As is the case so often in this area, the simple matter of window tint on his car put a man in the Fayette County Jail last week.

Elsewhere in Peachtree City, an officer on general patrol Jan. 11 ran a license plate check on a vehicle in the area of Huddleston Road and found that the registration was suspended. Making a traffic stop in the parking lot of Atlanta Markets Furnishings, the officer investigated further and found the driver to be wanted by a neighboring agency.
Once the warrant was confirmed, Iyanitus Starr, 43, of Villa Rica was arrested and taken to jail while the vehicle was released to a licensed passenger.
A traffic stop was conducted in the wee hours of Jan. 7 at Peachtree Parkway and Braelinn Court on an SUV due to multiple traffic violations.
