Douglas, GA

Daily Coffee Press

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."

The Klamath River traverses 257 miles from Klamath Lake in Oregon to its mouth in California’s Redwood Coast. The salmon habitat the river supports, however, crosses more than 420 miles through the Klamath’s tributaries, historically one of the most significant salmon runs in the western United States and a primary source of food for the Yurok people for centuries. Throughout the first half of the 20th century, and culminating in the 1960s, a series of hydropower dams were erected along the river, cutting off the salmon runs and devastating the traditions and livelihood of the Indigenous peoples who had depended on the salmon for so long. Now, in a striking reversal of the trend from a century ago, the dams on the Klamath are gone – and for the first time in 100 years, the salmon can retreat to the breeding grounds that have given life to the Pacific Northwest since before humankind first entered the region some 10,000 years ago.
