Here are the top three stories in Johns Creek today:

1. The Georgia Appeals Court has reinstated the 2020 election case which was dismissed by a county superior court on Jan. 11. Cited as a "lack of standing" from the Henry County Superior Court, the case alleges counterfeit ballots were included in the 2020 absentee votes in Fulton County. Garland Favorito said, "All citizens of Georgia have a right to know whether or not counterfeit ballots were injected into the Fulton Co. election results, how many were injected, where they came from and how we can prevent it from happening again in future elections.”(The Paradise)
2. A postal worker in Johns Creek was seen taking a package from a resident's mailbox on Dec. 28, 2022. A man who lived on Mount Oglethorpe Trail reportedly received a notification that a FedEx package arrived, but after the mailman arrived, the package was gone. Surveillance footage at the home shows the mailman taking the package out of the mailbox and putting it on the dashboard of his vehicle. The package contained an $80 sweater. (Appen Media)
3. Police are investigating the death of a Fulton County man who was shot dead on Dec. 3, 2022, in South Fulton. David Gadson, 41, was found with multiple gunshot wounds in a field on Rock Hill Road. The investigation is ongoing and officials ask anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers Atlanta at (404) 577-8477. (WSB-TV)
