🌱 Cobb Voter Registration Challenges + Stabbing At Storage Facility

Hello all. It's me, Danielle Fallon-O'Leary, your host of the Daily. Let's get this Friday started off right with a quick guide to the most important things going on in town these days.

But first, today's weather:

Mostly sunny. High: 83 Low: 54.

📢 I’m looking for business owners and marketers in Marietta who want to build awareness, connect with customers and increase sales.

I have a limited number of sponsorships available to introduce our Marietta Daily readers to local businesses they need to know about. If that’s you, then I invite you to learn more and secure your spot now.

Here are the top three stories in Marietta today:

1. The man accused of killing two Cobb County Sheriff's Office deputies appeared in court on Wednesday. Christopher Cook allegedly shot and killed deputies Marshall Ervin Jr. and Jonathan Koleski on Sep. 8 while they were serving an arrest warrant. Cook's attorney reserved the right to request bond. (Marietta Patch)
2. Almost 600 Cobb County voters have had their voter registrations challenged. The challenges were submitted to Cobb Elections and Registration Director Jamie Eveler last month. This is the latest large-scale voter challenge since Senate Bill 202 went into effect. The challenges were allegedly filed because the registrations did not include apartment numbers. (Axios.com)
3. The Marietta Police Department reports that officers responded to a bizarre incident at a storage facility on Cobb Parkway last week. The department found a man with several stab wounds upon arrival. The stabbed individual, Saul Jimenez, proceeded to try to disarm the responding officers while they attempted to render aid. It was eventually revealed that Jimenez had attacked a storage facility customer with a hammer prior to the stabbing. (WSBTV)

Patch deal of the day:

Wine lover alert. We found this amazing deal from Splash Wines — an 18-bottle curated selection of reds and whites for fall — for just $69.99. Shipping isn't cheap at $39.95, but that still comes out to just over $6 per bottle. Splash Wines has a money-back guarantee if you don't like the wine and 4.6 out of 5 rating on TrustPilot. So: recommended.
