But first, today's weather:

Sunny and cooler but pleasant. High: 77 Low: 54.

Here are the top three stories today in East Cobb:

1. The Georgia Wildlife Resources Division is asking East Cobb residents to leave wild deer alone. The Division has instructed the public not to feed, interact with, or leash any deer. The warning was deemed necessary after videos and photos surfaced of locals keeping wild deer as pets. (Macon.com)
2. A family-owned and operated dental practice serving East Cobb residents has been recognized as a 2022 Top Patient Rated practice by Find Local Doctors. Dr. Azita Mansouri and Dr. Michael Mansouri's Mansouri Family Dental Care & Associates received the prestigious award for outstanding patient reviews and ratings. The award highlights the practice's "warm and friendly environment."(Benzinga)
3. A Cobb County man has been arrested for sharing disturbing sexual images of children and animals. John Fordham, 41, has been charged with bestiality, sexual exploitation of a child, and distributing child pornography.
