Charles Terry Collins, aged 70, has been indicted on murder charges related to the death of his wife, Deborah Collins, aged 63, in Cherokee County. The indictment, filed on October 9, charges Collins with malice murder, felony murder, aggravated assault family violence, and possession of a firearm during a felony. The indictment alleges that Collins killed his wife by shooting her in the throat and neck. The incident occurred in the early hours of July 24, and deputies responded to the couple's home. Charles Collins was arrested after initially confronting responding officers with a firearm. He is currently held in the Cherokee County jail without bond, with a court appearance scheduled for November 7.

STORY 3: Man Fatally Struck On I-575 Owned Woodstock Towing Business
Frank Ingram, the owner of Ingram Towing and Impound Service in Woodstock, was fatally struck by a vehicle while working alongside Interstate 575 southbound near Sixes Road.

In addition to his towing business, Ingram was a late model racing champion at Dixie Speedway. This tragedy marks the third incident of a tow truck driver being killed in metro Atlanta this year, highlighting the risks tow truck operators face in their line of work.
