FORSYTH COUNTY — A Georgia Sheriff, fed up with the number of wrecks on the roads, took to Facebook to put drivers on notice.

Forsyth County Sheriff Ron Freeman said the Sheriff’s Dept. was working 14 wrecks and didn’t mince words when telling drivers to stay home.

“Okay folks, we are working 14, yes 14 wrecks right now and have dozens of stranded cars all over the county. We have called in additional Deputies to help, give emergency vehicles the entire road,” Freeman posted. “Let me answer the ‘how are the conditions on (literally any road in FOCO?’ Answer, they stink, they are dangerous and unless you’re going to the hospital, it just isn’t worth it.”





Freeman went on to remind drivers, again without mincing words, that they may not be as skilled at driving in the snow as they think.

“For all the folks from wherever you were raised who know how to drive in the snow, you apparently don’t and if you might actually, really know how to, no one around you does so they will likely crash into you,” he said. “Stay home, enjoy the fluffy rain, run outside with the kids or the pups, stay in and snuggle with the one you love, just don’t go out on the roads. If you get stuck we will try to get to you, but accidents come first so you may be out there for a long time.”
