ATLANTA — Three people were arrested June 8 after someone cut and stole wires near 727 Cascade Ave SW in southwest Atlanta.
What happened: Officers responding to a report of downed wires determined the lines had been deliberately cut. Surveillance footage gave them a description of the vehicle involved. They tracked it down and stopped it near 1661 Ralph David Abernathy Blvd SW, about a mile away.
Who was charged: All three people in the vehicle face felony theft and felony interference with government property charges:
- Clifton Jackson, born May 1964
- Michele Ogletree, born July 1968
- Willie Noltion, born April 1963
What was recovered: The stolen wire was found inside the vehicle at the time of the stop.
The path forward: All three were booked into the Fulton County Jail. Each is presumed innocent unless found guilty in court. Felony theft by taking in Georgia applies when stolen property exceeds $1,500 in value.
