The AJC reports that DeKalb Police have a warrant out for Todd Leslie Thompson, who is suspected in upwards of 20 burglaries along East Lake Road near Ponce de Leon Ave.

Here’s a bit more info from the AJC article on the 42 year-old suspect…

…police think Thompson has been breaking into homes in that area over the last three months, taking jewelry, flatware and tools. Investigators said they think he enters each residence by breaking exterior windows.

Investigators said Thompson may be homeless and uses a bicycle to get around.

Looks like Decatur’s newest Irish pub – with a VERY red exterior – up on the Square, Mac McGee’s, is now open for business!

Probably a good idea.  I can’t imagine anyone trying to run on this ice.

The city’s Cheryl Burnette writes in…

The Decatur High School Run With the Dogs that was scheduled for tomorrow morning has been postponed until Saturday, January 16th.

Thanks to Amanda for reminding me about FFAF!  With all the snow-porting going on, it completely slipped my mind.

Get to it!

UPDATE: The AJC’s Jamie Gumbrecht alerts us of this update:  “Regarding reports of a 20-car accident at Clairmont and Mason Mill Road, state Department of Transportation officials and DeKalb police say there were a series of stalls, but no physical accident. The vehicles are off to the side.”

I bet it’s because of that damn big hill in front of the VA hospital.
