Today's riddle: Why did the girl pig break up with the boy pig? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Alpharetta, Forsyth crime: Drugs, fraud and a Flock assist (appenmedia.com) — Alpharetta police recently arrested an Atlanta man at a Georgia Lane hotel after a trespassing call led to the discovery of suspected meth and drug paraphernalia, and Flock cameras helped catch a Johns Creek driver wanted on Roswell shoplifting warrants. Nearby in Forsyth County, deputies handled a $15,000 phone scam targeting a Cumming woman and a drug-related traffic stop near Georgia 400.
2. Georgia man arrested for alleged threat to kill Hegseth, family if Pentagon chief didn't kill Chabad Jews (jns.org) — A Georgia man accused of posting violent threats against U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and demanding killings at a Chabad synagogue was arrested by Alpharetta police and booked into Fulton County Jail. He faces multiple counts related to terroristic threats, online dissemination of terrorism information, harassment, and stalking, with prior arrests noted and bond set at $10,000.
3. Finding Its Lane: Anchored by Georgia 400 Project, Spain's Acciona Lays Foundation for Growth in Alpharetta (globalatlanta.com) — Acciona has chosen Alpharetta as its U.S. headquarters, already employing about 65 people locally while leading the Georgia 400 express lanes project and expanding through a major acquisition of Cumming-based Vertical Earth. Company leaders say north Fulton's welcoming business climate and global connectivity are helping them blend international infrastructure expertise with strong Georgia relationships and long-term investment.
4. 'Not friends, it's family': North Georgia neighbors face breast cancer battle side-by-side (atlantanewsfirst.com) — Two Forsyth County neighbors who bonded over BRCA1-related cancer decisions are now training together for the Alpharetta Women's Half Marathon this November, after one completed treatment for aggressive breast cancer.
