Newton County deputies were called to a home on Roseberry Road Oct. 10 to investigate a theft and possible narcotics activity.

The complainant said that his live-in girlfriend had recently moved out, reports said, because he had found out she was "messing around with his cousin.’’

While he was at work Oct. 9, he said, he believes the duo came to his home and stole a 12-pack of Bud Light. He also said a straw and a green zippered bag left at the scene led him to believe the pair had used an unknown narcotic in his home. There was no forced entry.
