Last May, the Justice Dept, received a complaint from
Delaware State University, alleging that Liberty County
Sheriff’s Office discriminated against its student
athletes, coach, and driver when it conducted a racially
discriminatory traffic stop of a bus charted by the university. The sheriff’s office will
review its bias-free policing policies and develop data collection procedures.

Woman ’s remains found across 2 counties, husband charged
A woman’s dismembered remains were found dumped in two Georgia counties,
investigators said. Months later, her husband is charged in her death. Nicholas James
Kassotis, 40, was arrested May 12 in Lacaster, PA-more than 720 miles from where
hunters stumbled across his wife’s body at a hunting club in Riceboro late last year.
Authorities confirmed the remains were that of Mindi Mebane Kassotis, 40. The couple
was living near Savannah when Kassotis died.
The remains were found in Dec. 2022 in a wooded area of the Portal Hunting Club, which
spans Liberty and McIntosh Counties. The husband will be extradited to Georgia.

Shooting at apartments leads to lockdown of Bibb County school
An early Tuesday morning shooting in the Omiond Terrace neighborhood has caused a
precautionary lockdown of Bruce Elementary School in Bibb County. It also resulted in a
change of plans for their Field Day.
Nobody was harmed at the school but a message was shared with parents around 8:40 a m.
that the school had gone into a lockdown due to gunshots overheard in the neighborhood
around the school. The K-2 Field Day was moved indoors due to safety reasons and no
guests were allowed into the festivities.

Savannah business owner fears for safety after multiple issues with
homeless
A business owner in Savannah says homeless people are disrupting her store and
threatening her safety. Leah Bailey claims law enforcement and the city are not doing
enough to stop the issue, forcing her to take matters into her own hands.
Video footage shows what Bailey says is a homeless man stealing planters right outside
of Leah Bailey Interiors in downtown Savannah. It’s retail space and design studio next
door to each other. Bailey says she has only been at the location 2 months, and it has
been a constant struggle to keep the homeless away. She has taken to asking the homeless
to move along but that angers them, and she fears for her safety. “They have taken to
defecating on my building and blocking the entrance,” Bailey said in a recent interview.
Mother’s Day brunch met with protest in Savannah
Moon River has been hosting drag shows since 2020, and the owner says this past
Sunday’s Mother’s Day bmnch show was the first time they’ve ever received pushback.
The owner, John Pinkerton said he received multiple emails expressing concern about
the show advertising to families. There was a peaceful protest across the street from the
brewery during the event. Those who showed up say they were concerned with the fact
that kids could attend.
The event is a toned-down version of what is seen at a late night show. “If parents want to
bring their children to a paid ticket event, that’s their business.” Pinkerton said.

and said it was too late and I’d have to come
back tomorrow. When I came back upstairs,
Rhonda excitedly asked me how I did. I
had to tell her I couldn’t get them. Even
though I could see them in my mailbox,
the girl insisted it was past closing and she
wouldn’t give them to me. I’m going to
leave out some critical details and just say
that Rhonda, hollering in her Jersey accent,
stormed downstairs and came back with
my MAT scores. Back then apparently, they
didn’t take terroristic threats so seriously.
Arooj, although a native of Pakistan, was as
American as the rest of us in many respects.
She loved fast food, Harry Connick Jr,
and New York City but was also excited
about her future arranged marriage back
in Pakistan. I remember one night all of
us staying up late talking about boys. We
asked Arooj how she found her arranged
husband. She told us her father found him.
The rest of us being shallow 20-year-olds,
asked “Arooj, what if he’s ugly?” Arooj
looked at us like we were straight crazy
and replied, “my father would NEVER
pick someone ugly!” We stayed up many
nights together eating pizza and talking,
we four American Gen X girls trying to
comprehend something so foreign to us as
arranged marriage. I remember teaching
all of them how to properly slurp boiled
peanuts right out of the hull. Rebecca, the
painfully shy one, spent the better part of
those years shaking her head at all of us.
We learned to live together- with Arooj’s
odd prayer schedule, my equally odd
smelling boots, and coveralls fresh from the
UGA dairy bam, Rhonda’s yankee attitude
and Rebecca constantly telling all of us
to quit being so loud before we all got in
trouble.
Many of you will be sending the best part
of you off to college in the next few weeks.
There are plenty of things to stress about.
Don’t let one of those things be your kid’s
roommate. A perfect match doesn’t exist
and sometimes the more alike you are the
harder it is to get along.
Over the past 25 years. I’ve maintained
a close friendship with several friends I
met in the UGA College of Agriculture,
but I lost touch with all but one of those
girls from Soule Hall. None of them
became lifelong friends, mainly because
after graduation we scattered literally all
over the world. That doesn’t mean I don’t
think of them often and remember fondly
the hundred ways they each contributed to
my college learning experience. College
is about more than “book learning” and I
learned as much about life from my Soule
Hall girls as I did from many tenured
professors. Those were some of the best
years of my life and I’m thankful there was
no “survey” to detemiine our compatibility
or else we certainly never would’ve met,
and my college experience wouldn’t have
been nearly as rich. And even worse, those
girls may have gone their whole lives not
knowing how to eat a boiled peanut and
that would’ve been a real tragedy.
