Police: Suspect attempted to hit man with car at Kennesaw gas station

A suspect is facing assault charges after police say he attempted to back his car into a man after an argument at a Kennesaw gas station. Curtis Stewart, 43, of Atlanta, is accused of driving his car in reverse toward a man during an incident at a Quik Trip gas station located at 2761 Cobb Parkway, at the intersection with Watts Drive. The incident occurred at approximately 11:35 a.m. Oct. 22 and began after a verbal argument broke out with the victim about their usage of the gas station’s air pump station. After an initial verbal altercation, police say Stewart got in his black Mitsubishi Outlander, parked in a nearby parking space and briefly walked toward the victim in an aggressive manner before returning to his car. Stewart is accused of reversing his car away from his parking space, aiming his vehicle at the victim and reversing toward the victim, causing the victim to retreat backward and push off the Mitsubishi’s trunk with both hands as it reversed toward him. Police say Stewart then fled the area. The incident was captured on security footage from the Quick Trip gas station, Stewart’s warrant reads. The Kennesaw Police Department arrested Stewart Oct.

Floyd County poised to renew speed camera contract Tuesday

The Floyd County Commission is expected to renew its contract for traffic enforcement cameras at Armuchee Primary School on Tuesday, its first meeting since the election that confirmed there will be two new members in January. A RedSpeed camera has been operating in the school zone along Martha Berry Highway since October 2022. Floyd County Police Department data has shown a significant decrease in wrecks and speeding violations since it was installed. The department’s request to continue the RedSpeed Traffic Enforcement System agreement is on the board’s consent agenda — a list of noncontroversial “housekeeping” items proposed for approval with a single vote. The sheriff’s office renewal of its jail medical contract with Genesys Health Services also is on the list, along with a quit claim deed for a Robin Street property that has been redeemed and plans to cancel the board’s last meeting of the year, set for Dec. 22. In January, newcomers Cleve Jackson and Shane Cowan are slated to replace Commissioners Scotty Hancock and Rhonda Wallace, whose terms end Dec. 31. Tuesday, commissioners are scheduled to caucus at 4 p.m. and start their regular meeting at 6 p.m. in the County Administration Building, 12 E. Fourth Ave.

Five historic Marietta homes open their doors for annual holiday pilgrimage

MARIETTA — A beloved holiday tradition is returning to the Gem City with the 40th annual Marietta Pilgrimage Dec. 4 through 6, showcasing some of the area’s most historic homes decorated for the holidays. Cobb Landmarks and Visit Marietta annually host an opportunity to tour each private home decked in holiday decor at their own pace on a walking tour throughout the first weekend of December. The event is one of the biggest fundraisers of the year for both organizations, with profits split between them. Every year, the pilgrimage’s organizers select a series of five homes along a historic street in the city to showcase to the public. Becky Godbee, co-chair of this year’s pilgrimage, said the event is meant to celebrate historic preservation and strengthen community pride while supporting Cobb Landmarks and Visit Marietta. “It highlights what makes Marietta so special,” Godbee said. “I feel like … the varied architecture of the homes reflects how varied our residents are in Marietta. There is just a wonderful mix of cohesion that just makes it all spectacular.” Prior to the pilgrimage kickoff, the Pilgrimage Gala will take place at The Whitlock Inn on Dec. 3 from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m.

North Paulding pulls away from Wheeler

DALLAS -- Braden Stark threw for 238 yards and five touchdowns as Wheeler was no match against Region 5AAAAAAA champion North Paulding, capping off a disappointing 2026 season with a 45-7 loss at Wolfpack Stadium Friday night. With nothing to lose, Wheeler (0-10, 0-7) attempted several trick plays, and blitzed often defensively against a Wolfpack team that didn’t seem intent on establishing the run. The Wildcats stayed close with North Paulding (8-2, 7-0) for the majority of the first half. However, it was special teams miscues that found themselves trailing 24-7 at halftime. The Wolfpack ,who clinched their second region championship in five seasons with a dominating 41-0 victory at Cherokee last Friday, turned the momentum in the favor with Micah Johnson’s 58-yard punt return advancing to the Wildcats 23-yard line. On the next play, North Paulding took full advantage of the field position, as Stark found Presley Carr for a touchdown to give the Wolfpack a 7-0 lead. On the next North Paulding possession, they started at the Wheeler 44 after a 10-yard punt. Just like the previous possession, the Wolfpack only needed one play to get into the end zone. Stark completed a 44-yard pass to Jaden Scoggins

Cobb NAACP celebrates leadership, progress at annual awards gala

MARIETTA — The Cobb County chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People saw hundreds of chapter members, community leaders and supporters turn out for its annual Oscar Freeman Freedom Funds Award Gala on Saturday. Named for a Cobb County civil rights icon, the gala honors community members and organizations who’ve helped advance their mission and raises money to support the organization’s programming throughout the year. Jeriene Bonner-Willis, president of the Cobb NAACP, said the organization usually raises around $100,000 from the banquet. This year’s theme was “We The People,” celebrating the transformative contributions made by the Black community to civil rights and liberties. Bonner-Willis said the theme was especially meaningful because it came just days after former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance-Bottoms was elected as the first Black governor of Georgia. “We saw some historic things take place in our community that we are truly delighted about,” Bonner-Willis said. “Tonight is an opportunity for us to celebrate the work and to keep the work going.” Attendees and presenters reflected on the change the Cobb NAACP has helped facilitate, and looked ahead toward future goals they want to achieve using funds raised by the banquet.
