ROSWELL, Ga. â The Roswell Farmers and Artisans Market has moved to Roswell Presbyterian Church.
The market had been located at the City Hall grounds since 2010 when the city agreed to partner with market organizers, Market Manager Sherri Schreiner said.
Up till recently, the city had placed a moratorium on special event permits and in-person meetings because of the COVID pandemic.
âWhen we found out that we were not going to be able to have our market this year, we were stunned,â Schreiner said. âThe reasons we got were COVID-related but didn t make a lot of sense since we were allowed to operate last year.â
ROSWELL, Ga. â Police received reports of three separate auto break-ins near Alpharetta Street on March 22.
Witnesses described a gray Dodge Charger with a temporary tag near the scene of each of the thefts, police said.
Handguns were stolen from two of the vehicles and a gym bag was reportedly stolen from the third car.
One of the victims told police he followed the Dodge Charger from the scene of the break-in but lost sight of the car about 2 miles later at a Palmer Dodge dealership.
Jose Roni Colindres-Florez, 35, address unknown, was arrested and charged with aggravated assault.
Police said Colindres-Florez was known to guests at the party as someone who could become adversarial after drinking. When he showed up to the March 27 gathering, apparently after having been drinking, the host wouldnât let him in and asked him to leave.Â
Colindres-Florez responded by hitting the victim in the head and neck with a glass beer bottle, police said. The victim was able to avoid some of the blows and did not sustain any serious injuries.
Colindres-Florez left the scene, striking the victimâs car with his own on the way out. He was later apprehended at a bar along Holcomb Bridge Road.
