A Chatham County Superior Court Jury found Anthony Charles Henderson of Savannah guilty in the Jan. 14 rape of a pregnant woman.

Henderson, 32, raped the 26-year-old victim at knife point in her own home. Savannah-Chatham police detective Nicole Khaalis worked the case, which included DNA evidence linking the defendant to the victim, said Kristin Fulford, Chatham County District Attorney’s Office spokeswoman.

In the first Major Crimes Division trial of 2015, Assistant District Attorney Jennifer Guyer told jurors in her closing argument that the victim was pregnant and during the attack feared for the life of her unborn child.

Judge Timothy Walmsley will hold a sentencing hearing at a later date. Henderson faces 25 years to life.

Police are asking the public to help identify and find two suspects who used credit cards belonging to a 65-year-old woman who was robbed in Savannah.

The suspects, a male and a female, were seen on a video from a department store where the credit cards stolen in the robbery were used, said Eunicia Baker, Savannah-Chatham police spokeswoman.

One suspect appears to be a black male who stands about 5 feet 10 inches tall with a medium build and has shoulder-length dreadlocks and possibly a slight mustache, Baker said. He was wearing red, black and white sneakers, black pants and a camouflage jacket.

The other is a slender black female with wavy hair extensions who was wearing a short, black jersey-style shirt-dress, tan boots with fur and white socks.

The robbery took place about 7:34 p.m. Sunday near the bus station on West Oglethorpe Avenue.

The victim said she walked down Zubley Street toward Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, where she was confronted by a black male who produced a pistol and took her purse. The bag contained her credit cards and cash, Baker said.

Anyone with information on the case is asked to call CrimeStoppers at 912-234-2020 or text CRIMES (274637) using the keyword CSTOP2020. Tipsters remain anonymous and may qualify for a cash reward.

The conversation’s been lively this week over at Savannah A to Z on Facebook.

We have terrific suggestions for Savannah’s A, B, C, and D, and the discussion has become much more than a ranking of the city’s symbols. We’ve learned about Archibald Bulloch, a diplomat and provincial Congress president who was known as a consensus maker, and we’ve considered whether the cotton gin might be the precursor to the city’s international trade status as well as the root of the area’s dark legacy of plantation slavery. And is Bonaventure the best B? Or would there be a Bonaventure if not for the Bluffs or would there be a Bird Girl if not for Bonaventure?

Come join the discussion and let us know what you’d pick.

This week: E, F, G and H.

We’re looking for the ABC’s of Savannah – the 26 things, by letter, you need to know about this wonderful place.

For example, is G for Globe? Is F for Factor’s Row? Tell us.

Bring all your suggestions to our discussion at Savannah A to Z on Facebook and we’ll take on a few letters each week. We’ve wrangled Chuck Mobley, beer blogger and former reporter, to help lead the conversation. Don’t be surprised to see a few special guests weigh in on the debate.

Next week, we’ll take on a few more letters. We’ll bring you the definitive list later this spring in a format you can keep and debate for years.

Send your nominations to us at savatoz@savannahnow.com or post them to Facebook at facebook.com/savatoz.

See you there!

Violent Crimes detectives of the Savannah-Chatham police Department are investigating the shooting of a 16-year-old teen Sunday morning but they are not getting much help from the victim.

Police found the victim with a non-life threatening wound when Downtown Precinct officers answered a call to a shooting on the 1300 block of Rogers Street at 1:37 a.m. He would not tell police where, how or why he was shot and provided various and conflicting accounts, said Julian Miller, Savannah-Chatham police spokesman.

Jacob Thomas Barcroft, 33, of Savannah, was declared dead at the scene about 11 p.m. Saturday when he lost control of his 2010 Harley Davidson motorcycle in front of K-Mart on Montgomery Cross Road.

He had been riding westbound towards Abercorn Street, driving recklessly and at an excessive speed, when the motorcycle struck the curb in the median. He and the motorcycle then struck a tree in the median after he was ejected, said Julian Miller, Savannah-Chatham police spokesman.

Samuel Coolidge, 31, of Sacramento, CA, was transported to Memorial where he was admitted in critical condition just before midnight Friday after a crash on Quacco Road.

He had been driving south on Quacco in a 1996 BMW when he lost control of the vehicle after he crossed over the Interstate 95 overpass. The BMW traveled off the west side of the roadway into the wood line, striking several trees and coming to rest on its roof. He was extracted by Southside Fire and Emergency Services.

MAIT officers continue to investigate both incidents.

Average retail gasoline prices in the Savannah metro area have fallen 6.1 cents a gallon in the past week to $2.08 a gallon on Sunday, according to GasBuddy’s daily survey of 262 gas outlets in Savannah.

The national average has fallen 5.4 cents a gallon in the last week to $2.12, according to gasoline price website GasBuddy.com.

Prices Sunday in Savannah were almost $1.22 a gallon lower than the same day one year ago and were 47.8 cents a gallon lower than a month ago. The national average has decreased 48.6 cents a gallon during the last month and stands $1.19 a gallon lower than this day one year ago.

“Since last week, some 12,000 stations dropped their price under $2 a gallon, with 45.1 percent of all gas stations (nearly 61,000) now selling under the $2 mark. The national average currently stands at its lowest since May 9, 2009, a date that saw 8.9 percent unemployment,” said Patrick DeHaan, senior petroleum analyst with GasBuddy. “This time around, the drop in gasoline is far more joyous and isn’t overshadowed by a polar plunge in the economy.”

And it doesn’t stop there, DeHaan said.

“Overnight, the average price for diesel fuel in the U.S. dropped under $3 a gallon for the first time since Oct. 2, 2010, and will shed yet another 25-50 cents per gallon before reaching a bottom,” he said. “Meanwhile, various domestic mid-continent crudes have dropped to the $30 a barrel range, or in the “danger zone” – territory where oil companies are starting to cut back on operations – a zone that could ultimately result in a slingshot back in prices down the road.”

Two art exhibits are now on display to the public featuring original artwork collected by Westley Wallace “W. W.” Law.  Through his work with the King-Tisdell Cottage Museum and the Beach Institute African American Cultural Center, Law preserved and shared Savannah’s art, culture and history.  Through exhibits and public programs at both institutions, he featured the work of emerging African American artists, as well as artwork capturing Savannah scenes and subjects.  His personal collection of original artwork and prints reflects these efforts, as well as the personal relationships that came about from them.

The first exhibit, “W. W. Law Art Collection: Paintings by Ken Herrington and Richard Low Evans,” is on display in the City Hall Rotunda through June 2015.  This exhibit features original watercolor paintings of Savannah scenes by artists Richard Low Evans (1915-1998) and Ken Herrington.  Evans was “constantly looking, sensing, tasting, sketching, and recording the ambiance of places and people” through his art.  Evans pieces in the collection include significant public structures, like the King-Tisdell Cottage and the First Bryan Baptist Church, as well as scenes of everyday life, like children boarding a school bus.  Herrington’s work is inspired by Savannah itself and scenes off the beaten path, like images of the Frogtown area.  With the help of Mr. Law, Herrington began his professional career with an exhibit at the King-Tisdell Cottage in 1981.  His work capturing Savannah’s streets and neighborhoods reflects a mutual interest shared by him and W. W. Law to capture the history of Savannah’s African American community.

The second exhibit, through a partnership with the Live Oak Public Libraries, features a selection of linocut prints by Chicago artist Margaret T. Burroughs (1915-2010) on display at the Carnegie Branch Library, Carnegie Library, one of the 19 branches of Live Oak Public Libraries, through June 2015.  Like W. W. Law, Burroughs worked to preserve and share African American art, culture and history as co-founder of the DuSable Museum of African American History in Chicago.  Burroughs was an artist, poet, educator, advocate, and activist for the art community and the African American community in Chicago.  While she worked in many mediums, she is best known as a skilled printmaker, using the medium to communicate positive images of African American history and culture. For more information on the 100-year history of the Carnegie Library, visit www.liveoakpl.org.

In March 2014, the City accepted the W. W. Law Collection as a donation from the W. W. Law Foundation in order to provide public access to this important community resource.  The total collection represents the life and work of Westley Wallace “W. W.” Law (1923-2002), prominent Savannah Civil Rights leader, local historian, preservationist and community icon.

Detectives have suspects in custody and a truckload of suspected stolen items, but they as asking the public’s help in identifying the victim after a SWAT team arrest this weekend.

The operation by the Savannah-Chatham police department’s SWAT team to serve warrants ended with two suspects in custody Saturday morning. But, West Chatham Precinct detectives ended up with a truck full of suspicious wire.

Justin Creed Van Arsdale, 24, and Michael Eugene Smart, 28, of Statesboro were taken into custody after a two-hour standoff with members of the Metro SWAT team at Van Ardsdale’s mobile home residence off Quacco Road on Red Cedar Court Saturday.

Patrol officers had gone to the residence Friday night at the request of Rincon authorities who had filed warrants against Van Ardsdale involving theft, drug and gun charges. The officers and Van Ardsdale made eye contact and the suspect barricaded himself inside the residence. Instead, Smart exited the residence and was detained.

Officers entered the residence after they had surrounded it and requested Van Ardsdale surrender. They found he had climbed through a hole in the floor and found him hiding under the trailer. When he again refused to exit, a Metro canine convinced him with a bite to his leg, said Julian Miller, police spokesman.

Van Ardsdale was treated for the bite wound and transferred to Effingham County. Smart was charged with obstruction and parole violation. He also has two warrants for contempt of court and is being held for Williamson County, Ill., authorities.

A search of the residence yielded more than a dozen wire spools and bundles of unspooled and stripped wire that the suspects refused to discuss. Detectives are hoping the public can identify the wire by calling the West Chatham precinct at 912-652-6560.

Anyone with information on the case is asked to call Crimestoppers at 912-234-2020 or text CRIMES (274637) using the keyword CSTOP2020. Tipsters remain anonymous and may qualify for a cash reward.

Two 16-year-old teens have been identified as the suspects in the Oct. 4 shooting of another 16-year-old.

Savannah-Chatham police Department detectives are charging the two boys with aggravated assault through the Chatham County Juvenile Court, said Julian Miller, Savannah-Chatham police spokesman.

Downtown Precinct Patrol officers had responded to the Fred Wessels complex that Saturday about 11:23 p.m. to find the 16-year-old victim with a non-life threatening wound to his head. He and a friend had been walking on River Street when a large group of teens threatened him. At least one member of the group fired a weapon as he ran away.

Metro detectives continue to investigate the shooting and events leading up to it.
