The Dawson County Sheriff’s Office charged Richard Rolomas Landrum II, 52, with rape and driving under the influence. The alleged incidents occurred on separate days. A deputy responded to a “possibly impaired driver” at a residence off of Ga. 9 in Dawsonville around Landrum 12:30 p.m. on Nov. 3, according to an arrest report. At the time of his arrest, Landrum was driving his car with one passenger, a person over 98 years old. Two days later, DCSO issued a warrant for Landrum’s arrest regarding the rape charge.

Drive Electric Georgia hosts electric car show Jacob Smith jsmith@dawsonnews.com Drive Electric Georgia, alongside the North Georgia Conservation Coalition, hosted an electric car show at the Dawsonville Farmers Market Pavillion on Saturday, Nov. 13 to inform local citizens about electric cars. According to NGCC founder Bette Holland, around 60 people showed up to the event and heard people discuss the advantages of driving electric and how they could benefit local communi ties. The event lasted from 11 a.m. through 2 p.m. with cars such as Teslas and Nissan Leafs with their hoods open for people to see how they work. Most drivers stood outside their car and were willing to answer any ques tions people might have. “I did not know much about electric cars, so I thought the show might be a good idea,” Nathan Womack of Dahlonega said. “Turned out to be pretty informative.” Drive Electric Georgia started in October 2020 with a goal of doubling the amount of electric cars in use in the state. According to their website, 15,300 electric cars are currently regis tered in the state with 1,379 charging stations holding 3,420 charging ports. The North Georgia Conservation Coalition will begin planning for Earth Day 2022 at the Bowen Arts Center on Tuesday, Nov. 16 at 4:30 p.m. No other events like the electric car show have been scheduled yet, but could be returning in the near future. 0 PRESENTA % * 1^ | CENA GRATUITA PARA LA COMUNIDAD EN CARAVANA CELEBRANDO EL DfA DE GRACIAS LUNES 22 DE NOVIEMBRE 2021 DE 5:00 PM A 7:00PM * VETERANS MEMORIAL PARK GYMNASIUM 186 RECREATION ROAD DAWSONVILLE, GEORGIA PARA PRIORIZAR LA SEGURIDAD DE LOS CIUDADANOS Y VOLUNTARIOS, TODOS LOS ASISTENTES PERMANECERAN EN SUS VEHICULOS PATRONCINADO POR <§!
