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.
The Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) has named Beyoncéas the official face of their limited-edition "Fashion For Haiti"
T-shirt. The charitable tee features black and lime green graphics
designed by Peter Arnell, who also created the CFDA's iconic "Fashion
for America" mended heart T-shirt that raised $2 million dollars
following 9/11 for the Twin Towers Fund. As the spokesperson for
"Fashion For Haiti," Beyoncé has a message for all fashionistas: "Join
me and the fashion industry by buying and wearing the Fashion for Haiti
T-shirt. Together we can send a message of hope by raising much needed
funds for the people of Haiti." In addition to Beyoncé, fashion
designers like Diane von Furstenberg, Ralph Lauren, Tory Burch, Tommy
Hilfiger and more are rallying to promote the $25 knit. The CFDA will
donate the net proceeds from each T-shirt to the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund. Look for the tee to hit shops and e-boutiques on February 16. For more information and a full list of stores, visit CFDA.com.
