COBB COUNTY, GA -- The past week has seen a flurry of activity on the crime front in Cobb County. From a suspect being arrested in the death of his 66-year-old wife to a woman accused of killing her brother-in-law, here are a number of stories you may have missed on Patch last week.

A former Marietta wrestling coach accused of sexually abusing young boys is scheduled to go to trial in Pennsylvania in June, officials said.

Ron Gorman, 51, has had an increasing number of charges levied against him since his early March arrest at his East Cobb home. In September, Pennsylvania authorities began investigating allegations that Gorman, who lived there in the earlier part of the decade, had allegedly inappropriate relationships with boys from his time as a youth coach there.
He is now facing 513 charges related to sexual abuse with minors, according to new documents obtained by Patch from Pennsylvania authorities.

MARIETTA, GA -- A man is behind bars Thursday after an alleged attempted carjacking at a Marietta gas station this week, Patch has learned.
The incident happened late Tuesday in the 600 S. Marietta Parkway at a Quiktrip when Lan Weddington approached a vehicle and told the occupant, “I will blow your brains out,” according to news reports.
While Weddington never produced a firearm, he was acting as if he had one in his waist and demanded the keys to the victim’s car, which he received. Weddington then drove off.

Police fanned out in search of the vehicle, finding the 2002 Corvette on Merritt Street — and Weddington walking away.

An Atlanta-area woman's new relationship, just days old and already filled with jealousy and angry fits, turned out to be a deadly one, DeKalb County prosecutors said recently. In the sentencing of Dominique Richardson, convicted of fatally shooting 22-year-old Taylor Holcombe, prosecutors said rage not romance caused him to open fire on his girlfriend and leave her dying in the street.
Richardson, 27, was sentenced to life without parole plus five years in the brazen October 2015 shooting, which stunned DeKalb residents.

The shooting occurred at the corner of Glenwood Road and Meadow Lane after a dispute between the couple.
Prosecutors said Holcombe was behind the wheel when Richardson flew into a rage and abruptly pulled out a handgun. Terrified for her life, Holcombe jumped out of the moving car and into a traffic. The vehicle hit a pole and came to a stop, allowing Richardson to exit the car, run up to his fleeing girlfriend and shoot her in the back of the head.
