Here are the top three stories in Johns Creek today:

1. A man whose wife went missing in Georgia was acquitted in an unrelated stalking case. Xavier Breland, in a custody battle with his ex-wife, was accused of putting a GPS tracker inside a stuffed animal belonging to his daughter to track her location. The jury returned a "not guilty" verdict on Aug. 11. He is still considered to be a person of interest in the disappearance of his current wife, Ciera Breland, last seen in Johns Creek in February of this year. (FOX 59 Indianapolis)
2. A school club at Northview High focusing on social psychology is supporting the community with their yearly fundraiser. The "Heroes for Alzheimer's" event raised $500 in a fundraiser involving students pledging to take laps around the track. Another event, selling bubble tea, sold 500 drinks to raise more than $1,300 for Partners in Health. Read more about the club at the link. ( The Atlanta Journal Constitution)
