COP SHOP: Teen gang suspect goes nuts over haircut

A 17-year-old at Macon’s Regional Youth Detention Center pitched a fit because he apparently did not want a haircut.

The teen allegedly kicked and shoved an officer there and tried to incite a riot.

“He was enraged by his hair being cut off,” a Bibb County sheriff’s report of the Feb. 26 episode noted, adding that the teen, a supposed street gang leader, threatened other staffers, saying, “I’m going to get y’all.”

He was taken to the county jail.
