Lake Lanier in the News


From the linked article: "The suspect was later identified as 55-year-old William Thomas Buker Jr. of Buford, Hall sheriff’s office spokeswoman B.J. Williams said. Buker was charged with felony theft by receiving, possession of methamphetamine and going inside a guard line with drugs."

"Guard line"
appears to be a Georgia thing. From an online article, "What is ‘crossing the guard line’ in Georgia?"
“Crossing the guard line” draws its name from the fact that defendants who have been arrested and charged with a crime are typically searched twice — once by the arresting officer and once when they cross into the jail, just past the guard line. While the arresting officer is supposed to pat down every suspect, they sometimes miss something small, like a loose Xanax in someone’s pocket or a marijuana joint rolled up in the cuff of someone’s pants.
Unfortunately, if you happen to be the person under arrest, this puts you in a bad position. You may not know if you should remain silent about the drugs the officer missed to avoid damaging your legal defense. You may simply — in your shock at being arrested — have forgotten the drugs were there. Now, what might have been a simple drug possession charge is a felony.
