The arrest of a suspect for stealing tools from a home on Williamsburg Road brings to seven the number of arrests by Bradley County Sheriff's deputies in areas sustaining heavy damage from last Wednesday's storms. The most recent arrest came just after midnight Wednesday when deputies were called to a reported burglary-in-progress at a home on Williamsburg Road. A concerned citizen called 9-1-1 after seeing someone in the residence with a flashlight. The home is one of many in this area that is uninhabitable. When deputies got there they say they found Scott Charles Carey, age 37, kneeling behind some bushes. Carey, who lived nearby, had a plastic bag containing a number of tools that property owner Carl Schlageter identified as his.
How odd people are. Now of course these Cretans are in the minority- most people are decent and want to help other folks suffering in distress. But why is it that whenever there is some disaster there will be a scammer and a looter on the scene as fast as a fly on a pile of dung? Because, as I may have pointed out a time or two, unaided by the grace of Christ, people are incapable of doing good and can, and will, only do evil.
