002 Accord sedans, Civic compacts, Odyssey minivans, CR-V small sport utility vehicles and some 2002 Acura TL sedans.

Government safety officials Tuesday announced a recall
of more than 500,000 drop-side cribs sold at Buy Buy Baby, Kmart, Wal-Mart and other stores after the death of three infants.  The Consumer Product Safety Commission says plastic hardware on Generation 2 Worldwide and ChildESIGNS cribs can break and allow the drop side to detach. In addition, the mattress supports can break away from the crib frames. Both defects create gaps where a small child can be trapped and suffocate or strangle.  The agency has received three reports of children who died after getting trapped in gaps between the drop sides of their cribs and their mattresses.

A 33-year-old Georgia Tech alum who attacked
a research fellow with a samurai sword on campus last week previously scuffled with the victim about a woman.  Five months ago at a dance on campus, Kshitij Shrotri, the alleged attacker, became incensed when he saw a woman he liked dancing alongside Samer Tawfik.  According to a Georgia Tech police report, Shrotri yelled in an undetermined foreign language and then pushed Tawfik several times.  Police say the unidentified woman considered filing a protection order against Shrotri, but decided that would only aggravate him.  That report last September notes that Shrotri, who earned a Ph.D. from Tech in 2008, had moved to Delaware.  Tawfik, underwent surgery at Grady Memorial Hospital following the attack.


A huge fire heavily damaged a warehouse
near downtown Lawrenceville Wednesday morning, sending smoke into the air that could bee seen as far away as Cobb County.  Gwinnett firefighters arrived at Artistic Builders Supply at 18 East Crogan Street just before 7 Wednesday morning.  Gwinnett Fire Capt. Tommy Rutledge says a passerby first noticed the flames.  No one was hurt.  The cause of the fire is undetermined and under investigation, Rutledge said. Gwinnett fire investigators are being assisted by federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, he said
