Authorities hoped to enlist the aid of a UPS manager in intercepting a package of marijuana. Instead, investigators say, the manager took matters into her own hands. Rather than let police know a package in her store contained suspected drugs, Anna K. Wright of Atlanta is accused of stealing the pot, selling it, and then lying about what she did.
“Not only did this defendant abuse her position as a UPS Store manager by stealing a package, she then distributed marijuana found in the package and lied to the federal agents.” said U.S. Attorney Sally Quillian Yates. Legalize it and you wouldn't have this problem.Authorities hoped to enlist the aid of a UPS manager in intercepting a package of... more
Lord Hector Diono former front man to the 1990’s rap group Kore Houze Tribe told bossip.com he is leaving the Kore Houze family for good. Lord Hector Diono is the founder/CEO of Dark Town Music Group, Dark Town Graphics, ATL, Rosenthorn Films and Hoodwatch Media Corp an online media company started by the rapper in 2001. “We are going in two different directions creatively” said the CEO of Kore Houze Entertainment October 14, 2009 during a phone conversation with Hector that quickly escalated to an argument concerning a matter unrelated to the music business. CEO Andre South Kak Scott advised the rapper during this argument that “from this day forward there will be no reason for he and Dark Town Music Group to ever associate with one another again”. Lord Hector Diono, whose real name is Lord Michael Chambers Rosenthorn, communicated this to his mentor and family and new business associates, and has decided to honor without prejudice the demand of the CEO of Kore Houze Entertainment severing ties of fifteen years immediately, The two hip hop heads have endured beefs before in the late 1990’s and have shared brotherly hardships as well. Lord Hector Diono once slept on the couch of the Kore Houze CEO Andre “South Kak” Scott for 6 and half months after being evicted from his apartment a year after the split between he and the mother of his only child Jesaka Michelle Small. Hector was a young waiter and small time drug dealer then and the group's rap dream was new and worth the strain. The decision is best for all persons and interests involved said Hector “this is not a setback” he says “but a reality check, some people over value themselves in this business of music, and in life in general, this is dangerous, and downright foolish.” Hector said he believes the whole beef started with a graphics project he was working on for Kore Houze at the request of the Kore Houze CEO with the promise that he would not interfere, and their inability to see eye to eye on the project; this apparently spilled over into the unrelated matter that was discussed between the two heads over the phone October 14, 2009. “Kak has a temper said Hector “he’s too fuckin emotional for me, I can’t talk to nobody like that nor will I work with them I just won’t , I don’t have to I’m LORD HECTOR DIONO, shit I got a temper too, tell me what the fuck happens if we both go off the deep end? Ain’t no coming back from that shit, so yeah when the nigga said we don’t need to associate from this day forward it hurt, but it’s true because one of us gone do something stupid if we continue to associate it’s quite apparent you know?” Lord Hector Diono ran the music company Mob Hit Records, ATL in 1997 through 2000 and is solely responsible for the release of their very first Vinyl single as the group Kore Houze Tribe entitled “One Way Out” only to follow up with another release of the group’s first album entitled L.I.F.E . Appropriately titled “Living in a Fatal Environment” to where Hector’s first home purchase was foreclosed on because of nonpayment of his mortgage while trying to fund the group’s dream of becoming successful rappers. Hector signed a distribution deal with Black Record Retail Organization CEO Bruce Murray whom at the time was also distributing Decatur Georgia rap group Ghetto Mafia, Bruce breeched the agreement by not refunding Hector the printing and legal costs as agreed, and left the country for a while when the album was released. The dream was short lived; the group broke up in 1999. Hector and his then 6 year old daughter became homeless, taken refuge on his little sister’s spare bedroom floor for seven months at her apartment in Marietta Georgia. Lord Hector has since became well known in the online community and the hoods of Atlanta Georgia and is currently registering 2.8 million hits on Google results His independent film project ”The Diaries” has been voluntarily suspended while additional reediting issues are resolved.

ATLANTA -Kandi Burruss, the newest cast member of the hit reality show, “The Real Housewives of Atlanta,” is coping with the tragic death of her fiancé, Ashley “A.J.” Jewell, who appeared regularly on the show.
Burruss' publicist, Lisa Nelson, confirmed with Atlanta News reporter Brian Johnson that the incident has left the Atlanta "housewife" stunned and speechless.
Nelson, who represented Burruss during the taping of the show, said the family is asking for privacy during this very difficult time.
Burruss, an award-winning singer-songwriter and former member of the ’90s R&B group Xscape, has had numerous disagreements with her mother on the show regarding her relationship with Jewell.
Atlanta police stated that Jewell received a severe head injury during a fight at The Body Tap Club in the 1200 block of Marietta Boulevard in Atlanta.
"It appears he was involved in an altercation in the parking lot and he received a severe blow to the head," said Atlanta Police Lt. Keith Meadows.
Meadows said Jewell was taken to Piedmont Hospital where he later died.
Police said they have not determined a motive for the brawl, but the investigation is still under way,

A 24-foot horse. It’s on the piazza, so you can see it for free any time, but even if you could miss it, you wouldn’t want to. Leonardo never had a chance to see it this way, but that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy it.
Small, detailed sketches, notes and studies. These are Leonardo’s, and they reveal his skill and process. They’re small, which can make the exhibit space appear sparse, but they’re so detailed, there’s no …

She was three-tenths of a mile from home. The mother of two young children never made it.
Floodwaters from a swollen creek swept her Nissan Quest from Desiree Drive around 5 a.m. Monday. On a normal day, the creek is only a few feet wide.
But days of nonstop rain turned the seemingly harmless waterway into a raging river. It sits at the bottom of a steep hill on a street with no lights. It would've been nearly impossible to see the swift-moving water or how deep it was in the pre-dawn darkness.She was three-tenths of a mile from home.
