Joshua Sullivan, 37, and Dylan Hall, 29, were arrested on April 9 for spray-painting 14 locations at the Delray Diner in Marietta, including politically charged messages like “F--- Trump” and “Israelites are evil.” Damages exceeded $500, and they also tagged a gas meter and bus stop awning. A police officer witnessed the pair tagging and taking a selfie. Both face charges including criminal damage and interference with government property. They were released on April 10 on $10,000 bonds.

STORY 3:   Cobb Sheriff's Employee Charged with Child Molestation, Fired 

Ivan Munoz, 44, a longtime Cobb County Sheriff’s Office employee, was fired after being arrested on two felony counts of aggravated child molestation. Munoz is accused of assaulting an 8-year-old girl twice in one day and is being held without bond. Sheriff Craig Owens terminated Munoz immediately upon learning of the charges, condemning the behavior as egregious and contrary to law enforcement values. Munoz had been with the department since 2000 as a criminal justice specialist.
