STORY 1: Austell Robbery
A Douglasville man, Jayvias Shermondrae Lott, has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for an armed robbery at an Austell pharmacy in November 2019. Lott pleaded guilty to armed robbery, aggravated assault, and possession of a firearm during a felony. Cobb Superior Court Judge Sonja Brown handed down a 15-year prison sentence followed by 10 years of probation. The robbery involved Lott wearing a motorcycle helmet and demanding prescription drugs at gunpoint, with surveillance video confirming the incident. He fled with over $1,500 worth of prescription drugs. Lott was later apprehended during an unrelated investigation, where authorities found incriminating evidence, including the helmet worn during the robbery, drugs, and a firearm.

STORY 2: Marietta school board orders superintendent to remove 'sexually explicit material'
The Cobb County Board of Education voted 5-2 to adopt a directive ordering Superintendent Grant Rivera to remove "sexually explicit material" from the school district. The directive aims to eliminate materials considered "obscene, pornographic, not age-appropriate, and without substantive historical or academic value." Parents can challenge the removal of a book, and the process for doing so is outlined. This decision comes amid debates over books in the Cobb County School District, with some parents and board members expressing concerns about explicit content. While supporters argue that the directive protects children, opponents believe it may infringe on academic freedom and potentially harm LGBTQ+ communities.
STORY 3: Austell man arrested after hit-and-run results in serious injuries
An Austell man was arrested for his involvement in a hit-and-run accident that left two individuals seriously injured.

STORY 4: KSU having difficulty with run game
Kennesaw State University's football team is facing challenges in their running game this season. Traditionally known for their strong running game, they have struggled to gain yards on the ground in their first two games, averaging only 149.5 rushing yards per game compared to their historical average of 307.3 yards per game. The transition to a new offensive scheme and difficulties opening holes for runners between the tackles have contributed to this issue. The team will look to improve their running game as they face No. 7 Furman in their next game. Additionally, they are appealing a targeting penalty that led to a player's ejection.
