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."

A federal judge in a Tuesday ruling ridiculed administrators at the University of California, Los Angeles, for allowing an anti-Israel encampment to block Jewish students’ access to campus — the first court rebuke of demonstrations that descended into antisemitic threats and intimidation at many colleges last spring.

In a scathing, 16-page order, Scarsi blasted UCLA’s Board of Regents for openly maintaining in court proceedings thus far that it had...
