Lawmaker Charged with Unemployment Fraud

State Rep. Sharon Henderson of Covington was arrested Monday, accused of illegally collecting nearly $18,000 in pandemic unemployment benefits.

The Democratic lawmaker appeared before a U.S. magistrate judge on Monday and entered a not-guilty plea. Her bond was set at $10,000, and she was released.

Federal investigators said Henderson made eight weekly filings for unemployment after she began her term in 2021.

She also filed for weekly benefits before taking office, saying she was unemployed from a substitute teaching job due to COVID-19. Investigators said that records show she last worked as a substitute teacher in 2018.

More Cold Forecast

North Georgia's dreary December continues, with cloudy skies and foggy mornings set to give way to a sharp Arctic chill by the weekend.

For the Atlanta area, it's been the coldest start to a December since 2010, with an average high of 49.1 degrees. The last day with temperatures in the 60s was two weeks ago.

For the larger region, a brief midweek warm-up is expected before colder weather returns, with highs on Saturday below 50 and overnight lows dipping into the teens.

Hawks Player's Versatility on Display

Atlanta Hawks small forward Jalen Johnson notched his second triple-double in as many nights on Saturday, one game after posting the second-fastest triple-double in NBA history.

For the season, the fifth-year player out of Duke is up to four triple-doubles and averaging career highs across the board.

Atlanta coach Quin Snyder hinted at bigger plans for the versatile Johnson—there's "more there," Snyder said—as the team eyes a possible lineup shake-up.

A triple-double means making 10 or more in at least three statistical categories—usually points, rebounds, and assists—in a single game.
