Flock cameras destroyed in Cobb County. Investigators say a man fired a projectile at
them. Newshead reporter Denise Dillon is live in Cobb County and one of those cameras, Denise,
was in a park. Yeah, that's right. It's this camera right here in East Cobb Park on Roswell
Road. You can see the camera now is nothing but melted plastic. It had been intentionally damaged.
Flock cameras melted and burned in Cobb County. Investigators say three cameras at Home Depot
and Roswell Road were damaged late Tuesday night. Two caught fire. The third had two bullet holes.
And the flock camera at the entrance to East Cobb Park was melted.
Investigators say someone fired a projectile at it, then left a deflock sticker on the pole.
Why would people do that? It's for your safety. It's for the safety for the people.
Whoever is doing it is not seeing the positive aspect of it.
Flock technology was used in the location of the suspect.
Police used flock cameras to capture images of the vehicle and tag number,
leading investigators to the arrest of 25-year-old Colby Williams of McDonough. He's charged with
multiple counts of arson, criminal damage and interference with government property.
Whoever did that, y'all wrong for that man.
The vandalism happened just a few hours after a town hall on plot cameras in West Cobb wrapped up,
and the day after a town hall in East Cobb was held, just a few miles away from the damaged cameras.
And I'm glad that the camera actually caught up the individual who
could know that you know he's been arrested and I hope that you know
elements like those are going to be off the street.
And cameras in Henry County and Marietta were also damaged. Marietta,
please tell me they are working with Cobb PD to determine if Williams is responsible for the
damaged cameras there as well. Reporting live in Cobb County, Denise Dillon, Fox 5 News.
