• Detectives with the Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office continue to look for the suspects who allegedly robbed and beat an elderly man two weeks ago. Deputies responded to a home invasion on Kellogg Creek Road April 27 and found a 79-year-old man severely injured, officials says. A female with a pierced eyebrow went to the house earlier in the day and offered cleaning services. Then two white men between 17 and 22 years old kicked in the door and repeatedly kicked the victim in the ribs causing several broken bones, police say. The two men were wearing black pants and black shirts. One of them was wearing some type of hat. They were last seen getting into a mid-1990s white Jeep Grand Cherokee near Kellogg Creek Road and New Hope Road. It headed toward Bartow County. Anyone with information is asked to call the sheriff’s office at (678) 493-4080 or the Violent Crimes Unit at (678) 493-4354. • Woodstock police responded to a shoplifting call at Home Depot on Ga. 92 April 22. The loss prevention investigator said a white male in his 20s stole two hammer drills with two security tags, the report said. The officer watched the surveillance tape and confirmed what the investigator said. The suspect was wearing a green shirt, blue jeans and white shoes. He was traveling in a late model two-door Honda, the report said. The estimated value of the items stolen is about $770, the report said. The case was transferred to the Investigative Services Unit. • A Canton police officer was on patrol April 25 on Marietta Highway near Waleska Road. He saw a small pickup traveling fast and the radar showed 51 mph in a 35 mph zone, the report said. The officer conducted a traffic stop just before 8 p.m. and spoke with the driver. The driver reportedly appeared to be “very nervous” and quickly lit a cigarette, the report said. He told the officer he was on probation for possession of methamphetamine, and the officer got consent to search the car, the report said. The passenger reportedly got out of the car holding his pants, and when he was told to put his hands on the vehicle, a digital scale fell out of his pants, the report said. Further investigation revealed suspected methamphetamine located inside a chip can with a false compartment and a glass pipe, the report said. Christopher Hulsey, 22, of Canton, was arrested and charged with possession of methamphetamine, the report said. • Cherokee County sheriff’s deputies responded to a burglary April 29 on Forest Court. The homeowner said he was out of the house between 6:30 p.m. and 11 p.m., and during that time, someone entered his home and stole two computers, the report said. He gave the deputy the names of two suspects he believes could have committed the crime, the report said. The estimated value of both computers is about $4,000, however, one computer had about $10,000 worth of software on it, the report said. No arrests were made at the time of the report. • Cherokee County sheriff’s deputies responded to a call that a pedestrian had been hit by a vehicle on Shannon Lane April 26. The female victim was lying on the ground near the truck when deputies arrived. The man said he and his wife returned from running errands, and she was taking items in the house, the report said. The man thought his wife was inside when he began to back out of the driveway, the report said. He told deputies he felt a bump but didn’t see or hear anything. He put the car in park and walked around the truck to see he hit his wife with the truck, the report said. Paramedics treated the injured woman and took her to Wellstar Kennestone Hospital for more treatment, the report said.
