Sought By Poli

Investigators with the Troup
County Sheriff's Office are still
looking for three suspects in con-
nection with the Monday
evening attempted armed rob-
bery of Bagley's Grocery.
One subject was arrested
near the scene Monday evening,
according to Troup County
Sheriff Denny Turner.
The incident occurred at
around 6:00 p.m. Monday
evening when three black males
entered Bagley's Grocery, one
carrying a handgun.
The owner of the store,
Henry Bagley, grabbed the sub-
ject with the gun, pushing the
gun away. During the ensuing
struggle, Bagley grabbed his
own gun from behind the count-
er and fired twice missing the
suspects.
The three then fled the store.
"After the suspects fled, a
passerby stopped at the store
and Bagley was able to tell them
what had happened," Turner
says. "That citizen then drove
down the road and got a descrip-
tion ofoa vehicle that three sub-
jects were fleeing to.
"One suspect was located in
a wooded area off of Gray Hill
Road and the other three are still
at large," Turner said.
CEDRICK BROWN,19, of
Valley, Alabama was taken into
custody and charged with crim-
inal attempt, armed robbery and
aggravated assault. He is being
held at the Troup County Jail
without bond.
Deputies are still looking for
the three black males who fled
the area in a light colored older
model four-door vehicle with a
vinyl top.
One black male was wearing
ablack shirt and a black stock-
ing over his head. The second
was wearing a brown shirt and
a gold chain. The third suspect,
who entered the store. taken
into custody anda foh:th was
believed to be driving the car.
"Our investigators have been
working all night on this and
have a few leads," Turner said.
"We are also asking the public
for any information they may
have.
"If anyone saw the vehicle
or the suspects in the Bartley
Road area at around 6:00 Monday
evening, we'd like for them to
call us at the Sheriff's Office or

THE COUNCIL approved a
contract with Troup County for
inmate detail service.
The contract calls for the
county to provide a complete
work detail crew to include a cor-
rectional officer and six to eight
inmates.
The contract becomes effec-
tive on July 1, 2000 and can be
renewed annually.
ALSO APPROVED was the
city's Comprehensive Plan
Schedule. The plan was discussed
a length at a public hearing prior
to the council meeting.
Aldrich told the council the
felt the plan was a "pretty good
one" and the state would be
responsible for the expenses of
the plan.
Aldrich said the plan would
expire in ten years, unless
changes be cne necessary.
Rural Community
Development members are
expected to work with the city to
develop and complete the plan.
The city's planning committee
expects to meet monthly to also
discuss the plan.
Mildred Burdette, a citizen of
Hogansville, suggested all coun-
cil members and planning com-
mittee members be given an
updated comprehensive plan.
THE COUNCIL approved

meeting.

Mayor Vetoes

council voted 4-1 to adopt the
ordinance.
St. Clair said he felt the ordi-
nance will probably be dis-
cussed again at the next meet-
ing of council
If the council gives the same
4-1 vote, the Mayor would not
be able to veto the ordinance a
second time. If the council
adopts the ordinance by a 3-2
vote, the Mayor could once
again veto it.
If it ends in a 3-2 vote, the
council would probably have to
return to the drawing board and
redraft the ordinance before it
would be adopted.
Opposition has arisen from
landowners who are concerned
about the ordinance in its pres-
ent form.
Dr. Hugh S. Thompson of
Fayetteville told the
Hogansville Home News this
week he was opposed to any
restriction and he said he will
take any action necessary to
"remedy this situation."
"I consider your proposed
restrictions to my property, in
addition to those which cur-
rently exist, to be a taking of
my property without compen-
sation," Thompson wrote in a
letter to the council.
In a letter to'the mayor, coun-
cil and city manager, John M.
Arnold of Hogansville, said the
proposed buffers and restric-
tions around the Hogansville
reservoir and the Blue Line
creeks within the watershed
render approximately 224 acres
useless and of little or no value.
Therefore such restrictions
would be a taking of property
without condemnation.
Arnold said it is his opinion,
