According to a spokesperson with the Georgia State

Comer man killed in

A Madison County man was killed in an early morning
accident Thursday in Hall County, when the car he was
driving collided with a horse that had wandered into the
roadway.
George Satterfield, 56, Comer, died when his Nissan
Sentra struck a horse at 5:54 a.m. on Hwy. 129 between
Smallwood Road and Gaines Mill Road. Satterfield was
pronounced dead at the scene.

windshield and into the vehicle.
Attempted armed robbery
reported at Food Mart
Someone reportedly attempted to rob the Food Mart
Convenience Store on Hwy. 98 near the Madison/Jackson
County line early Tuesday morning.
According to the incident report, the store clerk on duty
around 5:40 a.m. told Deputy Mark Jerome that she was
doing paperwork in the store office when she received a
phone call asking her if she was the one who drove the blue
car in the parking lot. When she replied she was, the caller,
who she said sounded like a black male, allegedly told her
that “she better take the money bag outside and throw it by
the restaurant dumpster.” He added that he “had a friend
watching her with a gun and that he would shoot her if she
did not do what he said.” He then proceeded to tell her to
“not put the phone down and hurry up and bring the money
bag outside by the dumpster.”
As she threw the money by the dumpster, she reportedly
told a man walking into the restaurant that she had been
robbed and asked him to call police. The man reportedly
told Deputy Jerome that he saw a man with a white shirt
getting into a blue Toyota in the parking lot next door and
ran after it to get the tag number, but the car sped off down
Cody Fowler Road toward Neese Commerce Road. He also
stated he thought he had seen the vehicle before and told the
deputy the name of the man who drives a car like it.
According to Sheriff Kip Thomas, the deputy found the
bank bag and cash still laying by the dumpster where the
clerk reportedly left it.
