Here are the top three stories in Sandy Springs today:

  1. Young Thug has asked a judge for items seized from his Sandy Springs home to be returned. The items, including computers and phones, were seized after the rapper allegedly threatened a mall security guard in 2015. The seizure resulted in felony charges being brought against the rapper. Those charges were eventually dropped after a trial court ruled that the search was unconstitutional. (All HipHop)
