Dancing machine
According to a police report from Alpharetta, a man was arrested for disorderly conduct after he danced on top of his car at a gas station.
Police say the man pulled into the gas station on Haynes Bridge Road a little after midnight on Feb. 23, parked his car diagonally over two spots in front of the store, left his car running and music playing, and entered the store. The man began to look for items to buy when the clerk asked him to move his car. The man refused, police said.

Great Danes attack
A Sandy Springs man reported to police on Feb. 20 that two Great Danes attacked his poodle in the Morgan Falls dog park. The dog suffered puncture wounds on its back, but survived, police said. The man told police that the owner of the Great Danes tried to quickly leave and said “it just happens.” The owner of the poodle then tried to take a photo of the man, who got angry and pushed him, police said. The owner of the Great Danes then left the park in reverse so his car tags would not be shown, police said.

Police said the women were posing as massage therapists and were performing massages and conducting prostitution business in an apartment.

The woman was caught when she went into the J. Crew store and was trying to do the same thing, according to the police report. Clothes were found stuffed under a bench in the changing room.
