Police Tuesday captured the second of two teens they said escaped a south Fulton County group home after kidnapping a counselor and taking his car.
The 16-year-old fugitive, a 6-foot-1, 438-pound male, was captured by Athens-Clarke County police around 3 p.m. Tuesday, authorities said. His name was not released because of his age. ...
“Two of the juveniles overpowered the counselor … and had fled in his vehicle.”
Charges against the teens are pending, she said. But police will first need to talk to the counselor, James Green, who went into surgery earlier today for non-life-threatening injuries.
“The counselor wasn’t in any condition to be questioned,” Parker said.
Apparently, there's been another Bigfoot sighting in Georgia.
I thought that said 1,438 lb male.
But what if he’s just about to turn his life around? [/s]
Guys, I’m sorry - I copied and pasted the height and weight from the article but as a headline it looks misleading.
Ahhh. Helen Thomas is her natural habitat. I love wildlife photos.

This may be the first time that a seismograph was used to detect a fleeing suspect.
16 year olds are adults and should be treated as adults.
What frightens me about this incident is this guy has a virtual kevlar vest. Not sure anything less than a 45 would take him down were he to attack.
teens who escape custody and kidnap should not have the usual protection, and names released. They are now adults.
