--- Quote from: "browneyes" ---I tried to get a police report for the incident on January 16th through the LCSO but was unable to due to the fact that it was a Juvenile case. Was told the only way that someone could get one would be through a Juvenile Judge.

Found this:



Juvenile Criminal Records
•Under Georgia law, most criminal records relating to juveniles (17 years or younger) are restricted and may not be released to the public. However, there are instances under Georgia law where juvenile records pertaining to certain crimes may be disclosed to the public. Under law, records of arrest, incident reports and closed case files for offenses exclusively under the jurisdiction of state superior court involving minors 13 years and older may be released to the public if the offense in question was murder, voluntary manslaughter, rape, aggravated sodomy, aggravated child molestation, aggravated sexual battery or armed robbery. Incident reports and arrest records of juveniles 13 years and older relating to certain felony offenses under the jurisdiction of the state juvenile court may also be released to the public if the offense in question was a second or subsequent charge of possession of a handgun, kidnapping, first- or second-degree arson, aggravated assault, aggravated battery, robbery, battery of school personnel, attempted murder, attempted kidnapping, hijacking a motor vehicle, or possession or manufacture of a "destructive device," such as a bomb.



Records of arrest or incident reports relating to certain offenses under the jurisdiction of the juvenile court may be released to the public regardless of the age of the juvenile at the time of the offense. These offenses are possession of a weapon on or near school property, a second or subsequent charge of hoaxing an explosive device, drug trafficking, criminal racketeering, participation in a criminal street gang, escape from custody for a felony offense and theft of a motor vehicle.

Dysfunction Junction:
Can anybody confirm whether or not these employees got paid?  Any updates on the "riot"?

I am not sure anyone made mention of the article published in The Dahlonega Nugget on 1/26/11. I was unable to find a link on the Nugget website...sorry! Anyhow it was Police Officer Darren Martin's account of the incident. Essentialy it sounds like early in the day on 1/16 a majority of the student body threatened to initiate a mass walk-out. Apparently the majority of the students did not follow through however it appears a group of students not only walked out but caused a massive amount of property damage. Students were breaking into buildings attempting to access phones, throwing rocks, breaking windows and the police officer stated the Student Activity Center was completely trashed! A few students even went so far as to break into a near by church in attempts to access a phone.
Another piece of notable info mentioned in the article was that 4 students were picked up by police on 1/15 for loitering at the Dahlonega Walmart at 4am. It turned out that they were Ridge Creek Runaways...and no one at RCS bothered to inform the police...it is their written P&P to do so. Even if a student if older than 18 it is required according to RCS policy that the shift leader contact police, as a courtesy if the are 18 or older OR to file missing persons if under age.
'
In the paper Len Buccelato's was reported stating it was "not a major incident" and went on to say "the campus is operating as usual"....that's the issue folks...this kind of stuff has become status quo at RCS. If these kind of incidents are considered "business as usual" is this really a safe place for students or staff???

This whole thing is so sad...the campus has so much potential...if only the leadership was different!

Jill Ryan:
Interesting.  Whom exactly 'owns' the paper?  The editor is Wayne Knuckles.

Where is the "AJC" in all of this?? They just don't care?? I am beginning to wonder for two reasons, one that they don't post this for political reasons and or two they don't post this because they don't want to frighten the community around this campus, again for political reasons.
In all this is bs, someone is going to get seriously hurt/killed one of these times.
