Here is the latest arrest report from the Chattooga County Sheriff’s Office for Wednesday, September 27, 2023:

Summerville Police say that a scam artist tried to get a local resident to cash a fake check. According to a report released this week, the scammer offered the subject a job with “Xerox” and sent them a $950 check. The scammer told the person to cash the check and then send them $850 of the $950 from the check. When the person attempted to cash the check, they were told that the check was fake.
Summerville Police were called to a West Washington Street address on Sunday about a burglary in progress. When police got to the residence and spoke with the complainant, she told police that she came home to find that someone had been inside her house, turned the television on and had used the shower. She told police that she believed the person was still inside the residence. When police entered the house they found the suspect in the woman’s bed, asleep and wearing a pair of the woman’s blue jeans. The suspect would not give a reason to police for being inside the residence other than, “This is my house”. Police arrested twenty-four-year-old Thomas Marty Laney and charged him with burglary, theft by taking and theft of services.
You’ll want to keep an eye to the horizon later this week, as September wraps up with the glorious and extra-bright full Harvest Moon, the final “Super Moon” of 2023.
