Oconee County Sheriff's deputies arrested the 17-year-old and her mother in connection with an alleged incident at Wal-mart last week. An arrest does not mean a conviction.
A Winder teen authorities eventually determined to be 17-years-old and her mother told Oconee County Sheriff's deputies the girl "could not be arrested" on a shoplifting charge because she was only 16, according to an incident report. Deputies Nov. 30 were called to Wal-mart on Epps Bridge Parkway where a store security guard said he'd witnessed the mother-daughter duo try to steal more than $500 worth of merchandise. When asked for her date of birth, a deputy says the teen, who initially identified herself as Lavera, paused before stating "02/01/1992." The deputy replied that that would make her 20.

Oconee County Sheriff's deputies were called to a trailer in the Pinewood Estates South mobile home park last week where a worker with the Division of Family and Children Services (DFCS) said a woman had threatened to hit her with a broken, sharp, metal broom handle.

A late night single-car crash in Oconee County led to the early morning arrest of two Walton County men. Around 11 p.m. Thursday, a deputy was driving along Ga.
