Macon Police arrested a Conyers man, after finding $5,000 worth of suspected drugs in his possession. An officer, with the help of his K-9, arrested Robert D. Hinton last Wednesday on I-16. The officer pulled him over for failing to maintain lane, but during the stop the officer found what police are calling a suspected 57 grams of Marijuana, 41 grams of Cocaine, and 101 tablets of Ecstasy. Hinton is charged with Cocaine Trafficking, Possession of Schedule I drugs with Intent to Distribute Ecstasy, and Felony Marijuana Possession.

Hinton is being held at the Bibb County LEC.

The man accused of murdering Mercer Law graduate Lauren Giddings, now faces seven counts of sexual exploitation of a child.

25-year-old Stephen McDaniel is already in the Bibb County Jail on that Felony Murder charge, and for two burglary charges.

This afternoon, a news release from Macon Police spokeswoman, Jami Gaudet, said Police Chief Mike Burns and District Attorney Greg Winters released this information, but will not speak any further on the charges at this time.

In a news conference this morning, Secretary of State Brian Kemp rules in Bibb County's favor in long standing border war between Monroe County.

Millions of dollars in tax revenue were at stake in this long standing dispute. According to a land survey done in 2009 by Terry Scarborough, the Monroe County line should be farther south. Bibb County officials claim the survey was done incorrectly.

Kemp says he felt uncomfortable using Scarborough's survey because there wasn't enough evidence supporting it. When asked if the amount of money Bibb County would lose was a factor Kemp replied, "No."

Kemp says, "I did not feel comfortable setting a county line that I didn't know 100% in my mind was the right location.

According to Monroe County Commissioner Larry Evans this dispute is far from over. He says commissioners will get together soon and plan to file an appeal. Evans says he is shocked by the decision. Evans believes Monroe County had more than substantial amount of evidence.

"Certainly from a political stand point there are many more voters in Bibb County than·there are in Monroe County and that may have had a bearing on it," says Evans.
