2nd adult arrested in lemonade stand robbery

WARNER ROBINS, Ga. -- Two-year-old Logan Varnadoe has already had more surgeries in his young life than many of us ever will.

Born with just a third of his brain, he has cortical blindness, deafness and has had multiple surgeries for hernias and gastro-intestinal problems. Any day now, he will be airlifted from The Children's Hospital in Macon to Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center for treatment that isn't available anywhere in Georgia.

On Saturday, his 13-year cousin Chelsea Edwards and two of her friends were selling lemonade, raising money for the Logan's mound of medical bills and upcoming trip, when they were robbed by two adults.

Houston County Sheriff's Lt. John Holland said a man and woman ran up to the girls' lemonade stand on Smithville Church Road and snatched a jar containing about $130. Holland said 20-year-old Gage Turner of Warner Robins took off in a car, leaving Amber Umbarger behind. The 21-year-old Warner Robins woman was arrested on three counts of robbery by sudden snatching. .........(more)

3. Not to sidestep the issue, but

I *really* wish the media would go more into the nature of our health system and why a 13-year-old is fundraising on the street to pay for a two-year-old's care...

4. That's way too much to ask of our crackerjack media.
