MONTICELLO, Ga. – A Florida man has been arrested for his part in an email scam that stole $46,000 from a Georgia town. Edward Porter Allen III is charged with computer theft for money taken from Monticello, about 60 miles southeast of Atlanta. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation announced the arrest Thursday, saying Allen had been extradited from Florida and was jailed in Jasper County, awaiting a judge to decide on bail. GBI Agent Steve Foster said Porter was a middleman in the email scam, with the money first being transferred from the city to his bank account in Sarasota, Florida, with most of the money then sent on to Turkey. The Jasper County sheriff asked the Georgia Cyber Crime Center to help investigate the theft in May 2019.

CNNSAN FRANCISCO (CNN) - A police officer detained and cited a man eating a sandwich on a San Francisco train platform, a confrontation captured on a viral video. The November 4 incident escalated and Foster was handcuffed when a second officer arrived at the train platform. "I'm definitely upset, mad, a little frustrated, angry about it," Foster told CNN affiliate KGO. Several BART riders upset with the incident held an "eat-in" on the platform in protest. "I hope they start focusing on stuff that actually matters like people shooting up dope, hopping the BART, people getting stabbed," Foster told KGO.

BART officials said the officer was passing by on another call when he asked Foster not to eat. When the officer walked by again and saw Foster still eating, he went to issue a citation. Foster said Monday that he knew eating was not allowed on trains but did not realize it was banned on platforms. The transit system carries about 400,000 people daily, linking San Francisco to the East Bay. Another protest is planned for the weekend, called "Eat a McMuffin on BART: They Can't Stop Us All."
