Letters to the Editor: A high school student walking his dog is hardly ‘the worst of the worst'
To the editor: Shame upon shame. An 18-year-old high school student walking his dog is arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement ('An L.A. high school senior was walking his dog. Then immigration agents grabbed him,' Aug. 14). I thought President Trump was after arresting 'the worst of the worst.' The 18-year-old arrested is Benjamin Guerrero-Cruz, who had overstayed his visa — hardly fitting Trump's arrest profile. Overstaying a visa is not a criminal offense; it is a civil violation. Second shame: The dog the student was walking was tied to a tree by ICE agents and then his collar was unclipped, allowing the, I imagine, scared animal to run loose on Sepulveda Boulevard, according to a GoFundMe page. Really, Trump? What are you doing? I wonder what happened to both the student and the dog. Hugo Pastore, Harbor City

Family of man killed in I-75 hit-and-run call for accountability
The family of a semi-truck driver killed in a hit and run crash on Interstate 75 is calling for accountability. Terrell Lowdermilk's family learned Monday that the man investigators accuse of being responsible, Christopher Bradshaw, was a Milton Police Department Lieutenant. The City of Milton fired Bradshaw Monday. 'Our family is deeply saddened and grieving the loss of Terrell, whose life was stolen in such a senseless act—one committed by the very institution meant to protect him,' said Cindy Hayes. Hayes is Lowdermilk's mother. The crash that killed him happened Wednesday around 2:30 am. Channel 2 Action News This Morning reported on the crash cleanup as it shut down I-75 for hours. According to Marietta Police Department, Lowdermilk and another semi driver stopped on the side of I-75 Northbound to exchange information after a fender bender. That's when police said a pickup truck hit Lowdermilk. The driver never stopped. [DOWNLOAD: Free WSB-TV News app for alerts as news breaks] Two days later, Marietta Police Department tracked down the pickup. That's when the officer reached out to detectives through his attorney and agreed to turn himself into the jail. 'That's very disturbing, you know? They take an oath to protect and serve,' said Lowdermilk's father, Terence Lowdermilk. 'He violated his oath.' Channel 2 obtained Bradshaw's police training records. He started his law enforcement career as a Cherokee County Sheriff's Office deputy in 2008. He took a job as a Milton Police officer in 2011. By 2022, he'd climbed the ranks to lieutenant. 'What kind of example does that make to the public?' said Terence Lowdermilk. 'When you become a police officer, you take an oath to protect and serve your community. Officers are held to a higher standard, whether on or off duty, and the public entrusts them with their lives,' said Hayes. The Milton Police Department sent Channel 2 a statement in response to the arrest. It said Bradshaw was off duty when the crash happened and when leadership learned of his arrest, he was immediately put on administrative leave. Then, the City of Milton terminated him. 'Our deepest condolences go out to the family and loved ones of the victim during this difficult time. While we cannot provide further comment due to the ongoing investigation being led by the Marietta Police Department, we remain committed to transparency, accountability, and maintaining the trust of our community,' Milton Police Lt. Andrew Noblett wrote. Lowdermilk's family created a GoFundMe page to help with funeral expenses. They are calling for more from the investigation. 'We are calling for accountability, transparency, and answers from law enforcement,' said Hayes. 'Justice for Terrell is not only about our family's pain, but also about restoring the trust and integrity that every community deserves.'
