| Thieves steal 28 manhole covers |
 Could this be a job for "Iron Man"?
The Cherokee County Sheriff's Office is investigating the thefts of manhole covers, which it believes are being recycled for their cast iron.
Fifteen manhole covers were lifted Tuesday night, bringing the total to 28 since April 29. All were stolen in the Sixes Road and Ridge Road area. Some were in subdivisions and others were along Holly Street, which is a fairly well-traveled road.

| Elderly Cherokee man attacked at home |
An elderly Cherokee County man was attacked at his home Sunday afternoon after he opened his door to two strangers.
The incident happened on Kellogg Creek Road, near Old Alabama Road, about 1 p.m., said Sgt. Jay Baker, a spokesman for the Cherokee County Sheriff's Office.
Two men knocked on his door, and when he opened it, they attacked him, Baker said. The 79-year-old man was kicked in the ribs repeatedly. The suspects, described as white males in their late teens or early 20s, took his wallet and ran off. It's possible they entered a small white SUV, Baker said.

| Scammers distract, steal from Cobb, Cherokee homes |
Here's the scam: one man distracts a homeowner, another man walks into the house, rummages through her purse and steals her checks and anything else that's easy to get.
It's happened — with slight variations — in Cherokee and Cobb counties recently and officials are asking homeowners, particularly older women, to be careful when a stranger knocks on the door.
In Cherokee, investigators have a good lead — the drivers' license picture of a man who has cashed checks stolen from two homes, said Sgt. Jay Baker, a sheriff's office spokesman. The stolen checks are made out to Michael Smithers, who presented a Kentucky drivers license with a birth date of March 19, 1958.

| Fire destroys two boats docked at Lake Allatoona |
 No injuries were reported in a Monday night fire that destroyed two boats docked at a Lake Allatoona marina.
Cherokee County fire spokesman Tim Cavender said the blaze at the Victoria Marina was reported shortly before 11 p.m.
A fisherman participating in a fishing tournament on the lake "noticed an orange glow coming from one of the boats" and called 911, Cavender said. When firefighters arrived, they found two boats fully engulfed in flames at the end of a dock.

| Questions of the week |
 Lt. Steve:
I was driving up 400 and a cop stopped me for speeding. There was traffic to my right so I pulled over to the left against the median wall. The officer was agitated with me and I didn't like his attitude. I couldn't pull over to the right because of the traffic. What should I have done? Was I dumb to do that?
Dear Dummy:
Having been there myself, I'm guessing the officer was a bit on the agitated side knowing that he was about to be run over. The only thing that would fit in that lane is a clown car so I'm sure half of yours and the cop's car, which of course is behind yours and will be the first one hit, was sticking out there to be hit by one of our fine drivers who just may be on his or her cell phone, texting something insignificant that could have waited.
