MOULTRIE —
Moultrie officers made arrests on charges of public indecency and malicious mischief Saturday after police received a report of teenagers performing sexual acts in public in the downtown area.
At 9 p.m., officers investigated the report of the activity in the breezeway across the street from Colquitt County Courthouse.
There they found two teen males with no shirts on, and a witness reported seeing one girl wearing only a bra and possibly performing a sex act with one of the teens.
The four teens detained for questioning denied performing lewd acts, Moultrie Police Department reports said, but Kearra Nikkloe Johnson told police that she removed her shirt briefly to change.
Brandon Nelson Bennett told police that he tore down several pieces of metal from support beams in the breeze way, the reports said.
Johnson, 17, 488 Yogi Bear Road, Norman Park, was charged with public indecency, police said, based on the description of her bra given by the witness.

Keeping a digital journal is priceless
Gardening journals are very important in documenting items of importance in the landscape. Whether the information is about the placement of a bulb, the color of a flower, the much-wanted plant from across town, the amount of rainfall last week, and so on, it is critical to realize such information to better improve how you design and maintain your landscape sites. If not recorded, then the potential for loss of such information is greater and makes your landscaping efforts more difficult!
