Sandy Springs investigators say a metro Atlanta man sent $4,000 after a caller claimed he had missed jury duty and would be arrested unless he paid immediately.
According to investigators, the money trail and phone records eventually pointed to LaMarcus Johnson, an inmate serving time in a Georgia state prison who is accused of organizing the scheme.
Police say the victim nearly lost another $4,500 before a second transaction was stopped.
Authorities have a simple warning: If someone calls demanding money to avoid arrest, it's a scam.

- Description
- The family of the youngest child injured during the deadly incident on the Goliath roller coaster at Six Flags Over Georgia says their son is physically recovering but remains traumatized by what happened.
According to investigators, four children between the ages of 12 and 15 were hurt during the incident that claimed the life of Hassan Kariem. The father of the youngest victim told Channel 2 that his son has been released from the hospital, but the family is still struggling to process the tragedy.
As the investigation continues, state officials say engineers and investigators have remained at the park around the clock reviewing evidence related to the deadly incident. Under Georgia law, the Goliath roller coaster must remain closed while the investigation is underway.
Meanwhile, Six Flags Over Georgia is preparing to reopen, though some families say the tragedy has changed how they feel about returning to the park.

- Families living near the Meta Stanton Springs Data Center say their well water has become contaminated with sediment.
They've documented discolored water, clogged filters, damaged appliances and say they're hauling water to use at home and for their animals.
A lawsuit alleges data center construction disturbed the groundwater system, allowing sediment to enter nearby wells.
Meta says independent consultants found the construction is not likely the cause and says groundwater flows away from the affected properties.
The legal battle could determine what's really happening underground.

Spelman College and Morehouse College officially broke ground on The Den at 850 West, a new affordable student housing community that will provide 305 apartments and nearly 800 beds for students at the Atlanta University Center.
The $147 million public-private development is being built along Historic West End Avenue and is expected to open in about two years. Leaders say the project will provide affordable, modern housing just steps from campus while helping address rising housing costs facing students.
Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens called the development an investment in both students and the surrounding community. Supporters say the project will improve affordability, enhance student safety and create economic opportunities through local construction and workforce participation.

- MARTA's new trains are coming. But when?
- Runtime

- Description
- Metro Atlanta riders are still waiting for MARTA's long-anticipated new train fleet, but transit leaders insist the timeline has not changed despite repeated delays. MARTA CEO Jonathan Hunt told city leaders the trains are "extremely close" to entering service, but stopped short of providing a firm launch date.
The new rail cars, built by Stadler, were originally expected to begin operating years ago. Officials later hoped they would debut before the FIFA World Cup, but riders are still waiting. MARTA says the remaining delay is tied to safety certification approvals involving the Georgia Department of Transportation and the Federal Transit Administration.
The agency has invested more than $600 million in 56 new four-car train sets, totaling 224 rail cars. Riders can expect more space, the ability to walk between train cars, and modernized features once the fleet enters service.
