A prisoner in the DeKalb County Jail was recently charged with aggravated assault after attacking another inmate.

27 year old Andrew Dayton West of Tramel Branch Road, Alexandria is under a $20,000 bond and his court date is March 15.

Sheriff Patrick Ray said that on Thursday, February 22 a DeKalb County Correctional Officer observed West on camera stomping on another inmate. The officer then alerted other correctional officers.

West caused serious bodily injury to another inmate by stomping his head while he was laying on a mat. The injured prisoner was transported to the emergency room of the hospital where he was treated and released back into custody.

21 year old Katelyn Michelle Walz of Smithville is charged with driving under the influence. She was also cited for violation of the implied consent law, no insurance, and open container. Her bond is $1,500 and her court date is March 15.

Sheriff Ray said that on Saturday, February 17 a deputy was called to Sparta Highway near the Midnight Express where a vehicle was in the ditch.

Upon arrival he spoke to the driver of the automobile, Walz who said she had turned too sharply and missed the driveway. Walz had a strong odor of alcohol coming from her person and her eyes were glassy, red, and watery. She was unsteady on her feet. Walz submitted to but performed poorly on field sobriety tasks. When she refused to comply with the implied consent law, a search warrant was obtained for a sample of her blood. The officer found an open can of beer under the driver seat of the vehicle.

All political candidates are asked not to place their campaign signs on any school property in DeKalb County.

Why?

Because the Board of Education has an active policy prohibiting it.

Policy #1.806 “Advertising and Distribution of Materials in Schools” states that “No part of the school system, including the facilities, the name, the staff, and the students, shall be used for advertising or promoting the interests of any commercial, political, or other non-school agency or organization. There are exceptions but those apply mainly to non-profit or governmental agencies that promote education or are pertinent to students’ interest and not for political purposes.

The policy goes on to state that “political literature shall not be distributed through the school to students, nor sent home to parents, nor placed in teachers’ mail boxes, lounges, or on school premises.”

“Political signs for people who are running for public office shall not be allowed on school property”.

Any political signs placed on school properties are to be removed.
