Board Commissioner is behind bars,
accused of threatening to kill a family member.
According to the Sheriff's Office,
Kendrick Butts got into a verbal dispute last Tuesday
at his Milledgeville residence.
The family member told deputies Butts made threats against
her life the following morning.
Deputies say the family member provided them with an indoor ring
security camera that captured audio
of Butts admitting on a call that he threatened the
relative's life. Investigators say
no physical violence occurred. He was booked into the
Baldwin County Jail on charges of terroristic threats and acts.
The Clark County Sheriff's
Office in Athens has announced new improvements
to the jail after acknowledging the inmate deaths
that occurred last year. During a news conference,
officials revealed the enhancements, including
the return of on-site video communication with inmates,
a facility-wide technological upgrade,
and new medical equipment.
The facility will also be updating its security cameras and other
safety technologies. All right, take a look at this.

a spaghetti o's can that was stuck around
a stray cat's head they found it after getting
a tip from a concerned citizen but they say this
