LATE TUESDAY , UPSON RESCUE AND OTHER VOLUNTEERS WERE SEARCHING FOR THE BODY OF A 32 YEAR OLD BLACK MALE WHO COULD HAVE DRIVEN A SMALL SUV IN LAKE THOMASTON. POLICE CHIEF DAN GREATHOUSE TOLD TGA NEWS WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED FROM THE LAKE, THERE WAS NO BODY INSIDE. THE SPALDING COUNTY DIVE TEAM AND A DOZEN OTHER AGENCIES RESPONDED AROUND 1PM AND THE CAR WAS PULLED FROM THE LAKE AROUND 6;30PM. THE MAN’S FAMILY LIVES ON AVE. D. AND THEY MISSED THEIR MURANO SUV WHEN THEY STARTED THEIR DAY.
THE DRIVER APPARENTLY APPROACHED THE LAKE FROM SECOND STREET, CRASHED THROUGH THE SECURITY FENCE, WENT DOWN AN EMBANKMENT AND INTO THE LAKE. WATER DEPARTMENT PERSONNEL NOTICED SOME ITEMS IN THE WATER NEAR THE INTAKE BRIDGE AND CALLED FOR HELP. WATER IS 35 FEET DEEP IN THAT SPOT. THERE WAS ONE REPORT THE MAN HAD RECENTLY BEEN DISCHARGED FROM A PSYCHIATRIC FACILITY. HUNDREDS LINED THE FENCE TO WITNESS THE UNDERTAKING.
