Woman attacks firefighter with shovel MERIS LUTZ mlutz@covnews.com
Firefighters who responded to a call for medical assistance on Gum Creek Road Saturday were ambushed by a woman who leapt out of the bushes armed with a shovel and began chasing them while
shouting threats such as “I’m going to kill you.” A Sheriff ’s deputy who arrived on the scene found 47-year-old Tina Jill Rice standing in the front yard, while firefighters waited in the road. The officer retrieved the shovel and placed the woman under arrest. Rice was charged with
obstruction and simple assault. It was not known as of Monday afternoon if she was being evaluated by a mental health professional. Three separate incidents involving guns were also reported over the weekend. On Friday, Timothy Lee Phillips pulled into a parking space at the Dollar General
on Highway 81 where he was confronted by a black man who was unknown to him driving a dark blue Chevrolet truck. Upon leaving, the man followed Phillips to Roseberry Road, where Phillips pulled over. At that point, the man pointed a handgun in his face. The file is still open and
the assailant has not been identified. Sheriff ’s deputies also responded to two calls about gunshots. The source of one, reported on East Country Woods Drive Saturday, could not be identified, but a local woman told officers she suspected her ex-husband was responsible.
Another report of gunshots on Hastings Lane was traced to 26-year-old Timothy Ryan Willard, who told officers he was shooting rabbits in his yard. Willard was taken into custody and charged with reckless conduct, firearm discharge while under the influence, and obstruction.

Two brothers arrested for shooting man MARTIN RAND III news@covnews.com
Two brothers were arrested over the weekend after allegedly shooting a man in an attempt to rob him at his residence Saturday. Malcom Noel, 21, is charged with armed robbery and aggravated battery. His 18-year-old younger brother, Justice Noel, is charged with armed robbery. Rockdale County Sheriff 's Office spokesperson Cpl. Michael Camp says that Malcom Noel is believed to be the shooter in this incident. Around 2 a.m. that morning, RCSO received a call of a person shot at a residence in the 1700 block of Ga. Highway 212. The 18-year-old victim was shot in the leftshoulder area after tussling with the suspects in the front yard of the house. He was transported to Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta to be treated for the injury. The victim had known the suspects "for a while," says Camp, but it's not known if the suspects went to the victim's place of residence with the intent to rob him. They made off with a small amount of cash. Later that day around 3:30 p.m., RCSO obtained search and arrest warrants for the brothers, who both live at 702 Rockmont Circle in Conyers. Neither was home, but after the Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) unit arrived, Malcom Noel arrived as well, where he was arrested. Deputies found two handguns in the vehicle. "We need more evidence to see if they are the same ones used in the
shooting," said Camp. Justice Noel was arrested an hour later at his
place of employment, a local restaurant. The Noel brothers are
being held in the Rockdale County Jail. No bond has been set as of yet.
