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."

It's not a big surprise that the manual-transmission SUV is next up on the chopping block for vehicles sending the manual the way of the dodo. The appeal of the manual gearbox largely has to do with driver engagement. The appeal of the sports utility vehicle is mostly down to convenience in the modern automotive landscape. These two qualities are, if not incompatible, at least difficult to counterbalance. Then you add cost concerns into the mix, and it's easy to see why SUV makers would rather avoid spending millions developing a new stick shift and passing the expenses on to the buyer in a segment that frequently competes on price alone.
