He faces 12 felony charges, including vandalism to places of worship and criminal damage to property. Using a small ratchet, Rangel allegedly smashed windows at four churches on July 9, including locations of 12Stone Church, Victory Church, and Zion Baptist Church.

This growth reflects a total rise of 55,050 people since the 2020 Census. Among the metro region's counties, only Fulton County exceeds Gwinnett in population, with about 1.12 million residents. Despite this milestone, Gwinnett ranked sixth in growth rate among the region's counties over the past year.

Mississippi witnessed a turn of events as one of their law enforcement officers, Robin Conner, aged 33, experienced a role reversal, facing arrest for purported shoplifting charges. The shocking incident took place while she was on duty. Adding to the scenario's oddity, Robin was arrested in her professional attire and, ironically, chauffeured to jail in her own patrol vehicle. The incident occurred in the bustling sporting goods store of none other than Dick's Sporting Goods. It was here that the officer was apprehended, allegedly, with a pair of tennis shoes. The price tag of the swiped shoes added up to roughly $140, causing significant concern within the police force, according to Joseph Daughtry, the Police Chief of Columbus. Daughtry shared that it was an alert store clerk who noticed Conner's suspicious activity. Seeing an attempted theft in progress shocked the employee, who courageously stepped in to confront the individual, only to discover she was a police officer in uniform. Without losing composure, the vigilant store employee decided to take the responsible route, notifying the emergency services. The most unusual detail of the call was when the employee disclosed that the person in question was a police officer robed in her official uniform. Once emergency dispatchers received this peculiar update, they felt it appropriate to rope in a supervisor from Conner's precinct. Ensuring to handle the situation with utmost sensitivity, both the Chief Daughtry and his assistant chief responded to the call, alongside the captain from Conner's team. Upon their arrival, the shocking reality dawned on Conner's colleagues. Set against the backdrop of a bustling shopping center, they found themselves in the paradoxical position of having to arrest one of their own. As the procedures unfolded, Conner was escorted to the Lowndes County Adult Detention Center in her patrol car, as reported by WTVA. The immediate repercussion of this unforeseen event was Conner's suspension from active duty. With swift action, she was temporarily stripped of her professional duty and placed on administrative leave, while an investigation would be launched into the matter. Conner's alleged act of indiscretion compounded the issue for her already tarnished image as the Columbus city council in the wake of the event decided her fate. A unanimous decision was passed by the city council on Thursday to relieve Conner of her official duties after serving only two years on the police force, WTVA cites. In addition to losing her job, Conner was subsequently charged with a misdemeanor crime for shoplifting. The merchandise she allegedly stole was valued under $1,000, which led to her being granted an $862 surety bond. Conner's career at the Columbus Police Department was brief, lasting just two years. It was, unfortunately, her alleged actions that cut short her tenure, drawing severe criticism from community and colleagues alike. Police Chief Daughtry, openly conveyed his disappointment with the incident when speaking to the local media. He remarked, 'We have a job to do and we're held to a higher standard,' stressing on the fact that officers in the law enforcement are trusted figures of the city. Daughtry continued, 'And the community is just starting to trust us — and to take this gut punch really hurts.' His words echoed a sense of pain and betrayal, which he believes, has not only affected the department but also the community trust which is hard-earned and easily lost. The determined Police Chief, in his concluding remarks, emphasized the force's commitment to disciplinary standards by stating, 'That's why we fulfilled our obligation, not only to the store, but to the community.' Such incidents are often viewed as a reminder of the critical importance of moral integrity, especially in the field of law enforcement. It has not yet been confirmed whether Robin Conner, the police officer in the line of fire, has sought legal representation. Her arrest, however, has dented the community's trust and left a stark reminder about the consequences of perpetrating acts against the law, even for those who are entrusted with the task of enforcing it.

In this episode, I had the privilege of conducting Crisis Intervention Training (CIT) for the Columbus Police Department in Ohio, as part of a nationwide effort to support our peace officers, fire departments, EMS, crisis teams, corrections departments, sheriff's offices, and other public service agencies dealing with crisis situations. The primary goal of CIT training is to equip first responders with the necessary tools to effectively manage mental health and addiction-related crises, thereby reducing the likelihood of escalating situations resulting in harm due to a lack of awareness regarding individuals' mental and emotional struggles. One of the significant challenges in mental health and addiction education is fostering genuine understanding and empathy toward those grappling with these issues. While many acknowledge the prevalence of mental health and addiction concerns, bridging the gap between awareness and action requires individuals to recognize their own potential for connection with these struggles. In this episode, we delve into the pervasive stigma surrounding mental health and addiction and explore viable solutions. We also examine common misconceptions and errors in our approach to addressing these issues, emphasizing the importance of cultivating empathy and rapport with clients and community members. Furthermore, we tackle strategies for preventing the personalization of professional challenges and stressors, offering insights on maintaining emotional well-being in demanding roles such as parenting, family dynamics, and spousal relationships. Our discussion extends to navigating the spectrum of care options, elucidating distinctions between coaching, counseling, therapy, inpatient treatment, outpatient services, and stabilization interventions. For organizations seeking comprehensive mental health and addiction prevention training, CIT or Crisis Intervention Training, as well as guidance on engaging with available services proactively, I offer my expertise as a professional mental health and addiction speaker and advocate. Drawing from my own journey of long-term recovery, I specialize in bridging the gap between organizational practices, familial dynamics, and relationship dynamics, and evidence-based approaches to mental health and addiction prevention. If your organization or community group could benefit from tailored training or support in navigating these critical issues, I am here to facilitate that process. Also, if you're ever looking for a professional speaker around mental health and addiction recovery, drug and alcohol prevention, how to get employees to utilize human resources more often, professional development within schools, universities, police departments, fire departments, probation organizations, the department of correction, or any other organization that prioritizes mental health and addiction stigma.

This week's story involves the shooting death of a Columbus, Ohio man named VonMason Walker. On October 16, 2015 he was visiting the home of acquaintences. Before the night was over, he would be dead. VonMason Walker was born on December 24, 1990 in Columbus, OH. His parents are Willie Walker and Jennifer Gillman. He had graduated from high school in Muncie Indiana and had received his CDL so that he could become a truck driver. He was found dead in the home of an acquaintance on October 16, 2015. His father Willie Walker described his relationship with son as close. Willie had become VonMason's primary caretaker when he was a child. Willie considered his son a good man who was motivated to make his own way. He eventually become a security guard. But after some time on the job, VonMason followed in his father's footsteps and became a truck driver.Willie felt that his son had made a great career choice and was on his way to getting set for life. Unfortunately, Willie's life changed forever when he learned that his beloved son had died from a gunshot wound on October 16, 2015. According to Willie, he was told that VonMason was dancing around with a gun and tripped over a toy and accidentally killed himself.Willie said this was a deduction made from the Columbus police department because no one in the house corroborated this story. Willie found the explanation ludicrous. He would hire a private investigator who looked into the matter further. Based on the investigator's findings, VonMason's death was no accident. Willie has spent the past several years trying to get the Columbus Police Department to change VonMason's death from accidental shooting to a homicide. He has been unsuccessful. Willie shared VonMason's story with me hoping that someone will listen to his pleas for help in getting to the truth of what really happened to his beloved son. What truly happened to VonMason? Was the shooting accidental or did someone kill him and get away with murder? Willie Walker doesn't believe the Columbus Police Department will do anything with any tips they might receive. If you have a valuable tip, please contact Willie Walker directly at (614) - 441-6911. He would like to screen out tips and then discuss them with law enforcement personally.Please also visit my website for more information about my true crime and paranormal newspaper columns at www.themarcabe.com.

In this episode the students delve into the mysterious case of Daniel Trautman from Columbus, Oh. Daniel was a young man trying to fight his demons of alcohol abuse to better his life. He had just moved into his own apartment. He bought his first pet and a new job gave him something to focus on. Daniel was a avid outdoorsman and just a great guy to be around. One day what appeared to be just a fun trip to an after work dinner turned out to be his worst nightmare. Daniel had jumped on the so called "wagon" of sobriety with full force and doing very well when suddenly he fell off. Now many individuals fighting that battle have times where they fall off the wagon, but many find a way to get back on. Unfortunately, for Daniel someone else decided to make sure he didn't get back on that Wagon. Daniel had some drinks that night and spent the night hanging with people that did not have his best interest at heart. For nearly a week, Daniel was missing, until a farmer collecting his harvest saw his badly beaten body lying in the field. What happened to Daniel over those days missing? Who would do something like this? Why would anyone want Daniel dead? This case still baffles authorities to this day. If anyone knows anything about Daniel's death and the individuals that did this please contact the Columbus Police Department.

Episode 7 of this season is a two-parter, as we highlight the challenges disabled folks, particularly Black folks, face in different spaces. In part 1, we talk with Tabitha Woodruff and Travis Daluz-Cates of Disability Rights Ohio about the services it offers and the organization's policy work, including issues around racial issues and policing. They discuss the misconceptions around disability, how racial and cultural differences affect one's ability to get aid, how barriers affect these populations and much more. In part 2, we speak with Chana Wiley and Angie Williams about their experiences with mental illness and policing. Wiley's brother, Jaron Thomas, was killed by the Columbus Police Department in 2017 during a mental health crisis. Wiley walks us through who her brother was, the mental challenges he faced, what happened the day he was murdered, and the long, drawn-out fight to this day to get justice for her brother and prevent similar outcomes for others in crisis. Angie Williams, chair of DRO's PAIMI (Protection and Advocacy for Individuals with Mental Illness) Advisory Council, discusses her lived experience as someone who was arrested during a mental health crisis, and how the unfair charges and repercussions still affect her today.

Nicholas Reardon, accompanied by his attorney, sat for a voluntary interview with investigators nearly three weeks after fatally shooting Ma'Khia Bryant. When questioned, Reardon said there had been no time for other forms or attempts at de-escalation.

Shai-Onta Craig, also raised by foster mother Angela Moore before aging out of the system, told an investigator she didn't know why Ma'Khia had come at her with a knife. She recounted how after falling to the ground, she tried to put herself in a ball to protect her stomach because of her pregnancy. 

Tionna Bonner was pushed up against a car when Columbus police officer Nicholas Reardon fired the shots that killed Ma'Khia Bryant. Raised by the same foster mother, she recounted to an investigator shortly after the shooting how her upbringing had differed from that of Ma'Khia's.

Hours after 16-year-old Ma'Khia Bryant was shot four times by a Columbus police officer as she swung a knife at a young woman, her younger sister described to a special agent from the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation what had transpired before police were called to the 3100 block of Legion Lane on the afternoon of April 20, 2021.

Investigators recently discovered a body in the backyard of a man suspected to be his missing wife, and he was taken into custody. The Columbus Police Department announced on June 29 that detectives found remains at a property on the 2600 block of Carriage Drive while investigating a missing person case. Clarence Catron Jr. was arrested for concealing death, according to jail records. WRBL-TV reports that the body could be Julie Catron, Clarence's wife, who has been missing since November. According to WRBL, cadaver dogs sniffed out two shovels near a brick shed, which was located between a wood fence and a chain fence. According to reports, the body was found inside the shed. Under a raised flower bed and inside a tool box, the remains were discovered by the Columbus Ledger-Enquirer. Officials were unable to determine the person's gender due to the body's decomposition. An autopsy and identification will be performed by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. Neither Julie's credit cards nor her retirement savings have been used, according to the Ledger-Inquirer. After 13 years of marriage, Julie and Clarence had no children. The defendant has pleaded not guilty to the charge and is being held without bond.

In early December of 2006, 32-year-old Andrew Chapman disappeared from the Hilltop area of Columbus, Ohio. At the time, Andrew lived with a couple of roommates on Whitethorne Avenue. Andrew called his mom and told her that he needed her to come by his place because he had something to give her. He seemed to be in a bit of a panic. Andrew's mom, Judy, was very ill at the time and couldn't make the trip to see Andrew that day. In the days that followed, Judy was on the mend and stopped by Andrew's apartment to see what he needed. Judy was shocked to find that Andrew's apartment had been completely cleaned out. Andrew and his roommates were gone. Phone calls to Andrew went unanswered, and no one had any clue where he could be. Andrew's case quickly went cold, and maybe he wanted some time away from family? As the years went by, more perplexing clues began to surface as Andy's sister started digging into the case herself. Today, many questions remain unanswered, but Andrew's family is determined to find out what happened to him.If you have any information about the disappearance of Andrew Chapman, please contact the Columbus Police Department at 614-645-4545.This episode was sponsored by:Nutrafol- Go to Nutrafol.com and use promo code VANISHED to get $15 off your first order and free shipping.Ritual- Visit Ritual.com/Vanished for 10% off your first 3 months.Nuuly- Get $20 off your first month of Nuuly when you sign up at Nuuly.com and enter code VANISHED20.If you have a missing loved one that you would like to have featured on the show, please fill out our case submission form.Follow The Vanished on social media at:FacebookInstagramTwitterPatreonSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Dispatch recently held a roundtable discussion with seven officers from the Columbus Division of Police. The officers have been patrolling the city's streets since graduating from the training academy one to two years ago. The wide-ranging conversation addresses topics such as racism, changing the culture of policing and gaining the public's trust.

Hey, y'all, and welcome Southern Macabre! I'm Aeryn and I'm so glad you're here for our weekly Missing Person Monday episode. Even if it is Friday. I apologize for my mistake yesterday – I deleted Most Haunted in Tennessee and re-uploaded it as Haunted Castle in Tennessee so you can listen to this week's paranormal episode. I won't get in a hurry next time because this took me all day to fix. As usual, I will list the corresponding law enforcement phone number after each story and I will get pictures uploaded to our Facebook page, Southern Macabre, today. So, without further ado, I present Missing in Mississippi. — In 1960, Columbus, Mississippi was a small town where everyone knew everyone and it was considered a good place to live and raise a family. The lock and dam, Leigh Mall, Walmart, etc. hadn't been built yet so there wasn't much apart from Main Street where Mississippi University for Women is located. That's when it earned its nickname “The Friendly City”. Sadly, that's not the case today with crime on the rise. We're not talking about today, though. Today we're going to go way back and talk about Lyrian Wyvonne Barry, a 23-year-old mother of an 8-month-old girl who came from a close-knit family that included her parents, three sisters, and four brothers. She was an African American woman who stood 5' tall and weighed about 150 pounds. After she graduated in 1956, she met Eulice “Eddie” Stallings from New Orleans. She moved there with him, but a short time later she returned to Columbus, Mississippi with their newborn daughter, Gloria. Eddie moved back to Columbus so her family assumed that he still had feelings for her. They moved in together, but it wasn't a good situation. It wasn't long until she had her family help her move out. Her sister, Betsy Hurt, said he was using and selling drugs, which made Lyrian angry. Lyrian began seeing him in secret, but he was seeing multiple women until he married a woman because she was pregnant with his child. It was at this time Lyrian connected with her distant cousin, Sonny Lucas, who lived in Columbus and St. Louis, Missouri. Shortly after Eddie got married, she gave Gloria to Betsy and boarded a Greyhound bus for St. Louis to live with an aunt. Betsy was pregnant and the plan was for her to give birth in Columbus and then Lyrian was going to help her move to St. Louis. She figured that she would have a job and her own place by then. Sadly, that didn't happen because she vanished not long after she arrived at her aunt's home. Her aunt saw that someone was looking for a live-in maid either in Needham, Massachusetts or Bridgeport, Connecticut, she couldn't remember which. The night she was going to leave for her interview, Lucas's wife beat her up. She has never been seen or heard from again. Unfortunately, her parents, a few siblings, and her daughter passed not knowing what happened to Lyrian. They always hoped that she was still alive, but her social security number has never been used and there isn't a death certificate anywhere. If you know anything, call Columbus Police Department at 662-244-3554 — This case is crazy! So, on New Year's Eve in 1986, James Michael Welter gets in a car accident while drinking and driving. He was a 34-year-old Staff sergeant with the U.S. Air Force and was on leave until January 6th and had to be in court in Ocean Springs on the 15th. He didn't show up for either so he was deemed AWOL (Absent WithOut Leave) by the military and a warrant was issued for his arrest. In March of that year, they found his 1986 Ford Granada being driven by the arresting officer! He claimed that he had bought it from two unknown individuals at a salvage auction. It was scrapped later. Also, at the time of his disappearance, he was purchasing a timeshare through Dixie Resort Corporation, Indian Point Resort, in Gautier, M --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

On April 20th, 2021, a sixteen year old girl was gunned down by officer Nicholas Reardon of the Columbus Police Department. Since then, hundreds of thousands of people have taken to social media to echo the sentiment clearly illustrated by Reardon's actions; that Ma'khia didn't matter.    I promise that we will laugh, joke, and get in our feelings about all of the things that keep us up at night later. For now, we've got to tell the truth about what it means to be a Black child  deprived of kindness, care, and protection.    Updated ways to support Ma'khia's family can be found below.  Mutual Aid- Cashapp $Justiceformakhia Mutual Aid- Venmo: Justiceformakhia    

A Brian Shaffer story part 2 continues with Brian and his friends visiting the Ugly Tuna Saloona bar the second time around. We get to know the band that played in the bar and what we guess likely transpired before Brian ultimately made his way out. And how "did" he manage to get out without being seen? Afterwards I recount the immediate searches undertaken by the Columbus Police Department. NB. At around 03.00 minutes into the episode I mention the possibility to go either left or right when arriving on the top of the escalators. And going left meant in this instance visiting the Gateway Cinema. At this hour however, when visiting the Gateway building, the Cinema was closed and this area was restricted and guarded by two on-duty police officers. They can be seen in their white uniform in the cctv footage captured around 01.55 am with Brian standing on the foyer.

This week we welcome back friend of the show and experienced attorney in the fields of serious personal injury and civil rights litigation, Sean Walton. Sean consistently represents several families in Columbus who have had loved ones murdered at the hands of the Columbus Police Department -- including Casey Goodson Jr., Henry Green V and too many more. As an Adjunct Professor at Capital University Law School, Sean lectures frequently on issues ranging from knowing your rights and how to properly document instances of excessive police force to trends and best practices in personal injury and civil rights litigation. On this week's episode we discuss how the mechanisms of white supremacy, corruption in the Columbus Police Department, unchecked power of the Fraternal Order of Police, establishment politics invested in the status quo, negligent local journalism, and a criminal justice system designed to uphold white supremacy work together to make Columbus one of the most dangerous cities for Black people to live in the U.S. Uniquely qualified to shine a light on exactly how the underbelly of Columbus operates, we are so lucky to have Sean back on the show share his wealth of knowledge with us.

In Season 2 of Columbus Can't Wait we are focusing our attention squarely on the long history of police violence in Columbus, Ohio and the impunity of the Columbus Police Department. We believe families, we believe parents and caretakers, and we believe that they have the right to have their stories heard. We will speak with parents who have lost their sons to police violence, to elected officials, to activists, independent media outlets and community members doing the work to make change. In our first episode, we speak with Hyme Darson, a forerunner for justice, an agent for change on behalf of mothers whose children were tragically, violently murdered and slain at the hands of police officers. Hyme Darson is a single parent of four children including one daughter and three sons. Trae Darson, her third child, was murdered by Columbus Police Department officer Larry Whitman on August 30th, 2006 at Sunshine Int'l Food Market off of 161 on the North side of Columbus. In her first interview, Ms. Darson shares her son's story, including what type of a child he was, the runaround she received in the aftermath of her son's murder, the inaction taken by county prosecutors in the search for justice for Trae and the many discrepancies found in the official record and statements released by the CPD. Please listen and share her story widely. ***Please note that this conversation may be upsetting and difficult to hear and we encourage you to take in the episode in spurts, taking breaks as necessary.*** And as a note on the stance of Columbus Can't Wait: We demand justice for Trae Darson. We stand in solidarity with Hyme Darson and ask for officer Larry L. Whitman II to come forward with the truth and demonstrate accountability. We request that the case be reopened and all evidence become available to the Darson family, including Trae's personal items. #justice4trae #justice4traedarson ACTIONS: Please follow Hyme Darson on Facebook and Instagram for updates: Facebook:@justice4traedarson Instagram: @justice4trae Ms. Darson would also like to encourage those who have lost family members to police violence in Columbus to call us and share your story. Please leave us a voice note via our linktree or email us at columbuscantwait@gmail.com.
