Police: Man Targeted Kids in 'Lewd' Acts at Walmart – Cartersville Patch
A Walmart security worker captured video authorities say shows a man masturbating in the presence of children and their mother at the Cartersville store.
Employees told Bartow County Sheriff's Office deputies the man, kneeling by a shelf and behind a sign, began masturbating in the Electronics department while "constantly looking at the two juvenile girls and looking over his left shoulder as to check if anyone was walking up behind him," according to the incident report.
The man, later identified as David Scott Kramer, 44, of Ball Ground, was detained by Walmart security and arrested on charges of child molestation and public indecency.

Man Steals $57,000 Watch from Lenox Jeweler – Buckhead Patch
Atlanta Police are looking for a suspect that stole a watch valued at $57,000 from a Lenox Square jewelry store.
Officers were dispatched on July 3 to Mayors Jewelers inside Lenox Square, where they learned that a male suspect initially entered the store and asked to view a Rolex watch. He then viewed the watch and left the store, the report states.
The suspect came back a short time later, however, and asked to see the watch again. He was then taken into a back room to try the watch on. At that point, the suspect put the watch on and ran out of the store.
