    A routine traffic stop netted Clayton County officials over 100 pounds of marijuana last night. Around 5 p.m., a Clayton officer pulled over a Ford van for making an improper lane change on Mt. Zion Road near Morrow. As the officer approached the driver side window, he observed that the driver was extremely nervous and that there was a strong smell coming from the vehicle that he identified as possibly being marijuana. When officers searched the van, they found 100 pounds of suspected marijuana with a street value of about a half-million dollars.

    100lbs

    The van’s driver, 48-year-old Rowan Jeffers, was arrested on drug trafficking charges, and police later executed a search warrant at his residence on New Haven Drive in Jonesboro, where they found another seven pounds of marijuana in the garage.

    Channel 2 cameras were rolling when Clayton County’s SWAT team raided the home last night. It was revealed that this is the third time the couple?s home has been raided:

    “I don’t know what’s going on…that’s all,? said Sheralyn Felix

    .Channel 2 Action News reporter Eric Philips said, ?That?s the same thing you said in 2006.?

    ?There you have it,? she said. ?I?m a poor woman?I?m a poor woman, just in the circumstance and I don?t understand why these people are here.?

    Randy and Sheralyn Felix, as well as the driver of the vehicle, Rowan Jeffers, all face drug charges.

    Eric is gangsta! Love it…

    Atlanta was the central celebration location yesterday (June 16th) for what would have been Tupac Shakur’s 38th birthday. The 1st annual Tupac Birthday All-Star Benefit Concert was held at The Tupac Amaru Shakur Center for the Arts in Atlanta and his mother, Afeni Shakur & actor/comedian Mike Epps joined forces to honor the fallen rapper.

    The unique partnership was created by Epps, who despite juggling a national comedy tour, promotion of the new DVD ?Funny Bidness? and two box-office films, ?Next Day Air? and ?Janky Promoters,? felt honored to interrupt his busy schedule to celebrate the late rapper:

    ?I?m a long-time fan of Pac?s music. It?s always been the soundtrack for overcoming struggle and when my life was in a desolate place it was his messages that helped bring me through,? says Epps. ?I wouldn?t be where I am today if it wasn?t for his inspiration. It?s an honor for me to stand alongside his mother, Afeni Shakur in celebrating such a personal moment in her son?s history.?

    Check out a few flix below:

    Mugshot Mania ~ The “Exorcist”

    Jun, 17 2009 | Written by ATLien

    Sandra Alfred ~ Exorcist

    Meet Sandra Alford, 46 of Lilburn, Georgia. Alford was arrested Friday for false imprisonment and cruelty to children for using handcuffs to restrain her 15-year-old son after either she or family friend Larry Powell (pictured below) called Lilburn police to report an “unruly juvenile.”

    Powell

    Police arrived and were told that the two were attempting to perform an “exorcism” on the young boy. An investigation revealed that the teen had been held against his will with handcuffs and was denied food and water for periods of 12 hours at a time over a three-day period as the two attempted to evict the evil spirit that had taken over his body. The teen was taken to Gwinnett Medical Center where he was treated for minor injuries and dehydration and later released.

    The officer who applied for the arrest warrants noted that Alfred may suffer from schizophrenia and delusions. She and Powell both remain in jail awaiting a June 26th hearing. The case is now under investigation by the Gwinnett County District Attorney?s Office and the Department of Family and Children?s Services.

    All I wanna know is…how did investigators know they were lying about the exorcism? Who’s to say that bad “A”zz kid wasn’t possessed? *sigh* Now there’s one more teen aged devil walking amongst us. Lord save us all…

    Usher/Tameka Drama Unfolds… [Official Documents]

    Jun, 17 2009 | Written by ATLien

    usher-2

    The divorce papers have been filed, the attorneys have all been hired and now the good part begins. The full divorce documents have been revealed and it appears that Usher’s been gone long before our assumption of early this year.? Divorce documents indicate that the two have lived apart since July 2008, spending not even a year together as a married couple after tying the knot August 3, 2007:

    “The marriage between the parties is irretrievably broken,” read the documents, filed in Georgia’s Fulton County Superior Court.

    “There is no reasonable hope of reconciliation.”

    Typical divorce? I dunno. Strange thing is…Mrs. Raymond, who’s professed through her attorney’s to be a loving and selfless wife, hired a private investigator to trail Usher soon after he split. Usher’s attorneys are seeking those surveillance documents from Tameka, as well as any “notes, cards, letters, photographs, film, documents, tapes, voice recordings, gift, jewelry, clothes” or other evidence that reflects on Usher’s conduct during their marriage, as well as detective reports, photos or recordings that have resulted from either “surveillance or investigation.” They also seek “any and all diaries or personal notes kept?during the course of the marriage.”

    18 pages of official documents for your reading pleasure, as well as a ‘surprise’ Usher video under the cut: Continue Reading…

    Survey Says: ATLANTA Drivers Rank Top in Road Rage

    Jun, 17 2009 | Written by ATLien

    roadrage500

    I know you’re not surprised to hear that Atlanta is among the five worst cities in the U.S. when it comes to road rage incidents and aggressive driving habits. Ha! You can’t be. If you live here…you see it every day. Crazy “A”zz people cutting you off, speeding up so you can’t merge, high-beaming you for driving too slow. Yeah….all of that. We’ve got it bad here and I can only assume it’s because we spend half of our lives sitting in traffic.

    “In any populated city in this country, you?ll find a lot of road incidents, arguments, whatever you?ll call it,? said Lt. Paul Cosper of the Georgia State Patrol. ?And more the roads are congested, the more aggravated people will get. When they get aggravated, they?ll yell or start blowing their horn. The next thing, hand gestures get involved and it escalates from there,? Cosper said.

    The way to defuse most road rage situations is easy, Cosper said: ?You become a courteous driver.? (Source)

    My favorite African proverb says: “There are two things over which you have complete dominion, authority and control….your mind and your mouth.? Notice that “Traffic” isn’t included in that list, so as you sit in traffic later today remember to be kind to your fellow drivers. If someone cuts you off, issue a friendly wave instead of the finger. Your efforts combined might actually move the ATL further down the list next year.? That’s my PSA for the day….

        They try to silence strong Black women for telling They try to silence strong Black women for telling the truth — but somehow misogyny gets rewarded with views, clicks, and applause.

What’s even more disturbing? So many women are cheering it on.
At some point, we have to ask: Why is disrespect toward Black women still profitable?

This isn’t entertainment.
This is accountability.

        This was not a “read.” This was an unprovoked, This was not a “read.” This was an unprovoked, problematic rant — and it needed to be called out. Junkie Dineva went after Tamar Braxton’s parents, upbringing, and mental health for no legitimate reason, and that kind of misogyny should never be excused as entertainment.

Going viral for disrespecting Black women is the real issue — and that’s what we’re unpacking on ATLien Live.

        Straight From the A to the Hall of Fame! This one Straight From the A to the Hall of Fame! This one hits different. 👽🛸

OutKast’s induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 2025 isn’t just a win for hip-hop — it’s a celebration of Atlanta’s heartbeat. Before there was Real Housewives, Love & Hip Hop, or any Atlanta reality show, there was the Atlanta music scene — real stories, real people, and a creative energy that could only come from the Southside.

I grew up in Southwest Atlanta, and back then, it wasn’t unusual to bump into (or run with) the same circles as OutKast and the Dungeon Family. We were all just young ATL dreamers finding our voices, our style, and our lane. Somewhere along the way, I kinda inserted myself as an unofficial member of that crew, a sister to the culture, always front and center, documenting the movement before “content creator” was even a thing.

When I started blogging in 2007, Straight From The A wasn’t about reality TV or viral gossip. It was about the music, the movement, and the people who put Atlanta on the map. My blog name, my pen name ATLien, my whole digital identity was inspired by @outkast , @goodiemob , @killermike , @ceelogreen @sleepybrown , and the whole Dungeon Family - the original ATLiens who made the world respect the South. 

And Killer Mike — I’ll never forget how you encouraged me to keep pushing nearly 20 years ago when blogging was still that “weird internet thing.”

Today, I celebrate the legends who defined Atlanta’s sound, spirit, and swagger. True innovators. True visionaries. Forever ATL. 👽🛸
