One dead in jet ski crash
DAYTON, Tenn. – Authorities said a Tennessee man died Saturday in a jet ski accident on Chickamauga Lake.
The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency identified the victim as 24-year-old Travis Hale, of Dayton. He was operating the jet ski after dark Saturday when it hit a private dock.
The accident remains under investigation.
It marked the 2nd fatality on a Tennessee lake over the weekend. Rescue personnel discovered the assets of 30-year-old Andrew Ehrman of Plymouth, Mich., who disappeared while swimming in Cherokee Lake on Saturday.
Man says officer ran over him
ATLANTA – An Atlanta police officer was placed on administrative leave after he was accused of running over a man he mistook for a suspect, Channel two Activity News reported.
Warren Hill said the unnamed officer ran him over last week in the parking lot of the Mall West End.
“It hurt bad,” he told Channel Two. “My head, my neck, my back, my entire assets. You get hit by a car, what do you think is going to happen?”
The officer thought Hill was a domestic violence suspect, Hill said. After discovering they had the wrong man, they still arrested him on an outstanding warrant for a violated taillight and failure to emerge in court.
Special election set
ATLANTA – A special election has been called to pack a seat in the Georgia House of Representatives.
Gov. Nathan Deal on Thursday set the election for Nov. Seven to pack the seat vacated by Rep. Stacey Abrams, who resigned to concentrate on her gubernatorial campaign.
Abrams had represented the Atlanta-based House District eighty nine since 2006.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported at least three people are seeking the seat: attorney Sachin Varghese, activist and operative Bee Nguyen and attorney Monique Keane.
Alabama Senate candidates stump for votes over weekend
MONTGOMERY, Ala. – Sen. Luther Strange and former Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore spent Labor Day weekend attempting to rally voters ahead of this month’s critical GOP runoff for a U.S. Senate seat.
Strange and Moore face off in the Sept. Twenty six runoff in the race to pack the seat previously held by Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
Both campaigned at Auburn University’s opening football game on Saturday.
On Sunday, Moore gave a speech at a Montgomery Baptist church. Strange stumped at the Sweet Tater Festival in Cullman, fifty one miles north of Birmingham.
Strange has been endorsed by President Donald Trump and a group linked to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. He’s launched attacks on Moore’s qualifications.
However, Moore bested Strange by 25,000 votes in the primary in the socially conservative state.
