Story 1. fraud
A traffic stop for using a cellphone while driving resulted in more serious charges for a Duluth man, Charles Clay. During the stop, officers noticed he had multiple credit cards with different names and discovered evidence of alleged thefts and fraud amounting to over $100,000. Clay was initially charged with driving offenses and financial transaction card theft, but now faces counts of financial transaction card fraud, forgery, and identity fraud. Despite being initially released on bond, Clay's current whereabouts are unknown. Authorities are seeking public assistance to locate him. Tips can be provided to detectives or Crime Stoppers for a potential cash reward. See a picture of this suspect and read more at gwinnettdailypost.com
STORY 2: arrested
A Central Gwinnett High School student has been arrested after a fight with a classmate in a school bathroom. A video shared on social media depicts the altercation in which the students wrestle and one of them repeatedly punches the other in the head while on the ground. The attacker then appears to stomp on the other student's head. The principal, Shane Orr, informed parents that the fight occurred between classes, leading to one student's injury. School administrators and resource officers are investigating the incident, and the student responsible for the attack has been arrested. The extent of the injured student's injuries was not specified.
Story 3: brother
Gwinnett County police have charged Yousaf Baysassie, the brother of a man who was shot and killed outside an Applebee's, with felony murder and aggravated assault in connection with the incident. The victim, Haaris Baysassie, died after being shot in the parking lot between Applebee's and O'Reilly Auto Parts on U.S. Highway 78. Yousaf Baysassie, the suspect, is currently not in custody and his whereabouts are unknown. In a surprising development, the charges against Tristyn Derriun Mays and Nyzerrius Carter, who were initially arrested in connection with the death, have been reduced. Mays now faces tampering with evidence and firearm possession charges, while Carter faces a tampering with evidence charge.

Story 4: disney
Rachael Graham, a dancer from Gwinnett, had an exciting summer working as a performer on the "Disney Dream" cruise ship in the Mediterranean. She returned to her role as a Mainstage Performer with a primary dancing track and reprised her role as Princess Tiana in Disney's "Believe." She also performed in various other shows, including new ones like "Mickey's Color Spin Dance Party." Rachael sailed throughout the Mediterranean, visiting multiple cities in Italy, Spain, Greece, Portugal, England, and France. She cherished her experiences, such as cliff jumping in Santorini, Greece. Rachael's future plans involve auditioning for Broadway musicals like "Lion King," "Hamilton," and "Wicked," aiming to continue her passion for performing and exploring new opportunities.
Story 5: buford
The Buford High School football team is poised for a strong 2023 season with a powerful offense and a talented defense. The team has gained a significant addition in five-star quarterback Dylan Raiola, who transferred to Buford from Arizona and will have a
talented pool of receivers to work with. While they will miss the production of former player Justice Haynes, junior Justin Baker and athlete Kobi Blackwell are ready to step up in the running back position. The team's offense is versatile, capable of adjusting their strategy based on the opponent. The defense is equally impressive, featuring several star prospects and experienced players. The team is motivated by last year's playoff upset and is determined to make a stronger showing this season. Despite the high expectations, the team remains focused on their goals and their commitment to excellence.
Story 6: mill creek
Mill Creek High School's football team, fresh off their first-ever state championship win, is maintaining their focused approach for the upcoming season. Coach Josh Lovelady emphasizes a business-as-usual mentality, with the team focusing on the present and the future rather than dwelling on their past success. While they graduated key offensive players from last season, including quarterback Hayden Clark and wide receiver Caleb Downs, the team is determined to maintain their balanced offensive strategy. Senior running back Cam Robinson's return is a significant asset for the team, with his versatility and skill set making him a vital player on both running and passing plays. The Hawks are well aware of the target on their backs as defending state champions and are motivated to excel in their 20th year as a program.
