From Bryan County Sheriff’s Office reports:
July 15: A deputy heading east on Highway 204 around 8:56 p.m. clocked a westbound pickup going 82 mph and turned around to make a traffic stop. The driver of the pickup, meanwhile, turned on his hazard lights, then apparently turned off 204 onto a dirt road and stopped, and turned its head lights off. The deputy turned around and went back to see if it was the same pickup and about that time the driver headed back to 204 to go east and nearly hit a westbound SUV, but stopped. The deputy hit his blue lights and the pickup driver stopped. After some discussion it appeared the driver, who claimed he didn’t see the deputy, was headed home to his place in Chatham County but “recently had the muffler cut off his truck and wanted to hear it.” He was charged with speeding, fleeing and reckless driving. He called his dad to come get the pickup.

July 13: A deputy was sent to a Holly Hill Road address due to a verbal dispute among neighbors, and met a man who said he was inside when he heard a noise, went outside and found his mailbox was broken.
The man said he was told the noise came from a man who lived across the street and hit the mailbox while backing out of his driveway. That man, who the report said appeared to be intoxicated, was backing out when he lost control and hit the mailbox. He told the deputy he’d fix the mailbox.
