TV, guitar stolen from church
Forsyth police are try
ing to determine who
burglarized two church
es and two hair salons in
the Sharp Street area in
the past week.
The crime wave started
the weekend of June
2-3 when someone
broke into the Jehovah
Shamma Church of God
and Marilyns Hair Em
porium, both on Sharp
Street. The thieves took
an air conditioning unit
out of Marilyns, said Inv.
Geoff Holtzclaw of the
Forsyth Police Depart
ment.
Then on the weekend
of June 9-10, thieves
struck again, breaking
into Forsyth Pentecos
tal Holiness Church on
Kynette Street and Supe
rior Hair at the corner of
MLK Drive and Sharp
Street.
They took a TV and
white electric guitar
from the Pentecosal
Holiness church and a
TV and hair clippers
from the salon, said
Holtzclaw.
Holtzclaw said he sus
pects the same person(s)
did all four robberies
since they are all in the
same area. If anyone has
information that may
help solve the crimes,
please call Holtzclaw at
993-1005.
Report: Mom told teens to avoid river
The mother of a teenager rescued from
the turbulent waters in High Falls on May
29 warned her son not to go to the park
because of the heavy rains and high water.
That according to a Department of
Natural Resources report on the incident
obtained by the Reporter last week.
Douglas Ellis and Miranda Scott, both
17, were questioned by DNR Cpl. Will
Smith the day after the rescue in the
Towaliga River.
Ellis told Smith that he and Miranda
went to his mothers workplace in Jackson
around 3:45 p.m. on Tuesday, May 29 to
share their plans to go to High Falls. Ellis
and his mother Vickie Walker both said
she warned them not to go to High Falls
State Park due to the high water.
But, Ellis told Smith, they decided to
ignore her advice and arrived in High
Falls around 4:20 p.m., parking at the gas
station next to the bridge. Ellis said they
walked across the bridge and down the
river trail, put their belongings on a rock
and entered the water. As they waded in,
said Ellis, they realized the current was
pushing them farther and farther from
the shore. When they realized how far
they were from land, said Ellis, it was too
late. They were pulled out into the swift
water where eventually they stabilized
themselves on rocks and called to park
visitors on the trail for help.
Ellis and Scott admitted seeing signs
warning them not to enter the water.
Asked why they ignored the signs, Ellis
said they had been going out on the rocks
for a while and that others did as well

every day.
Ellis and Scott were cited for trespassing
as Smith concluded they went to High
Falls with the intent of going into the
restricted waters despite knowing it was
not lawful, forcing an expensive rescue
operation.
