Security at Hamilton Place Mall alerted officers to three people throwing pop caps (a very small form of fireworks) throughout the mall. CPD officers working the mall located the three exiting JC Penny as they entered a red SUV (GA tag). Upon contact, the driver said the incident involving the tiny fireworks was not him. The other two claimed to have been tossing the caps. One of the others removed the items from his pockets and pulled out a small bag of the pop caps. Officers explained to the three the potential of violence associated with such pranks. Hamilton Place Mall Security issued two-year bans on two of them for disorderly conduct (throwing of fireworks) in an area frequented by the public and causing a disturbance to the public. The driver was not issued a ban. All three were fairly cooperative. There is no further action taken by Hamilton Place Mall at this time.
