During the Dec. 11 council meeting the police chief (the minutes do not give a full name) reported on recent law-enforcement activity and outreach. The chief said the department met with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation about a summer ATM robbery that involved two suspects from out of state and that an arson suspect has been identified, with social media and Facebook cited as investigative aids.
The police report also noted a community event: "This Thursday, Columbus will have their shop with a cop," per the minutes, and that an end-of-year police report will be presented at the next council meeting. The minutes do not detail charges, arrests, or investigative status beyond the statements above.
Because the minutes do not include investigative documents, formal charges, or police reports, this article summarizes what the council minutes record as the chief's update.
