Thread: Police Arrest Woman Wanted For Murder

This doesn't say she is an illegal, but this goes to show the 287(g) program type actions do work. Perfect article for my meeting with the Chief of Police.

COBB COUNTY - Cobb Sheriff Neil Warren said a woman arrested by Cobb Police for driving without a license is wanted for murder in Kentucky.

Juana Courtney, 37, was stopped for a traffic violation about 11:30 p.m. Tuesday near State Route 280 and Pat Mell Road. She gave Cobb Police Officer J.R. Best an identification card indicating her name was Cristal Gonzales Rivera, and was arrested for not having a license, said Cobb Officer Cassie Reece.

At Cobb County Jail, deputies ran her fingerprints though the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's identification system and discovered the women's real name was Juana Courtney, who is suspected of killing her estranged husband in November in Fulton, Ky.

The federal checks are standard procedure at the Cobb County Jail.

"It is my duty to know who is in my custody and who I am releasing into the community," Warren said. In this case, "our staff was able to identify and prevent the release of an individual wanted for murder in another state."

Courtney is scheduled for a hearing in Cobb Magistrate Court this morning, said Sheriff's Deputy Nancy Bodiford. District Attorney Pat Head said the hearing will be held to begin the extradition process.

An identification card? An identification card issued by whom? What good would an identification card (other than a valid US license) do if you get pulled over?

I'm glad this murderess was caught! Good job officer Best!

Good point miguelina

Seriously....I look at how our country has grown and changed......No woman who isn't an illegal immigrant would have a card and nothing else at that age..

Maybe the name and address off the cards of long dead movie stars that are stuck in our wallets for the stupid to figure out how to insert one.
