ATLANTA — Police body camera footage captured the moment UFC fighter Dustin Poirier was arrested at the airport in Atlanta. Officers responded to Delta gate D36 after receiving reports about a dispute between an intoxicated passenger, who was denied boarding Delta Flight DL1295 to Fort Lauderdale. Video shows an officer arriving at the gate, where he encounters Poirier, who is visibly agitated, yelling and cursing at Delta staff. Poirier can be seen calling the staff liars and using other expletives. When the officer asked if he was Dustin Poirier, the UFC fighter responded, "F*** you," and tried to fight him. "I'll fight you right now," Poirier told the officer, who declined the offer and began backing away from the fighter. "I don't want to fight," the officer responded. Poirier continued to taunt the officer, who is seen grabbing his taser gun. Other officers arrived on the scene, and after repeated verbal outbursts and an aggressive stance toward officers, "Poirier stated, "If you want to arrest me, then go ahead." "Arrest me. That's the best way, dog," Poirier said. He was taken into custody and transported to Clayton County Jail, where he was charged with public intoxication. ]]> Tue 23 Jun 2026 23:25:03 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1616888/dustin-poirier-got-kicked-off-his-flight-and-tried-to-fight-a-cop-before-getting-arre/ https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1616701/atlanta-pd-beating-and-arresting-a-man-for-not-walking-out-of-a-street-quick-enough/

ATLANTA - A multi-agency manhunt ended Sunday morning when authorities tracked down and arrested a suspect wanted for a shooting that occurred on a transit train at the Midtown MARTA Station on Friday night. Members of the FBI AMMO Task Force, Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, Douglasville Police Department, Haralson County Sheriff’s Office and Georgia State Patrol captured the suspect, identified as Anthony Tyrone Gresham, around 10 a.m. Sunday. The search began after a shooting occurred just after 7 p.m. Friday. MARTA officers patrolling inside the Midtown Station reported shots fired on a train that had stopped at the southbound platform. When officers arrived, they found a man who had been shot in his left arm and leg. Investigators discovered both the victim and the shooter paid their fares to enter the station before heading toward separate railcars. The two individuals made eye contact across the station, prompting the suspect to walk over to the victim's railcar and fire gunshots from the southbound platform, according to a statement released by MARTA police Saturday. A suspect wanted in connection with a Friday night shooting on a transit train at the Midtown MARTA Station has been arrested. Law enforcement officers tracked down the suspect on Lee Road before he ran into the woods, sparking a massive multi-agency search. The suspect faces several felony charges, including aggravated assault and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and is currently booked into jail. ]]> Mon 08 Jun 2026 13:44:03 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1616408/midtown-marta-station-shooter-arrested-in-douglasville/ https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1615823/a-scholar-selling-bootleg-merchandise-outside-of-a-concert-resists-arrest/

Atlanta police have released body camera footage showing the arrest of a 71-year-old babysitter accused in the death of 3-year-old Armani Lyons. Officers went to an apartment on Landrum Drive just before 8:15 p.m. Monday to find a wanted person. Video shows Barbara Edwards coming to the door before being handcuffed and led to a patrol car. Edwards is charged with felony murder, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and cruelty to children. Police say Lyons was shot in the head while in her care on April 5 at an apartment complex on Washington Street SW. Authorities are still searching for Edward's son, Jermaine Hardman, who faces the same charges. Police are also looking for a third unidentified person who was allegedly at the apartment the night of the shooting. Investigators are still working to determine the exact circumstances that led to the child's death.

ATLANTA, Ga. — A Gwinnett County man was arrested for allegedly assaulting his elderly mother, police said. Police said officers responded to a home on March 15 after receiving reports of a man who pushed his mother and pulled another person’s hair out. When the officer arrived, the man said he had just smoked marijuana. Kehma Johnson, 31, “was acting erratically, making odd statements, and then suddenly charged,” police said.

Johnson was charged with aggravated battery, false imprisonment, battery, obstructing or hindering persons making an emergency telephone call and willful obstruction of law enforcement officers by use of threats or violence. ]]> Tue 14 Apr 2026 23:09:00 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1614127/georgia-man-tased-and-arrested-for-allegedly-assaulting-elderly-mother/ https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1614121/cascade-family-skating-needs-to-beef-up-security/

They speak to the dog and there seems to be a live operator talking back The person speaking very clearly is likely in India based on the accent There are plenty of videos of these dogs calling the police on people, so that means someone sitting in India is patrolling our streets and calling the police on Americans These robotic dogs are equipped with 360° cameras, thermal imaging, headlights, sirens, speakers, and sensors Despite this they are not fully autonomous, they typically have a live human operator monitoring the feed remotely ]]> Sun 12 Apr 2026 23:03:27 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1614025/atlanta-residents-react-to-the-new-robot-dogs-patrolling-their-apartment-parking-lot/
