Two men from Macon will get prison time after their convictions in Jackson County: 22 year-old Jaiquan Chase and 23 year-old Dailan Alston were found guilty for last year’s armed robbery and shooting in Commerce. A 68 year-old man and his 62 year-old wife were robbed at gunpoint; the man was shot and wounded in the holdup that happened last July.

A man from Royston is killed in a holiday weekend crash in Franklin County: the Georgia State Patrol says 33 year-old Aaron Marsten died in a single-vehicle wreck on Highway 51. State Troopers say their accident investigation is ongoing.
