Harley-Davidson scouts Shelby County for site
Thu. August 20 - 2009 

IBJ Staff

Milwaukee-based Harley-Davidson Inc. is considering Shelby County as the site for a massive new motorcycle plant.

Company management was in Shelby County yesterday to get additional information, company spokesman Bob Klein told The Business Journal of Milwaukee.

Klein said that earlier this week, management scouted sites in Murfreesboro, Tenn., and Shelbyville, Ky. He said a fourth U.S. community also is under consideration, but he declined to identify it because management hasn't made a visit.

The company is scouting sites as it considers scaling back or discontinuing production at an aging complex in York, Pa., that employs 2,500. Workers there are scattered across 42 buildings with a total of 1 million square feet.

Incentives could play a key role in attracting or retaining jobs. The state of Pennsylvania already has pledged $15 million that Harley-Davidson could apply toward upgrading the York complex.

The company expects to decide how to proceed by the end of the year.

The site they're talking about is like 10 minutes from my house.

Ironically, my grandfather's property is literally adjacent to the existing plant in York, Pa. (his backyard ends at part of their plant property).

Men charged after party interruption

BUFORD - Two Flowery Branch brothers are in jail after reportedly interrupting a threesome and beating a man in his own home.

Mark Robinson, 26, and Nicolas Robinson, 21, are each charged with false imprisonment and two counts of battery in the Aug. 1 incident. Mark Robinson also faces one count of criminal trespass.

According to Gwinnett County police, the pair showed up to a party at the victim's Duncans Shore Drive home uninvited, but were allowed to stay provided they didn't cause any trouble.

The agreement apparently didn't work out.

The 23-year-old man, a Beef O' Brady's cook, told police he knew the brothers from the restaurant and that they had been barred at one point for "causing problems and fights."

The man said he was in a downstairs bedroom with two women at about 4 a.m. when he noticed Mark Robinson standing in the doorway. He repeatedly told Robinson to leave and not to "disrespect his house," reports said, to which Robinson replied he wanted to watch.

When the man tried to close the door, officers said, Robinson became angry, busted a beer bottle against another door and attacked the man. Soon after, Nicolas Robinson came downstairs shouting, "Don't mess with my brother" and entered the fray, reports said.

The victim said he was held down and beaten, blacking out at one point.

One of the women said she tried to pull the brothers off the victim but was punched in the face and pushed to the ground before other partygoers could break up the melee.

The suspects fled before officers arrived, but were identified using a photo lineup, police said, allowing them to obtain arrest warrants. The brothers voluntarily came in for questioning on Aug. 10, according to police, and admitted their involvement.

Because of their cooperation, both men were allowed to go home and "get their affairs in order," after agreeing to turn themselves in to Gwinnett County deputies.

It is unclear whether they failed to do so or if there was a miscommunication between agencies, but a sheriff's department spokeswoman said Field Operations deputies arrested both men Monday night at their Countryside Drive home.

Both men remained jailed Wednesday.
