A man out on probation for drug charges less than a year ago and a woman from Douglas were recently arrested following a search at a local apartment. On August 7, 2024, at around 1:00 PM, Detectives from the Coffee County Sheriff's Office Drug Unit were conducting a proactive narcotics patrol in Douglas. During their patrol, a detective spotted 30-year-old Christopher Lamar Hawkins, who had outstanding warrants for fleeing police and methamphetamine possession, driving a white 2021 Kia Sorento. Hawkins was stopped in front of apartment 203/204 on N Wheeler Ave, where two detectives approached him. Breanna Henderson, 33, then came out of apartment 203 to "investigate what was going on with Hawkins" and appeared to whisper with Hawkins during his arrest. The report states that Henderson, who temporarily lived with Hawkins, began whispering with him "presumably about nefarious activities due to Hawkins's previous history with drug distribution and evading law enforcement."

Michelle Obama has
never exactly been lacking in poise. It’s hard to think of a single moment
since she arrived on the national stage nearly 20 years ago that she visibly fumbled.
No doubt in private the former first lady has once or twice lost her cool, no
doubt her children have pushed her to the brink on occasion—or so we can
hope, in our hapless attempts to believe she’s human like the rest of us—but in
her public appearances she has shown nothing less than preternatural self-possession
and singular grace. So is it really possible that in Tuesday night’s speech before
the Democratic National Convention she could...
