Naked Man Walking on Trail Charged with Public Indecency
More of the strange stuff police officers around North Georgia were up against recently.

>Β Nude walking: A man found walking around naked on a walking trail near a Norcross apartment complex didnβt seem too fazed by a Gwinnett County Police officerβs interest in finding out what he was doing. When the officer approached and identified himself, the man picked up a cup from the ground and poured water over his head, according to the police report. He was advised to put his clothes back on, and was then charged with public indecency and public intoxication.
>Β The cheese did him in:Β It was βcheese residueβ on the face of a Winder man that led to a shoplifting charge at a grocery store. The man was reportedlyΒ seen putting a package of cheese in his jacketΒ and then entering the restroom. He was found in one of the stalls withΒ crumbs on his face and leftover cheese floating in the toilet.
>Β Warning shot: Oconee County Sheriffβs deputies investigating a report of gunfire found a 66-year-old man who said he fired his shotgun into the air βto scare the witches away.β His guns were turned over to his son for safe-keeping.

>Β Hereβs a good one: A Grayson man, who was stopped for rear-ending a car at a red light and then leaving the scene, told police it didnβt happen that way. Instead, he said the car in front of him backed into his car. The man's story might have been more believable if he hadnβt left the scene, then pull a U-turn in somebodyβs front yard. When police asked why he left the scene, he said he didnβt think it was that big of a deal. The man, who had an outstanding arrest warrant against him, also tested above the legal limit for alcohol.
>Β Cold medicated: A 26-year-old man was found stumbling, slurring his speech and unable to think clearly when Lawrenceville Police stopped him in a Wendyβs parking lot. But he registered a zero on a police-administered Alco-senor test. Why did he appear to be intoxicated? He admitted he had taken 32 cold-medicine tablets to get high. It apparently worked.
