WOODSTOCK, Ga. -- Police say the crash on Highway 92 Monday morning that killed a passenger and injured a driver was part of an attempted getaway.

At 4:43 a.m., police were called to the True Religion Brand Jeans store at the Outlet Shoppes at Atlanta for a burglary in progress. Mall security approached the store and a group of individuals ran. The security guards were able get descriptions of the vehicles and passed those along to police dispatch.

Woodstock police say the vehicles were spotted driving erratically on I-575. Two other cars were almost hit before the suspect vehicles exited I-575 onto Highway 92. Officers were trying to catch up with them when one of the cars crashed.

CHEROKEE COUNTY, Ga. – Police say Facebook tips led them to a man accused of throwing a soda bottle out of his vehicle and onto a man's head.

Witnesses said they saw a man toss a plastic bottle from his Jeep window at the entrance of the Arbors subdivision on Towne Lake Parkway. Some who saw the actions were so appalled that they took pictures of the man and posted them on Facebook. Some even called the sheriff's office.

Those pictures, which included the suspect's tag number, led authorities to 22-year-old Michael Dotson.

Dotson told authorities that the man he struck with the bottle is a co-worker and that it was all a joke. The victim said otherwise.

"The suspect may have thought it was horse play, but the person who got hit in the head with the bottle certainly didn't think it was," Cherokee County Sheriff's Office Lt. Jay Baker said.
