Friday, December 25,2015 Lake Oconee News Page A7 GREENE COUNTY GREENE COUNTY Man charged with beating girlfriend With several warrants in Ogletho rpe County and battery claims from his girlfriend, a Greensboro man was arrested on numerous charges. Jimmy Morrison Epps Jr., 3351 Cunningham Road, was arrested Dec. 16 and charged with false imprison ment, battery and a warrant arrest. Epps’ girlfriend called 911 after reportedly being awakened by him punching her in the face while she was still asleep, according to the report. He reportedly thought she had snitched on him. Epps was arrested at his home after his girlfriend granted permission for Greene County Sheriffs deputies to use forced entry. Epps was then arrested on previous warrants. During an interview with GCSO Captain Donnie Harrison, Epps’ girlfriend ex plained her side of the story. “The first thing Capt. Harrison noticed was that (Epps’ girlfriend) had a black ened left eye that was swollen shut, the entire left side of her face was swollen, both of her lips were swollen and split open and she had dried blood on the left side of her face,” according to the incident report. “(She) was disheveled and was wearing what appeared to be her pajamas.” Harrison also reportedly noticed Epps’ girlfriend walked with a notice- Epps able limp. “(His girlfriend) stated that she did not have a phone and that she could not call for help,” according to the report. Once Epps fell asleep, his girlfriend “made a break for it” and walked to her grand mother’s home and called for help. She reportedly said he would not allow her to leave the home even after she begged to go. Harrison served Epps with the additional warrants at the Greene County Jail, where he was being held on his previous warrants. - Jackie Gutknecht MORGAN COUNTY Thanksgiving harangue lands offender in jail Near 3 p.m. Thanksgiving Day, Madison Police Officer Adam Hart called at an Overlook Drive address to respond to a fight call. As he exited his vehicle, the householder approached Hart and told him she had been away from home and, upon returning, found Kourtney Alexa Bishop, 21, of Farm ington Road, Madison, inside her residence arguing with her daughter. Advised to leave, Bishop did but then immediately barged back into the house, the householder reported. At that point, Bishop began to argue with her, the householder said. Having heard one side of the story, Hart asked Bishop to present her version, but still yelling and cursing at the householder from the street, Bishop would not stand down to tell her side. Hart advised Bishop it is against the law to create a scene shouting expletives in public, especially within earshot of children. Hart noticed small children outdoors two houses down and adults coming outside to learn what all the yelling was about. Hart had Bishop provide her driver’s license, and while he ran her infor mation through the law enforcement dispatcher, Hart advised Bishop to leave off with the cursing and go sit in her car. When she walked toward her vehicle but turned back and started a fresh harangue directed at the house holder, Hart arrested Bishop for disor derly conduct. Before Hart left to take Bishop to jail, the householder got in touch with Bishop’s father by telephone, and the officer talked with the dad. Hart first apologized for interrupting the man’s Thanksgiving. He told the dad where he could bail his daughter out of jail and what the bond amount would be. Bishop’s father said he was out of town but would contact someone to bond his daughter out. Hart recorded the holiday fuss in an official report, filed with Madison Police. —Jeff Warren Crime Reports GREENE COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE Frank Benjamin Bracken, 200 Meadowbury Drive, Columbia, S.C. was arrest ed Dec. 7 and charged with violation of the Georgia Controlled Substance Act.

Anthony Antonio Nobel, 33, 1770 Allen Circle, Greensboro was charged Monday, Dec. 14 with felony statutory rape, according to Chief Ossie Mapp. The alleged rape was first reported to police on Monday, Dec. 7, by Greene County High School Coun selor Torri Merritt. Merritt said a student reported that the incident occurred two weeks earlier on Friday, Nov. 20, 2015. When contacted by phone on Tuesday, a man identifying himself as Nobel denied the accu sation, telling the Lake Brown Continued from A4 Destiny Velez, formerly known as Miss Puerto Rico. However, just like Harvey, she took to Twitter- ville and shot herself in the ruby slipper. Velez smoked fat-boy filmmaker Michael Moore in particular and Muslims in general with some anti-Islamic tweets. Velez tweeted out some unflattering references to mosques and gas stations. Unfortunately, she had her crown snatched away faster than Grasshopper took the pebble out of the Master’s hand on “Kung Fu.” I must admit to saying some things I’m not proud of saying about Muslims. Hopefully I can make that up by telling a quick, feel-good Muslim story I also read on the Internet. Oconee News the charge is “not true.” He would not make any further comments until he could discuss the situation with a lawyer. The Greensboro Police incident report indicates Nobel was arrested at the city police station. It’s not clear whether or not he turned himself in after hearing about the out standing warrant. A press release from GPD said “...during the course of the investigation it was de termined that Noble did in fact engage in sexual inter course with the 15-year-old minor.... Chief Mapp would like to thank all officers involved for a job well done.” -Mark Engel According to MSN News, a group of Muslim passen gers defended Christian passengers during an ex tremist attack on a bus in Kenya this week. Members of the al-Shabab militant organization shot at a bus in Mandera, Kenya, forcing it to stop. Once the militants boarded the bus, they attempted to separate Muslim and Christian pas sengers, intending to kill the Christians on board, the BBC reported. ‘We even gave some non-Muslims our religious attire to wear in the bus so that they would not be identified easily. We stuck together tightly,” Abdi Mohamud Abdi, a Muslim passenger, told Reuters. In the future, let’s try to forgive old feuds and move forward. In the spirit of the season, I hope I don’t offend anybody by wishing every body Merry Christmas.
