3M Company has joined DuPont in attempting to block the release of settlement details in a water pollution lawsuit brought by the City of Rome. The lawsuit, initiated in 2019, sought to recover costs related to the removal of PFAS and PFOAS from the city's drinking water. While Georgia law mandates that approved settlements become public record, both 3M and DuPont argue that the settlements fall under a trade secret exemption. The records are currently being withheld, pending a court hearing scheduled for October 9.

STORY 2: Calhoun man arrested after opening fire on deputy at Sheriff's Office
A Calhoun man, identified as 45-year-old Amara D. Toure, was arrested after opening fire on deputies at the Gordon County Sheriff's Office. The incident occurred when Toure entered the Sheriff's Office lobby, inquired about its opening time, and then fired shots at a deputy sitting in a parked patrol car. The deputy took cover behind other vehicles, and a second deputy emerged with a rifle, firing a shot in Toure's direction, prompting him to surrender. No one was injured in the incident. Toure faces charges of aggravated assault on a peace officer, possession of a firearm during a crime, and theft by receiving stolen property. The GBI is conducting an independent investigation into the incident.
STORY 3: Cedartown community shows support for Nick Chubb following season-ending injury
Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb, a former Cedartown High School and Georgia football standout, suffered a severe knee injury during a televised game. The injury is believed to be a torn medial collateral ligament in his left knee, requiring six to eight months of recovery, sidelining him for the season. Chubb, known for his community involvement, received an outpouring of support from his hometown of Cedartown. Cedartown Middle School held a Nick Chubb Day, and local businesses created "Chubb Strong" T-shirts to raise funds for Moms United, a nonprofit founded by Chubb's sister. Supporters wore these shirts during a high school football game in Dalton.
