Clayton deputy nabbed
in prostitution sting
JONESBORO (AP) A
county corrections officer
has been arrested in a pros
titution sting after being
accused of propositioning an
undercover officer.
Christopher Morris
Johnson, 40, was arrested
Friday night after riding up
on a bicycle to proposition
the officer, Clayton County
Assistant Police Chief Jeff
Turner said.
“He showed up on a bicy
cle and solicited one of our
undercovers” before fleeing
on foot from police, Turner
said.
The sting was part of a
two-day operation that also
targeted several massage
parlors in the area. The vice
sting used two decoy pros
titutes and led to about 20
arrests.
Johnson had been work
ing for the Clayton County
Sheriffs Office for about
three weeks. Clayton
County Sheriff Victor Hill
said he will be fired.
Civil War
battlefields fight
vandalism
ATLANTA (AP) At
the Chickamauga and
Chattanooga National
Military Park on the
Georgia-Tennessee state
line, as well as in many
other Civil War battlefields,
rangers have to wage a fight
against vandals.
Broken statues, defaced
monuments and stolen art
work are a periodic problem
plaguing the historic areas.
“How could anybody
feel it’s an appropriate
thing to do?” said Sam
Weddle, the chief ranger
at Chickamauga. “It’s an

atrocity.”
In the North Georgia
park headquarters at Fort
Oglethorpe, damaged monu
ments are collected in the
maintenance compound _ a
headless Union soldier stat
ue, parts of two damaged
monuments for Maryland
troops, a missing statue
from a Michigan monu
ment.
“For whatever reason,
Michigan seems to be our
most vandalized monu
ments,” park ranger Jim
Szyjkowski said. “I don’t
know if somebody had a
vendetta against them or
what, but they took a beat
ing.”
Told about this, a
visitor from Port Huron,
Mich, smiled and said,
“Apparently, there’s still a
grudge going on.”
Other visitors seemed
more upset.
Javier Torres, a 40-year
old from California who
served in the U.S. Army and
is a naturalized U.S. citizen
from Mexico, was outraged.
“The men who died here,
they fought for everybody.

It’s so beautiful here, and
for people to vandalize this
place, it’s like spitting on
it,” Torres said.
In the fall of 1863, thou
sands of soldiers died in
the battles for control over
Chattanooga, whose rail
roads were a lifeline to cen
tral Georgia and Alabama,
where the South’s indus
tries lay.
Vandals have also tar
geted other Civil War sites.
At Gettysburg National
Military Park, a driver hit a
monument a week ago, said
park spokeswoman Katie
Lawhon. She said authori
ties identified the driver
from auto parts left at the
scene and he’s facing pos
sible charges.
Other vandals use paint
ball. In 2003, about two
dozen monuments, mark
ers and plaques were spray
painted on Veterans Day at
the Chickamauga park.
“This wasn’t just spray
painting graffiti,” Weddle
said. “It was a variety of
words, phrases that touched
on just about every ethnic
insult you can imagine.”
