Goble, a long-haul trucker, was notorious for strangling women, primarily sex workers, and dumping their bodies along highways across multiple states in the early 1990s. He was arrested in 1995 after a killing spree that spanned years.

If you’ve visited a drive-thru recently and noticed things seem a little different, you’re not alone. Restaurants have begun testing forms of artificial intelligence (AI) in food service in an attempt to simplify the ordering process for workers and create a smoother experience for guests.

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."
