Oconee blotter: Fired worker stashes cheesy tots; test driver never returns
The Oconee County Sheriff’s Office reported the following incidents:
GIFT CARDS: On March 4, Deputy Kevin Parker met with a 64-year-old Statham man who reported he received a telephone call that day from who he believed was an agent with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. The supposed agent told him his bank account was compromised and he needed to put $1,000 on two Target gift cards. The scammer also informed him his account had been linked to a major cocaine ring and he insisted he get the gift cards. The man purchased two $500 gift cards and gave the man the activation numbers, only to suspect later it was a scam.
Dog friendly, stroller friendly, free parking
This lesser-known path takes you right along the water but without the crowds and parking hassles. Start at the parking lot near the intersection of Sea World Drive and South Shores Parkway and follow the bike path straight toward the ocean. Along the way, you can take in the river views and cool breezes. When you reach the jetty, take a close look for the famous jetty cats who live among the rocks. When youâre done, go for ahi nachos and beer flights at Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens (2816 Historic Decatur Road, Liberty Station).
