3 arrested for shooting BB gun at cars, businesses

ACWORTH, Ga. -- Acworth Police have arrested three people for damaging several cars and stores near the north end of Cobb Parkway.

Several witnesses said the perpetrators rode around in a silver Chevrolet Impala, shooting at cars and buildings with a BB or pellet gun, according to Acworth Police spokesman Maj. Wayne Dennard.

Patrol officers spotted the Impala in the parking lot of the Walmart on Cobb Parkway in Kennesaw and identified the driver as 17-year-old Caleb Fields.

Fields was arrested at the scene. Two other suspects -- 18-year-old Andrew Morgan and 22-year-old Christopher Kellner -- were arrested later at Morgan's Acworth home.

All three suspects were charged with criminal property damage stemming from at least 31 shooting incidents in Acworth, Kennesaw and unincorporated Cobb, according to Dennard. Fields was also charged with marijuana possession.

Dennard said additional charges may be possible as more victims come forward.

Doctor sentenced to prison for child pornography

Dr. Andrew Sutton was sentenced Friday. Authorities say the 49-year-old Kennesaw ENT solicited naked pictures of children and sent explicit pictures of himself to minors.

"The possession of sexually explicit images of children is a serious crime, but this defendant went beyond that when he distributed these images with the hope of receiving additional sexually explicit materials to add to his collection," U.S. Attorney Sally Quillian Yates said in a statement.

Sutton pleaded guilty to the charges against him in December 2011. His eight years in prison will be followed by 10 years of supervised release.

When nobody answered the door, the suspect walked into the backyard, found a metal object and tried to pry open the back door. He was unsuccessful at opening the door and eventually gave up. All of his actions were caught on tape.

The man in the video appears to be a white man in his late teens or 20s. He has a beard and short, light-colored hair, and is wearing dark pants, a striped shirt, tan work boots and a University of Notre Dame jacket.
