Sept. 30: Simple battery — A school bus driver will be filing a report after two of his Snelson-Golden Middle School bus riders allegedly got into a fight. One of the kids said he accidentally hit the other boy with his back pack as he exited the bus.
The child said the other boy then turned around and hit him multiple times. The other boy said he did get hit in the back of the head but couldn’t tell if it was intentional or not so he hit back in self defense.

After the deputy stopped, a man came out of the woods and said he had stopped to use the restroom. He then said he met the woman to give her a ride.
The woman said she had called the man to ask for a ride home.
She agreed to a search of the vehicle and to remove everything in her pockets. Her pockets contained a glass pipe with burn marks later determined to be crack cocaine. A metal pipe was found between the seats and had traces of crack cocaine.
She then told the officer she had been smoking the drug at a home on Baconton Road but didn’t remember the address. She said both pipes belonged to her, so the man was released.
