Watkinsville Police Help Woman Block Harassing Calls

Watkinsville Police came to the aid of a Concord Drive resident Saturday evening who said she'd been receiving harassing phone calls by someone known to her.

According to Police Chief Lee O'Dillon's weekly news release, officers provided assistance with blocking the calls and, if the harassment continues, criminal charges could be pending.

O'Dillon recapped some of the other incidents that police responded to during the week ending on April 29:

• Police responded to Barnett Shoals Road at First Street on Tuesday morning, April 24, after a 2012 Jeep Patriot and a 1995 Nissan 240-SX were involved in a mishap. No one was injured. Both vehicles were attempting to enter the same lane at the same time.

• Just before 5 p.m. on Tuesday, April 24, the driver of a 2003 Honda Civic ran into a 2008 Dodge Caravan as the Dodge was attempting to make a right turn from Main Street onto School Street. No one was injured. A 64-year-old Winder man was charged with following too closely.
