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 man killed in the crash of a J3 Cub in Tennessee on Friday does not appear to have had a pilot certificate. There's a lot of attention on the mishap because the person killed was Scott Bloomquist, 60, a famous dirt track racing driver considered by many to be the best at the sport. In a 2023 interview with Dale Earnhardt Jr., Bloomquist said he learned to fly from his father, soloed at 16 and failed his first attempt to get a certificate. He did not pursue it after that but continued to fly. He also gave a video tour of the family hangar on their property in Mooresburg, Tennessee, to a car racing publication.
