Cobb Bus Rider Gets the Boot

A disorderly rider removed last week from a Cobb County Transit bus allegedly kicked the window out of a door.

By the time the Cobb County Sheriff's Office arrived on the scene about 1:45 p.m. May 28, Carl Steven Clark was standing in the middle of South Marietta Parkway and Aviation Drive.

He was allegedly "impeding the flow of traffic, screaming and cursing at passing vehicles and flicking them off with his middle finger," according to a Cobb County criminal warrant. "Accused had a strong odor of alcohol coming from his person. Accused admitted to having a "few" alcoholic beverages prior to this incident."

Clark, a transient who listed The Elizabeth Inn Emergency Night Shelter as his address, was not done.

After he was arrested, he allegedly threatened to "blow ... off" the heads of the officers in the intake area of the Cobb County Adult Detention Center.

Clark remains there in lieu of $15,000 bond on charges of public intoxication, criminal interference with government property and terroristic threats.
