STORY 1: Gwinnett police will patrol election day voting sites
Gwinnett County police will patrol areas around polling locations on Election Day to protect voters and election staff. Officers have received election security and response training, and the department's coordination and real-time crime centers will be active to monitor county-wide activity. Additional officers will patrol throughout election night, maintaining communication with the Sheriff's Office, the GBI, Gwinnett County Elections, and local police departments to ensure a secure voting environment.
STORY 2: Mill Creek Honors Doug Jones with Jersey Retirement
Mill Creek honored longtime coach Doug Jones by retiring his No. 1 jersey during a ceremony at Friday night's football game against Buford. Jones, who launched Mill Creek's baseball program in 2004 and served as head coach until 2024, was celebrated for his successful career, including leading the team to a state runner-up finish in 2018. He also coached at Brookwood, achieving a state runner-up finish in 1999. Recently named head coach at Prince Avenue Christian, Jones was inducted into the Georgia Dugout Club Hall of Fame in 2017.
STORY 3: Prosecutors: Covington man used dating website to lure victim to fatal robbery in Gwinnett
A Covington man, Mark Antonio White, 23, received a life sentence for the 2021 murder of Garcia Danielle Gaddis, whom he met on the dating site Tagged and lured to Lawrenceville to rob. Gaddis was found shot in his truck, and an investigation linked White to the crime through Tagged activity and security footage. White was also connected to a previous incident where he fired at his ex-girlfriend and her mother, with shell casings matching those found at Gaddis' murder scene. White was arrested in June 2022 after further evidence from an eviction linked him to the crime.
