Athens clamps down on electric
scooter firm after complaints
Associated Press
Amid concerns that electric
scooters are being dumped all over
Athens and pose a danger to the
public, the local government has
temporarily banned them.
Bird scooters will be grounded
following a recent decision by the
Athens-Clarke County Commis
sion, The Athens Banner-Herald
reported.
The scooters began showing up
on Athens sidewalks and streets in
August, and soon generated con
cerns about safety.
The biggest problem is that
users are “dumping them all over
the place,” Commissioner Andy
Herod said.
“They are making private profit
and the public is picking up the cost
of having to deal with this,” he said.
The University of Georgia
began impounding scooters left
on the campus soon after they
began arriving. As of the end of
last month, UGA was holding more
than 1,100 of the scooters, and had
assessed more than $500,000 in
fines and fees on the company.
The ban won’t affect a UGA
bicycle-sharing program, said
Commissioner Jerry NeSmith,
chairman of the county commis
sion’s legislative review com-
mittee.The ban is meant to be
temporary so that local officials
can draft rules for the scooters, the
newspaper reported.
Committee members believe
the technology is wanted and use
ful, NeSmith said. They expect
them to eventually return.
“It’s a good alternative form of
transportation,” he said. “That’s
not the issue. The issue is public
safety.”
The company that owns and
maintains the scooters received
10 days to remove them. Officials
intend to impound any Bird scoot
ers still lingering after that grace
period.
FBI: Man charged in kidnapping,
death of North Carolina teenager
Associated Press
LUMBERTON, N.C. — Police
have arrested and charged a man
with killing a 13-year-old girl who
was kidnapped last month from a
North Carolina mobile home park.
The FBI said early Saturday that
Michael Ray McLellan has been
charged in connection with the
kidnapping and murder of Hania
Noelia Aguilar. The announce
ment comes the same day that a
memorial service for Aguilar is set
to take place at a local high school.
The 34-year-old McLellan faces
first-degree murder, rape and
eight other felony charges. He’d
been released from prison in June
and was still on parole from a 2017
felony breaking and entering con
viction, according to the News &
Observer of Raleigh.
He was previously convicted
in 2007 of assault with a deadly
weapon and was released on
parole in 2016, the newspaper
reported.
He is being held without bond
in the Robeson County Detention
Center. He will appear in court at
the Robeson County Courthouse on
Monday.
McLellan was in custody at the
time of his arrest on charges unre
lated to the Aguilar case, police
said.
On Nov. 5, police said Aguilar
went outside to start a relative’s
SUV to prepare to leave for the bus
stop when a man forced her into
the vehicle and fled.
Her disappearance sparked an
intensive search. Drones, dogs,
and scores of searchers on foot
spent the following weeks comb
ing the area. Police found her body
several weeks later in a body of
water about 10 miles south of the
mobile home park where she was
kidnapped.
ORAWFORPVII I F
Poultry producer
expanding into
smallest county
A Georgia-based poultry pro
ducer is expanding with a new
facility planned for the state’s
smallest county.
Harrison Poultry Inc. recently
began construction on a $70 mil
lion feed mill and hatchery in
Taliaferro County. Gov. Nathan
Deal’s office announced the
expansion, which the company
says will create 102 jobs.
Deal’s office said in a news
release that the new facility will
enable Harrison Poultry to add
up to 165 new broiler houses and
produce up to 18,000 tons of feed
weekly.
Taliaferro County has roughly
1,700 total residents, the smallest
population of any of Georgia’s 159
counties. Harrison Poultry’s new
operation will be located in Craw-
fordville, about 55 miles west of
Augusta.
Harrison Poultry is headquar
tered in Barrow County, where
the company was founded in 1958.
GREENVILLE S.C.
Authorities identify teen
struck, killed by vehicle
South Carolina authorities have
identified a teenager killed over
the weekend after being struck by
a vehicle.
South Carolina Highway Patrol
spokesman Bill Rhyne tells media
outlets 16-year-old Shakira Shylen
Hampton was sitting in the road
way on State 81 around 6:30 a.m.
Saturday when she was struck by
a 2015 Chevrolet Cruz.
Coroner’s office officials say
Hampton had been interfering
with traffic and causing vehicles
to move around her at times.
Rhyne says the teen died at the
scene. The driver of the vehicle
that hit her was not hurt. The
crash is still under investigation.
BIRMINGHAM, ALA
1-20/59 to close in
Birmingham in January
Birmingham’s traffic could get
a lot worse beginning next month.
The Alabama Department of
Transportation says it will shut
down Interstate 20/59 through
the state’s largest city beginning
in mid- to late January 2019.
Al.com reports the move
comes as crews rebuild the aging
highway overpasses through
downtown.
Transportation officials will lay
out detours for vehicles traveling
through town. But they are asking
drivers to avoid the downtown
area if at all possible, particularly
by using Interstate 459.
The road will close for an esti
mated 14 months during the con
struction work.
That means the highway could
be shut down through March
2020.
A contractor can make an
additional $250,000 per day by
finishing early, and it has to pay
the same about in penalties if the
work is late.
ATANTA
2 shot after party at
hotel near CNN Center
Authorities say a “highly
intoxicated” man shot two peo
ple inside a downtown Atlanta
hotel that is connected to CNN’s
headquarters.
Atlanta police spokeswoman
Officer Stephanie Brown tells
the Atlanta Journal-Constitution
that the victims had been trying
to help 31-year-old Sedarius Den
nis back to his room after a party
when Dennis shot them early
Sunday.
The shooting occurred on the
28th floor of the Omni Atlanta
Hotel at CNN Center. Authori
ties say a 31-year-old man and a
37-year-old man were hospital
ized and are in stable condition.
Police say Dennis was cap
tured by CNN security personnel
in a nearby parking deck. He is
charged with two counts each of
aggravated assault and posses
sion of a weapon during the com
mission of a felony. It’s unclear
whether he has an attorney who
could comment.
