A forty-two-year-old Summerville man was arrested on Thursday of last week after he admitted to drinking all day and getting into an argument with a former girlfriend.  Summerville Police say that Robert Blaine Rehorn had been arguing with the woman and then left and went to the Circle K convenience store on Commerce Street.  Police said that while they were talking with Rehorn, they could smell a strong odor of alcohol on his person and that he was unsteady on his feet.  Rehorn was arrested and charged with public intoxication and booked into the Chattooga County Jail.

Work continues cleaning Town Creek in Summerville.  The work began the last week of July and already workers have cleared about 20 dump truck loads of dirt and debris from the creek.  The work is being done to help alleviate flooding problems that have plagued downtown Summerville.  In addition to the cleaning of the creek, eleven culverts were identified as problem areas along the waterway that starts at Cleghorn Spring at Willow Tree Park and makes its way to the Chattooga River.  Summerville officials say that they are working with private landowners to obtain permits along the rest of the creek to continue the cleaning of the creek.
