1st of all the floyd county cops did not arrest these men .the railroad did they are federal marshalls they do not need the state or local cops to do the arresting,second of all the rr has a scrape yard in cartersville off of inds blvd off of 411 where they keep their scrape in rail cars until they have enough to pull so why do they not watch it where I know ppl go get scrape all they time and sell it to regional in cartersville,I seen it and followed the guy all while talking to the marshalls on the phone,,they got they guy to find out that the guys uncle was over the ones that arrested him,,,he got turned loose

I agree RAL. For this to be theft by recieving, the railroad worker would have to be charged with theft by taking. Why did the Floyd County police arrest them. What was the complaint by the railroad? He bought metal from us and we work for the railroad? Ridiculous. I'm telling you, folks are going to have to start fighting these kinds of charges or this kind of thing is only going to get worse.

Newell Recycling is hiring illegal aliens. I suggest checking their HR files for I-9 forms with copies of the 2 forms of ID (one with a picture) they viewed to establish the their employees immigration status. It is required by Federal Law!

This story is crap! The Railroad is a private company. I am an electrician, What is the difference between that and me "setting them up" by bringing in a bunch of copper wire and then wanting to have them arrested for taking copper wire? The only charge i see here is false DOB and False SSN. You dont see Georgia Power baiting scrap yards like this. They have their own police force as well.
