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.

Suspicious Person Alert - Michael Allen Buckner

Share this post by email - 2 Comments - View And/Or Add A Comment »

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?

What happens in the event of rain?

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.

Suspicious Person Alert

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.

Tomorrow, the consulting firm hired to conduct the feasibility study on the Stone Mountain Tennis Complex will release its report. The findings will be announced at Wednesday’s 2:30 PM Evermore CID board meeting which is held at the complex located on Bermuda Road.

Bill Tunnell of Tunnell-Spangler-Walsh & Associates stated, “We’re making a strong case for why that stadium should not only remain a stadium, but actually be used as part of a redevelopment strategy there to revitalize the West Park Place area.”

Evermore CID Eliminates Director Position

Share this post by email - 3 Comments - View And/Or Add A Comment »

Yesterday, by a 4-3 vote, the Evermore CID eliminated David Stedman’s position of economic development director. Board member Dwight Harrison had declared that he had gathered enough signatures to also initiate recall proceedings against fellow board members Emory Morsberger and Don Robison.

Stedman had been heading a project called the Stone Mountain Athletic Recreational and Training (SMART) Center which would turn the empty Olympic facility into a destination tennis center. Adjacent properties would be used for sports recreation, training, retail, office and multifamily development. Transportation improvements were included the plan. Many of the developmental partners attended the meeting and left questioning the project’s status.

This is the second time Stedman has been fired by the Evermore CID. Stedman, who was originally hired in 2008, was fired at the end of that year by the CID’s former executive director, Brett Harrell. The board rehired Stedman in May 2009 during a meeting in which Harrell was fired.

Gary Custar and Jimmy Norton, two appointed members of the CID board have agreed to step down as soon as replacements can be found for them. Emory Morsberger had requested last month that all of the seven board members resign.

Dwight Harrison has tendered his resignation effective April of 2011. I believe that this make five that have already left or will soon be gone. Custar, Norton, Morsberger, Robison and now Harrison. They just added Garry Lapides by appointment from Snellville.
