A woman visiting a man in the 200 block of McGregor Street stole $455 from his wallet while he was in his restroom and fled on foot without any clothing.

The man said the two were drinking together Monday night when the woman removed her clothes and indicated she wanted to get intimate. The man refused the gesture, angering her, police said. The man then used his restroom and came out to find the money missing from his wallet that was hidden under a cushion on his couch. The man then saw the woman running down McGregor Street nude.

Near miss

State trooper Sgt. 1st Class Mark Mitchell of LaGrange and another man narrowly avoided being hit by a car on Interstate 85.

Mitchell was administering a field sobriety test to the driver of a 1999 Oldsmobile Silhouette on Sunday night when a car driven by Andy Pollard, 39, of Lanett, Ala., sideswiped Mitchell’s patrol car and plowed into the Silhouette.

Pollard’s 1996 Chevrolet Tahoe went off the right side of the highway and struck an embankment.

“It came within inches of hitting both of us,” said Mitchell, who suffered cuts to both hands because of flying glass, but didn’t need hospital treatment.

The other two drivers were not hurt.

Pollard had a blood-alcohol level of 0.26, more than three times the legal threshold for intoxication. He was charged with DUI, failure to move into the other lane in deference to a traffic stop, driving with a revoked license, no seat belt and no insurance.

“He said he knew he hit something, but didn’t know what it was,” Mitchell said.

The Fairburn man whom Mitchell had stopped passed the sobriety test, but was charged with driving without a license, no valid tag and no insurance.
