4. Police were called about a report of a sexual assault at a Johns Creek hair salon and spa. An employee at The Strand Hair Boutique at Johns Creek Commons reported that a man came in and asked for a haircut. She told him she couldn't help him that day; he then approached her and touched her hand, back and breasts. He was ordered out of the salon and left. The same man had entered the salon several times over the past two weeks and stared at customers, which made them uncomfortable. (Appen Media)
5. Roswell Police are investigating bullet holes found in an apartment door on Hemingway Lane. The resident came home in the evening, and found three holes in her front door, with casings on the floor. A neighbor's camera showed two people running down the stairwell earlier that day. A neighbor also saw teenagers running away in the parking lot. (Appen Media)

• The Milton Police Department has been collecting donated horseshoes, and will be presenting them as gifts to community members and other service members. They are using horseshoes because they represent Milton's character. One group who recently received these gifts in is the 911 dispatchers. (Milton Police Department via Facebook)
