Walker County Sheriff’s Office has made at least one, possibly four, arrests related to the theft of six vehicles from Cagle’s Used Cars on Thursday evening.

According to sources, 18-year-old Nick Snyder was picked up late Tuesday and has confessed to the crime at Cagle’s, along with several other vehicle thefts over the last few weeks.

Mr. Snyder has apparently admitted stealing this Nissan XTerra several weeks ago. The vehicle was found stuck in mud, windows broken and interior slashed up – similar to the condition of the Cagle’s vehicles taken last week. The SUV was abandoned on a large tract of land near LaFayette High School, on the opposite side of town from where the other stolen vehicles were found.

We’re not convinced that the people arrested are the only ones involved, but this is probably as far as the Sheriff’s Office will take its investigation.

“ONE OF LAFAYETTE’S LANDMARK SERVICE STATION BUILDINGS WILL SOON BE RESTORED TO IT’S 1950’s SPLENDOR. ELITE CUSTOM PAINT AND BODY OF LAFAYETTE HAS PURCHASED THE BUILDING NOW OCCUPIED BY MAXI MUFFLER, AT 303 NORTH MAIN STREET. WOLFGANG GEIGER IS ASKING THE PUBLIC’S HELP TO LOCATE PICTURES OF THE SERVICE STATION BUILDING AS IT LOOKED IN THE 1950’s OR 60’s. HE PLANS TO OPERATE THE BUSINESS AS ‘QUEEN CITY AUTO REPAIR AND MUFFLER.’ ANYONE WITH AN OLDER PHOTO OF 303 NORTH MAIN, IS ASKED TO CONTACT GEIGER AT 706 639 9493.”

Mr. Geiger’s best hope for finding a photo of the building from half a century ago will be in the library’s Walker County Messenger microfilm archives, or in an old yearbook advertisement. If you have any photos of the building from the era he’s looking for, call Wolfgang or e-mail them to us at pics@cityoflafayettega.com.

As promised, last night at 8 PM the Underground posted a look at 2012 local political candidates.

Walker GOP Chairman Nathan Smith is bragging? complaining? about the dearth of Democratic candidates to qualify for local elections. Only two in Walker, and none in Catoosa. Chattooga remains the region’s lone holdout.

Another argument against a new football stadium in Atlanta. Best case scenario, ticket prices go up. Worst case scenario, the state ends up paying a good portion of the estimated $1 billion price tag.

But, as pointed out several times, the State Legislature put this into motion two years ago… Unless current state leaders intervene and block it, this will happen regardless of how much we complain about it.
