Thank you for posting this John !! Hopefully, the 7 felony charges will keep him off the streets for awhile, but does this mean that he has to appear in Dunwoody Municipal Court for the 5 misdemeanor charges, or will he answer to both in Dekalb? We should have a "shame" wall with mug shots and a list of convictions, and appear in court with "Stay out of Dunwoody" signs for criminals like this! And he should be liable for the damages caused to the police cars. Thank God he didn't hurt anyone...

While "There Is No Such Thing As A Free Tank", City of Dunwoody acquired the $215K Lenco Bearcat armored personnel carrier at ZERO cost through a grant described more fully in the ink below.

I hope that our officers never have to deploy in this vehicle, but being prepared is better than being at risk.
