A 53-year-old man, Bobby Lee Hart Junior, has been arrested in Paulding County and is suspected of being a serial rapist who assaulted multiple women over the past two decades across Paulding, Douglas, and Cobb counties. Held without bond in Cobb County Jail with a hold from Douglas County, Hart faces serious charges including rape, felony assault, and false imprisonment. A planned joint press conference was canceled due to scheduling conflicts, but authorities urge anyone who may have been victimized to contact local victim advocates or the Family Violence Crisis Hotline.

A ten-month-old girl, Violet, is home after a year in the hospital — thanks to a life-saving heart transplant that gave her a second chance at a normal life.

A road rage incident in Smyrna escalated violently when a 50-something driver was allegedly pistol-whipped multiple times by Freddrick Hammonds after stopping to confront tailgating.

A 69-year-old Atlanta woman, Janice Daley, and her disabled son Richard—suffering from stage four kidney disease—are trapped in unbearable heat after two years of ignored AC repair requests. With no cooling, they avoid lights and can’t even cook, relying on fans to survive. Richard’s health has deteriorated; he’s lost 18 pounds, and his doctor blames the heat. A July inspection confirmed the unit wasn’t working, and management was given 30 days to fix it—repairs are now expected to be completed today. Atlanta Housing says they’re actively overseeing the fix and awaiting confirmation the unit is fully operational.
