1. Cobb County Deputy Gregory Scott Smith, 58, died after being found unresponsive while jogging in Dallas, Georgia. Responders attempted to revive him with CPR but were unsuccessful, and there was no physical trauma involved. Smith had been with the sheriff's office since 2008, and the Cobb County Sheriff's Office thanked the Paulding County Sheriff’s Office and Paulding County Fire/Rescue for their efforts to save his life, asking for support for Smith's loved ones and the Cobb County Sheriff's Office.

2. A man from Dallas, identified as Joshua Eugene Morgan, was taken into custody in Rome following reports of a violent incident on Doyle Road. According to sources, Morgan allegedly assaulted a 30-year-old man, causing visible injuries, and also threatened him with violence. Additionally, he is said to have hit the victim's car. Morgan is now facing charges of battery, criminal trespass, and terroristic threats and acts. (Coosa Valley News)
3. Kitty Angel Rescue and PetSmart Charities are partnering to bring adoptable pets to PetSmart stores in Hiram and Kennesaw, in support of National Adoption Week from March 6-12. The event aims to encourage pet lovers to adopt pets in need from shelters. Many animal shelters are struggling with limited budgets and resources, resulting in pets staying longer in shelters. The event offers an opportunity for potential pet parents to meet adoptable pets, cuddle with them in spacious areas, and learn about the products and services they will need for the best start with their new family members.
