Grady

Michael Couch Sr. of Tyrone faces two counts of

child molestation in Fayette Superior Court next

week.

In

both cases the alleged victim is a 13-year-old

girl. The incidents are alleged to have taken

place between Sept. 7 and Dec. 25, 1998, when

Couch was 42 years old.

The

trial will be part of a week of criminal jury

trials set to begin Monday afternoon.

Everett

Jerome Tripodis, also known as Laderrick Glen,

faces a trial next week for theft by taking. The

22-year-old College Park resident allegedly stole

a 1978 Chevrolet Caprice from a Fairburn woman in

August of 1996 and was apprehended while in

possession of the car, police said.

Derrick

Brown, already serving a life sentence for other

crimes, is charged with aggravated assault and

obstruction of an officer in connection with two

separate incidents last year in the Fayette

County Jail.

Brown

allegedly tried to elbow a detention officer

while being transported May 17, then severely

beat another inmate over the head with a

telephone three days later.

He

was convicted last year of kidnapping with bodily

injury, aggravated assault of a person over 65,

robbery by force and burglary, and was sentenced

to life plus 60 years in prison.

Charles

Eugene Evans is to be tried next week on a charge

of criminal possession of an explosive device,

for his alleged possession of a Molotov cocktail

at a Fayetteville residence in January last year.
