Gwinnett police announced that car break-ins are on the increase. They say that cars are being struck in and around at the aquatic center area on Rockbridge Road in Lilburn. “Middle of the day quick smash through the window,” Gwinnett Police Cpl. Jake Smith said. “People are grabbing what is just left out, or the property they have seen them load into the trunk.”

I was paid a visit today, at my home, by Michael Allen Buckner who has an extensive arrest record for theft by deception. He came to my door asking for gas money or gas stating that he lived around the corner and had run out. I told him that I recognized him and he hurriedly left. He was driving a dark blue Jeep Cherokee 4×4 with a heavily damaged front end leaving the radiator exposed. I believe the tag number was BQZ 5117.

I immediately called Gwinnett County Police at 770-513-5700 to report the incident. Officer Hall with GCPD arrived at my home within just a few minutes to take my statement. I provided him the postings from this website along with his mug shot and data. Officer Hall stated that there was a flyer of Michael Allen Buckner circulating around the precinct and that they were pursuing him. Officer Hall stated that anyone spotting him should call 9-1-1 immediately.

   I guess the question begs,… jacketed, semi-jacketed or hollow points?

   From what I gather there would be another attempt at the stadium the following morning. If weather doesn’t permit then they’ll try that same evening at the stadium. If that doesn’t work out they move to the gym, but seating would be restricted. But this is hearsay and not the gospel.

This is an alert as reported by a Garner Rd resident on 02/28/11:

This morning, a man (caucasion, blonde, 40ish, well dressed) knocked on our door at 7:15 AM.  I live off Garner Rd., Mt Park area of Lilburn.  His story was that his son is sick with asthma and he needed money to buy his medicine because he left his wallet at church yesterday.  I did not give him money, and he drove off very quickly when my husband pulled up in our driveway after taking our son to school.  After I told my husband the story, he drove off looking for him and found him in the neighborhood behind us ( Beech Forest ?) off Garner , and he was approaching someone else’s door.  My husband pulled in behind him  and wrote his tag number down.  The man rushed toward my husband very nervously asking what he was doing, and my husband let him know that he would be calling the police and reporting his suspicious behavior.  He told my husband he was just looking for gas money and he rushed off in his car.

My husband did call the police.  He was driving a late model, dark blue, Jeep Cherokee 4×4. 

If someone meeting this description comes to your door, call 911 first, then follow up with the non-emergency number (770) 513-5700 if you can identify him.

Last Monday the Lilburn City Council approved an intergovernmental agreement with Gwinnett County for the design and construction of a new city hall-library complex.

The agreement outlines how costs would be shared between the city and county for the 44,000-square-foot facility, the first of its kind in Gwinnett County, which is to be located on a five-acre site at Main and Church streets. The first floor would be reserved for the 20,000-square-foot library, with the municipal headquarters filling out the rest.

A Mayor’s Update Meeting, focusing primarily on the proposed Big League Dreams project, will be held on Thursday, October 21 at 7 PM in the City Hall auditorium. This meeting will include updates about the market analysis, financial feasibility and engineering studies.

An excerpt from the proposed sports complex fact sheet:

• What is included in the proposed sports complex?
The sports complex would be primarily a ball park for softball and baseball travel leagues consisting of six replica fields, restaurant(s), concessions and an indoor sports/event facility. The complex would be owned by the City of Lilburn and operated by a company called Big League Dreams (BLD). BLD would return a percentage of the profit to the City. After 30 years, the operating agreement would end and the City could operate the park. The park would host tournaments on the weekends and league play during the week. The park fields and indoor facility could also host concerts and community functions. The park would be open free to the community during the weekdays before 6:00 p.m. Admission to the park evenings and weekends would be $3.00 for patrons thirteen and older.

• Where would the sports complex be located?
The complex would be located on Indian Trail Road on the site of the current Jackson Creek Water Treatment Plant, which is scheduled to close September, 2011.

Recovery Zone Economic Development Bonds, aka stimulus bonding capacity, aka stimulus funds… Gwinnett County has been designated a recovery zone by the federal government and allocated $62 million in bonding capacity. Lilburn, Snellville and Berkeley Lake will split the remainder of these funds as decided by the Board of Commissioners last Tuesday.

Berkeley Lake will receive $2 million to aid in dam repairs sustained in last year’s flooding. Snellville is to receive $6.6 million which it intends to use to revitalize its downtown area and to purchase a 10.6 acre tract of land recently foreclosed upon.

Lilburn was granted over $8.6 million for use with a new sports complex deal (see our September 17th post “Lilburn Considering $20 Million Sports Complex“) with Big League Dreams. According to the Gwinnett Daily Post, “another $20 million of the county’s share of recovery zone facility bonds has been allocated to the city’s Big League Dreams idea”.
