Oconee Blotter: Speeder argues when deputy wants him out car

The Oconee County Sheriff’s Office reported the following incidents: ARGUMENTIVE SPEEDER: On Oct. 15, Deputy Robbie McCannon was running radar on Highway 316 when he clocked a 2004 Toyota van going 74 mph in a 55-mph zone. After a stop, the officer smelled marijuana, but he didn’t mention that at first. After explaining the speeding violation, he asked the 40-year-old Lawrenceville man to step out. But the man told the deputy to just write him a ticket. He kept refusing to exit, but when the deputy called for backup, the man finally complied. When informed about the marijuana, the man said it was no big deal. He agreed to sobriety tests, but he kept interrupting the deputy as they went through the tests. He was charged with DUI. The officer discovered the man was also wanted by Fulton County. Meth was found in the vehicle, and both he and the 44-year-old Athens woman with him were arrested on a drug charge. COPPER THEFT: On Oct. 15, Deputy Louis Cvetnic was dispatched to Princeton Farm Drive, where copper wiring was stolen from two transformers that belong to Walton EMC.
