  • Bad “A”zz Kids + Ice Cream = Jail Time

    Jun, 25 2009 | Written by ATLien

    eating-homemade-ice-cream

    For the record, I dunno if the kid in the pic above is bad or not since I just found this pic on Google and ran with it… but apparently there’s some bad “A”zz kids up north in Gwinett County where two juveniles have been arrested for hitting a man in the head with a hammer and stealing his ice cream cart!

    Police said a 28-year-old man was pushing his ice cream cart down Downs Way in Norcross when two male teens approached him and hit him with a hammer. The juveniles then stole his ice cream cart.

    he victim asked witnesses to call 911 and the witnesses directed police to an address on Squire Court. Investigators obtained consent from the juveniles? guardian to search the residence on Squire Court. During the search, police said they found the ice cream cart. Both juveniles, aged 15 and 16 years old, were arrested and transported to the Regional Youth Detention Center. Both have been charged with one count of armed robbery.

    The victim, Ricardo Cabana, of Atlanta, was treated at Gwinnett Medical Center and released.(source)

    It’s been 90+ degrees for the past few days but DAYUM!…is it really that serious?? Teenagers are out of school and bored to death already??*sigh* I blame the parents for not leaving any ice cream money on the counter before they left for work….

    Breaking News ~ No Jail Time for Chris Brown!

    Jun, 22 2009 | Written by ATLien

    45418480

    TMZ was in the L.A. courtroom as the judge revealed Chris Brown’s fate in the Rihanna felony assault case.? Early into the court proceedings, Chris copped a plea in the case where he won’t do jail time, but he will spend 6 months doing things like road cleanup. He’s also been ordered to stay at least 50 yards away from Rihanna.

    Chris has been ordered to spend 180 days doing hard labor in his home state of Virginia and will be placed on 5 years probation for FELONY assault (he pled guilty). He’ll get supervised probation and will have to appear in court every three months.

    Chris has also been ordered to enroll in a domestic violence counseling program. The judge also imposed a stipulation in the agreement which states that if Brown and Rihanna are at the same public events, the 50-yard stay away turns into 10 yards. The stay away order lasts 5 years.

    The judge said she wanted to make sure that Chris Brown “was treated as any other person who comes through this court.” Therefore, if he violates probation, he could get up to 4 years in prison.

    Rihanna appeared in the courthouse but never entered the courtroom.

    So Brown is now a convicted felon and loses the the following rights: To own a gun, to sit on a jury, subject to search and seizure without a search warrant and he now has limitations on travel.

    Brown left the courtroom and just after he left, Rihanna walked in the courtroom. The judge explained the deal to her and spoke to Rihanna about the protective order. (Source)

    Mugshot Mania ~ Another Smart Walmart Shopper

    Jun, 22 2009 | Written by ATLien

    orignal_1147001_83j9scz_williams

    When I read this story, I had a strange feeling of deja vu. I know you guys recall the Mom who left her two infants in the car to shoplift, well this weekend yet another Walmart shopper was caught and given the mother of the year award for leaving her twins in a hot car while she shopped at a Clayton County Walmart:

    A Barnesville mother was arrested Saturday night after leaving her 4-month-old twins in her locked car while shopping at a Clayton County Wal-Mart.

    The infants, who weren?t harmed, were discovered by another shopper who could hear their cries through the cracked windows of Jenesia Williams? Toyota Scion.

    ?I was in total shock,? said Darlene Marshall, of Stockbridge, who was parked next to the Scion. She and her husband were leaving the Ellenwood store, a little after 10 p.m., when she discovered the twins.

    Marshall said she hesitated before calling 911.

    ?I just assumed the mother would be right out,? she said. Instead, it would be ?at least 20 minutes? before Williams, 26, reappeared, Marshall said.

    Police were waiting for Williams, who was arrested and charged with two counts of child cruelty. The children were taken to an area hospital, where they were check out and released to the custody their father. (source)

    It’s been upwards of 90 degrees lately and those kids could have died in that heat! I’m calling for all you dumb mothers to give up your kids today. You don’t have to keep em if you don’t have common sense. Seriously. Their lives are in your hands and if you can’t protect them let somebody else do it.? That’s my PSA for the day.

    Mugshot Mania ~ Atlanta Man Convicted of Pimping His Cousin

    Jun, 19 2009 | Written by ATLien

    opie-mugshot

    An Atlanta man was convicted on Thursday of taking his 16-year-old first cousin to Metropolitan Parkway for prostitution.

    Zaccheus Obie, 26, will be sentenced on Wednesday for one count of pimping a minor. He faces a possible 20-year prison sentence. According to testimony, police learned of Obie after the girl was arrested in May 2008. He bought her clothes and paid to have her hair done before she was sent to stroll Metropolitan Parkway. According to testimony, he took her money.

    While the case involving his 16-year-old cousin has been resolved, he also is charged with raping the girl?s younger sister, also Obie?s first cousin. That case has not been taken to trial. (Source)

    I have no words for this scumbag….

    100 lbs of Pot Discovered During Traffic Stop

    Jun, 18 2009 | Written by ATLien

    Click for Video

    (Click photo above for video)

    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…

    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…

        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. 👽🛸

        The Kenya Moore Hair Spa drama just got even MESSI The Kenya Moore Hair Spa drama just got even MESSIER, chile! 
The landlord has officially clapped back in court — filing their answer to Kenya’s counterclaim, and whew, they brought receipts on receipts! 

According to the filing, Kenya hasn’t paid a dime in rent or utilities since December 2024, which technically makes her a squatter! 😬 And about that $80K tenant improvement allowance she’s been fighting for? The landlord says she’s in default and violated several terms, meaning that deal is void.

This whole thing is turning into a Bravo-level courtroom saga… minus the peach! 🍑

The full 99-page amended complaint (with all the juicy details) is available now on Patreon + Members Only! http://patreon.com/atlien or hit the link in bio for the exclusive legal tea.

So what do y’all think? Can Kenya spin this, or is the Hair Spa officially a wrap?
