The suspect lowered himself on a rope that was tied to a rafter and seemed to fall part of the way down.

He says the burglar ripped back the lower window pane at Kay Jewelers. The suspect made it inside the store, but apparently got scared off when an alarm sounded, leaving empty-handed.

Milledgeville and Baldwin County are one step closer to becoming a unified government.

A consolidation bill yesterday passed through the Georgia Senate after passing the House earlier this month.

Under House Bill 67, the two would become one.

Even though the legislation had a lot of opposition from city officials, the bill made it through the General Assembly.

Now, Governor Nathan Deal can sign off on it or veto it.

Under the new government, people would elect their commissioners, mayor, and vice mayor.

An ethics professor's report says Milledgeville's city manager should be reprimanded, censured or asked to resign.

The report says manager Barry Jarrett acted against the public's best interest, when he urged city council members to punish a bank president who wrote a critical letter to the editor.

On a tape of their conversation, Jarrett says, "What's wrong with retaliation? That's the way you do business."

The council later voted to pull $5 million out of the Century Bank & Trust.

A new partnership between Georgia Military College and Middle Georgia State means some students are eligible for automatic college acceptance.

The president of Georgia Military College, Lieutenant General William Caldwell, and president of Middle Georgia State College, Dr. Christopher Blake, signed an agreement Tuesday afternoon.

The agreement between the two schools allows students from GMC to apply associate degree credits from their classes to have more advanced standing or transfer into Middle Georgia State.

Students can be automatically accepted to Middle Georgia as long as they maintain a 2.0 grade point average.

The school presidents hope this partnership will put more students on track to getting a four-year degree.
