ATLANTA (AP): FBI: Atlanta No. 1 in per capita crime.
Fresh statistics designated Atlanta as the nation’s big-city crime
capital for the second year in a row. The FBI statistics for 1989,
released Sunday, showed Atlanta with the highest number of serious
crimes reported per 1,000 population of any big city — those with at
least 300,000 residents. The Atlanta Figure was 210 per 1,000. Miami
ranked second with 189 per 1,000; Dallas was third with 168 per
1,000. The crimes counted include murder, rape, robbery, aggravated
assault, burglary, larceny and auto theft. Similar crimes counted in
1988 also ranked Atlanta first, followed by Fort Worth, Texas and
Dallas. The new report also showed Atlanta with a 13 percent
increase in its murder rate as killings rose from 217 to 246,
outdistancing an increase of 7 percent in the South and 4 percent
nationwide.
AUGUSTA (AP): Man charged in drive-thru shooting.
An Augusta man was charged witn murder in the killing of a
customer ahead of him at a drive-in fast food restaurant Monday after
lie turned himself over to Richmond County authorities. SherifFs
deputies said Gary Scott, 23, surrendered at the Richmond County
Law Enforcement Center and was held without bond. He is accused of
killing Dale Peeler, 30, a nightclub singer who got out of his car to
argue with two people who were blowing their horn after he paused to
check his order in the drive-through lane at a Krystal restaurant
south of Augusta last week. Richmond County Capt. J. Wilhelm said
the shooting took place about 2:45 a.m. Thursday. He said Peeler had
walked back to the other car to see what the problem was when one
occupant got out and exchanged words with Peeler. He said the other
occupant then got out and shot Peeler twice.
CARTERSVILLE (AP): Snake bites religious handler. A
man bitten on the jaw while handling a rattlesnake during a religious
ceremony was listed in critical condition Monday at Humana
Hospital. Bartow County Sheriff Don Thurman said the snake was
taken to the hospital so doctors could determine the correct remedy.
The snake was returned to the church at the request of a member of
the congregation. Sheriffs department reports said Arnold Loveless,
48, of Rome was bitten Sunday at the Church of Jesus Christ near
Rome. The report said Loveless removed a copperhead from a wooden
crate and began praying over it, removing a rattlesnake from the
same box as he did so. Witnesses said Loveless began to pray and that
fellow worshipers laid hands on him in an attempt to heal the bite.
They said emergency medical workers were not notified until
Loveless became violently ill.

TBILISI, U.S.S.R. (AP): Georgians want Red Army out.
Thousands of Georgians chanting “Occupiers! Occupiers!” rallied
outside a Soviet military base Monday, capping a day of protests
recalling a bloody clash that sparked their republic’s independence
movement. The day of commemorations drew almost 200,000 people
to three separate rallies. Soldiers assaulted a peaceful pro-
independence protest in front of government buildings in Tbilisi on
April 9, 1989, with shovels and gas. Nineteenpeople died. The attack
unleashed bitter criticism across the country. Early Monday morning,
about 100,000 people gathered in candlelight on Rustavelli
Boulevard, the site of the clash. About 70,000 more nearly filled the
republic’s main stadium Monday evening in a similar rally. At an
intersection outside the walled military base, about 10,000 people
gathered in the afternoon and shouted through megaphones for the
soldiers to abandon their posts.
