The Loganville Police Department is asking for the public’s assistance in identifying a person connected to a reported theft at the Publix in Loganville.

According to police, the incident occurred on July 15, 2026. Surveillance footage reportedly shows the individual pictured above removing a wallet from a woman’s purse while she was distracted as she shopped inside the store.

Police have released several images of the individual, who was wearing a dark baseball cap, a gray hooded sweatshirt, dark pants and red-and-black shoes at the time of the incident.

Walton County residents are being warned about unofficial voter registration notices that may contain outdated information or attempt to collect personal details.

The Walton County Board of Elections says third-party companies are contacting voters through mail, email and text messages. Some of these communications may appear to be official election notices, even though they were not sent by the county or another government election office.

The notices may falsely claim that a resident is not registered to vote, provide inaccurate registration information or ask the recipient to submit personal information.

Monroe, Ga. (July 20, 2026) - Piedmont Walton Hospital is partnering with the Red Cross to host a blood drive on Tuesday, July 28, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the hospital's Medical Office Building, 2151B W. Spring St., Suite 100.

On July 13, the American Red Cross declared an emergency blood shortage after the national blood supply fell nearly 25% in June. The organization also reported that there has been an increased need for blood products, and blood distributions to hospitals are nearly 3,500 units higher per week than expected, creating an urgent need for donors to schedule appointments now.

"Giving blood is one of the easiest ways to help others," said Cari Bailey, director of community relations at Piedmont Walton Hospital. " With the Red Cross reporting an emergency blood shortage, now is a critical time. We really appreciate everyone who donated at our last blood drive. You're truly helping save lives."
