Disorderly or indecent conduct, Country Lane MHP, Ludowici
A county bus driver informed deputies that while she was unloading students at the Country Lane bus stop, a man approached the bus door to ask her about a student who rides on the bus. She said the man did not identify himself by name but said he was the uncle of a Long County High School student. Although he was asked to step away from the bus he continued to argue with the driver and blocked the students from getting off the bus. When he finally moved away, he got into a car and drove the car within six-feet of the passenger side of the bus. The driver told deputies he suddenly stepped on the gas, spinning his wheels and pulled away at an excessive speed. All of the disruption was recorded on the bus’ videotape, which was reviewed by the deputies.

Dangerous drug/elder abuse
William Smith Road, Ludowici
Sheriff’s deputies and representatives of the Long County Department of Family and Children Service Adult Protection Services are investigating a report of an elderly woman who may be neglected and abused by family members. A doctor from Liberty Regional Medical Center reported he believes family members were illegally taking the woman’s pain medication from her and selling them. The doctor cited a recent visit the woman had to the emergency room and the manner in which the family behaved during her stay. The family also refused to get the woman when she was released and had to be driven home by hospital personnel. When they arrived at her home, the doctor reported the family was acting as if her return was a nuisance.
