PAGE 6A BARROW JOURNAL WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 31, 2008 Public Safety REPORTS ON CRIMES. WRECKS. FIRES & COURTS Couple arrested for attemped kidnapping of infant T he parents of a 3-week-old infant had a harrowing experience Saturday at a gas station in Bethlehem when a Jonesboro man calling on “Allah” allegedly tried to grab their baby from a car seat. The infant’s divorced par ents, Amy and Michael McIntyre, reside in other cities, but had met at the Kangaroo gas station at 634 Christmas Ave. to exchange their three children for a weekend visita tion. At 6:20 p.m., a stranger walked up to the father say ing, “Allah is great.” According to a report about the incident, the man began talking “crazy stuff repeat ing numerous times about ‘Allah.’” In response, Michael McIntyre told the children’s mother to drive away. Amy McIntyre was attempt ing to back out of her park ing space when the stranger walked behind her vehicle, opened a rear passenger door and while saying repeatedly that he had a “baby Allah,” grabbed the arms of the infant as two siblings watched. The infant’s father then tackled the stranger, who let go of the infant’s arms, and the two men fought on the ground. A female passenger in the man’s car came over and tried to pull McIntyre off the alleged kidnapper. The pair then hurried to their 1998 sil ver Jeep. A customer attempt ed to block the Jeep with his truck, but the vehicle pulled out of the parking lot and headed toward Hwy. 316. Then, a few moments later, the Jeep inexplicably returned. Deputies arrived at the scene and arrested both the man and the woman. They charged 26-year- old Basit Olayinka Dawodu of 330 Arrowhead Blvd. in Jonesboro with kidnapping, entering an auto or other motor vehicle with intent to commit a felony, and three counts of cruelty to children in the 1st degree. They charged his passen ger, Yolanda Janice Bennett, 26, of 2309 Summer Ct. in Jonesboro, with kidnapping. She told deputies that she had been Dawodu’s girlfriend for a year and a half and that he had been talking about “Allah” that day and had been acting different than normal. Deputies searching Dawodu’s vehicle found his Nigerian passport in the glove box, an expired Massachusett’s driver’s license and a valid Georgia driver’s license. Dawodu and Bennett were booked into the Barrow County Detention Center. OTHER ARRESTS Barrow County Sheriff’s deputies arrested 27 other peo ple Dec. 22-28.

INSURANCE Barrow County Farm Bureau 284 Hwy. 211 N.W. ‘Winder, GA 30680 770-867-2188 Boys, ages 8, 10, arrested by Auburn Police Dept. Three boys, two of them 8 and 10, were arrested by Auburn police officers the day after Christmas for name-calling and fighting. According to a police incident report, the 10-year-old boy, from Loganville, was skateboarding in front of his mother’s Auburn apartment building on Mount Moriah Road when there was some name calling. A 14-year-old boy then allegedly told his 8-year-old brother to go hit the 10-year-old. The younger boy did that, causing some redness and slight bruising under his left eye. The 10-year-old pushed back, but the 8-year-old tackled him to the ground and hit him several more times before the older boy could get away and tell his mother. The mother called Auburn police. After talking to the boys, the officer decided to charge all three. Two were charged with disorderly conduct and the third, apparently the youngest, was charged with simple battery. “Both parties (adults and children) were made aware of these charges and were advised that they would receive a letter from the Department of Juvenile Justice as to a court date for the charges,” states the incident report.

Winder woman dies in wreck BY SUSAN NORMAN A Winder woman was among 24 people killed on Georgia roads during the Christmas holiday weekend. Ann Marguerite Overbey, 35, died Dec. 26 in a single vehicle wreck on Pierce Road just west of Winder. Georgia State Patrol Trooper Chris Matthews said in an interview that the victim was a front-seat passenger in a vehicle driven by her husband, Nicolas Stephan Overbey. He and two children in the backseat had minor injuries. “The vehicle was traveling south on Pierce Road, and the driver was negotiating a curve and traveled off the west shoulder and lost control," Matthews said. “The vehi cle struck several pine trees and overturned and ejected Mrs. Overbey. They transpor ted her to B arrow Regional Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead." Matthews said charges are pending the outcome of an investigation by the state patrol’s Gainesville- based Specialized Collision Reconstruction Team. Holiday traffic fatalities statewide exceeded predic tions for the long Christmas weekend. The state patrol on Monday announced that 24 people had died and that there were 3,325 crashes statewide bet ween 6 p.m. Christmas Eve and midnight Sunday. In 2007, there were 18 deaths during the same period. The state patrol had predicted 19 deaths this Christmas. “For the second straight holiday travel period, drizzle over pails of the state kept roads wet and contributed to a higher than expected num ber of traffic crashes,” states a Dec. 29 press release. The next holiday tra vel period begins at 6 p.m. Wednesday, which is New Year’s Eve, and ends at midnight Sunday.
