COBB COUNTY, Ga. — A man thought he could get himself a free meal in Cobb County, but he was charged with murder instead.

Police say Brian Garfield Fort and some friends ran up a $100 tab at The Juicy Crab along the East-West Connector and walked out without paying.

Channel 2 Cobb County Bureau Chief Michele Newell got exclusive body camera video of the moments an officer responded to the dine and dash call.

The officer found Fort’s cell phone left in one of the restaurant’s booths. They didn’t need to get into the phone to figure out who it belonged to because the photo on his lock screen was a selfie.

Investigators later learned that Fort was wanted on a murder charge.

“Great job by this Cobb County police officer, and we couldn’t be more proud of the work they did to capture this dangerous suspect,” officer Aaron Wilson said. “All he had to do was come here, file a report and go to the next call; this case would’ve been sent to an investigative detective.”

An employee at The Juicy Crab got a picture of Fort’s license plate and shared it with police.

“They find several names that are associated with this vehicle, run those names through GCIC, they get the picture from the driver’s license, they match the picture to the guy’s phone, here’s the guy,” Wilson explained. “They run that name through, and what happens? They get a GCIC hit for a murder warrant outside of DeKalb County.

Within hours, a license plate reader got a hit on Fort’s car in Brookhaven and he was taken into custody.

“Several officers [go from] call to call to call where they are backed up with reports, so what this officer did was above and beyond what a normal officer would likely have done,” Wilson said.

Police told Newell that Fort and killed a man in Decatur earlier this year.

He was also arrested in Gwinnett County last year for walking around the outside of a high school with a shotgun during a football game.

Fort is currently being held in the DeKalb County Jail on charges of murder, theft by receiving stolen property and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

Moment sex offender who squirted semen over women gave himself up

Willbert Mukori, 26, called 101 following a CCTV appeal on social media to admit the images were of him, before demanding that police remove the online appeal and initially denying 16 offences.

  • Audio has been released of moment Willbert Mukori handed himself in to police
  • The 26-year-old committed 16 offences of sexual assault against 12 women
  • He called 101 following Facebook appeal to admit images shared were of him
This is the moment a sex offender who used mayonnaise bottles to squirt his semen over women, prompting a police appeal, called 101 to admit: 'That image is me'.

Willbert Mukori, 26, sexually assaulted a dozen victims before handing himself in. Astonishingly, he then demanded police remove the CCTV appeal.

He initially self-presented at the station and was arrested, but denied any of the allegations.

After a police investigation Mukori, of Elswick Grove, Kingstanding, admitted 16 sexual assaults against 12 women. He was jailed for four and a half years, with an added four years extended licence, at Birmingham Crown Court.

The attacks began with a single incident in Derbyshire, with the subsequent 11 taking place in Birmingham City Centre and Selly Oak.

In the initial assault dating back to 2016, Mukori put his own semen into a burger sauce bottle and sought out a woman walking alone in a street. He then squirted the liquid onto the buttocks area of her clothing.

Years later, he developed a substance with the appearance of semen to spray on women in student areas of Birmingham. For some time, he would 'carefully' choose and follow his victims, one of who he spent 30 minutes waiting for outside a Sainsbury's store.

The victims, most of them University students, were then sprayed from behind with Arabic Gu,.

Following multiple reports to police, CCTV images were then found and shared on the force's social media with an urgent appeal to track Mukori down. But it was then the suspect himself who called 101 with information.

In the audio from the call, Mukori can be heard saying: 'I'm just calling in regard to a case reference that I saw online on a Facebook post. That image that's on that case I've seen is me and it was sent to me by someone and yeah, I just wanted to know what this is in question about because it's quite a serious allegation I've seen on there.

'And if it's of an incident that had happened between me and a female, that I'd also made a phone call and spoken to a police member on site about it.'

Police then began to collect evidence against Mukori, taking his DNA and running it through a national database. The results showed a match on the initial sexual assault years before in Derbyshire.

He was arrested in February 2023 and, after searching his car, police recovered the burger sauce bottle used in the assaults.

Florida county under quarantine after giant African land snail spotted

The quarantine is active for an area near Fort Lauderdale, as officials work to eradicate the notoriously destructive invasive snail species.
www.cbsnews.com www.cbsnews.com
Part of a Florida county was placed under quarantine this week, as officials respond to a recent giant African snail sighting in the area.

The quarantine order took effect Tuesday and applies to a section of Broward County, where Fort Lauderdale is located, covering around 3.5 square miles. Inside its boundaries, the order means it is illegal to move a giant African land snail or any "regulated article," including, but not limited to plants, plant parts, plants in soil, soil, yard waste, debris, compost or building materials, either within or outside of the quarantine area without first obtaining a compliance agreement, according to the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.

Fla. cop parents allegedly handcuffed, ‘jailed’ 3-year-old son for potty-training trouble

Two Florida cops — a lieutenant and a detective sergeant — allegedly handcuffed and jailed their 3-year-old son to “discipline” him for having difficulties with potty training.

Two Florida police officers allegedly placed their 3-year-old son in jail twice after he had potty-training accidents

Two Florida cops — a lieutenant and a detective sergeant — allegedly handcuffed and jailed their 3-year-old son to “discipline” him for having difficulties with potty training.

Daytona Beach Shores police Lt. Michael Schoenbrod told a Department of Children and Families caseworker that he took the boy to headquarters in October and put him behind bars, the News-Journal reported, citing body-cam video.

The child was jailed twice, the first time on Oct. 5 and again the following day, when he was also cuffed, according to the outlet.

“He was crying. I was getting the response I expected from him,” Schoenbrod told the caseworker, the footage from a Volusia County sheriff’s deputy reportedly shows.

He said his son promised to never poop in his pants again after his time in the slammer.

Schoenbrod admitted that he also had resorted to the jail tactic about nine years ago, when he disciplined his then-4-year-old son for hitting a girl in preschool, the newspaper said.

“I took him to the jail and he sat there. And I watched him … and he was crying and everything, and to this day, if you mention, like, that incident, he’s just like, ‘I would never do that again.’ It was effective,” Schoenbrod told the caseworker.

So that’s why I did it with this. He didn’t hit anybody, but I figured the same thing, discipline. And he didn’t want to go back, so …,” the lieutenant added, according to the report.

It was not immediately clear whether Schoenbrod and Detective Sgt. Jessica Long faced discipline, according to the News-Journal, which said it obtained copies of memos from Public Safety Director Michael Fowler informing the couple about a probe.

The top cop told the paper he would consult with the city attorney before commenting.

Schoenbrod and Long — who live together and have the child together — and their attorney, Michael Lambert, have not responded to the paper’s requests for comments. A Department of Children and Families rep acknowledged a request for comment but did not offer one.

“It’s just disgusting that somebody would drag our family through the mud like this,” Schoenbrod said in the video, while Long could be heard calling the investigation “insane,” the News-Journal reported.

Meanwhile, City Clerk Cheri Schwab said a judge has sealed the records in a March 24 case that lists Schoenbrod “et al.” as plaintiffs and the State Attorney’s Office “et al.” as defendants.

The couple also filed a separate case against State Attorney R.J. Larizza on May 18, but the initial filing and several subsequent motions have been marked as confidential, according to the News-Journal.

Antonio Jaimes, an attorney with the Volusia County Clerk of Court’s Office, told the outlet that the cases “are confidential due to motions for confidentiality filed within the cases.”

But Michael Barfield, director of public access initiatives for the Florida Center for Government Accountability, argued that the internal-affairs documents should be made public.

“A pending motion to determine confidentiality of court records does not have any impact on the city’s IA (internal affairs) investigation,” Barfield told the News-Journal in an email.

“A party cannot make a record that is subject to production under Chapter 119 (of the state public records law) confidential by merely filing a lawsuit requesting confidentiality and then not setting a hearing on the motion,” he added.

A Florida Department of Law Enforcement spokeswoman said she has forwarded a request from the paper about any completed investigation to the public records department for processing.

Former city attorney Lonnie Groot also has reportedly sought records about any officer placing a child in a jail cell, as well as investigations into “alleged child abuse by an officer.”

“This whole matter just does not pass the basic smell test from a transparency and governmental openness perspective,” he wrote City Attorney Becky Vose, the outlet said.

And a former South Daytona police officer who describes himself as a civil-rights activist said that when he requested the findings of the professional standards probe, he was provided an estimate of $3,398.40 - about 40 hours of work at $84.96 per hour — to review and redact the documents.

“It’s a severe matter of public interest when you have strong allegations of that kind,” Dickinson told the paper. “Rumors are being brought to you by fellow law enforcement … and you want to make sure the stuff they’re saying isn’t true.”
