An Eastman man was injured when he was the victim of a home invasion robbery.

On Thursday, April 12 at approximately 9:45 p.m., Lewis Walter Roland (age 73), was in the living room of his home sitting in a chair at 826 Karen Drive. The door bell rang and he went to answer the door. When he opened the door, a dark skinned black male hit him in the mouth, knocking him across the room and onto the floor. The intruder then kicked Roland in the face and asked him for his wallet. Roland told the intruder where his wallet was located. The man retrieved the wallet, took Roland’s phone from a table and ran out the front door.

Roland was able to get up and make it to his car and drive to a neighbor’s house for help.

Roland was taken to Dodge County Hospital for treatment and later transferred to the Medical Center of Central Georgia in Macon.

The Eastman Police is asking that anyone that may have knowledge about the crime to please call the Eastman Police Department at 478-374-7788.

I am hoping Mr. Lewis will be ok, My dads house got broken into the other day, greatful he wasn't at home. I am hoping the law will do more in this town than be traffic cops to stop these thieves!

To the black male who scoped out this elderly man's home and took the opportunity to invade his home, shame on you. Despite your apparent mediocre upbringing and lack of discipline, America has given you the opportunities through grants and funding to do better for yourself, yet you remain determined to adhere to the thug life. I challenge you to turn yourself in, apologize to Mr. Lewis, tend to his recovery, and establish yourself as a valuable asset to our society. Otherwise, feel free to return to your pathetic life, wreak havoc within our streets, and eventually land yourself in a federal prison, in which we will continue to pay for your pathetic existence. Become a man. Pay your own bills. Leave our streets and start a home. This is my challenge to you, sir.

To the black male who scoped out this elderly man's home and took the opportunity to invade his home, shame on you. Despite your apparent underprivileged and covertly racism restricted upbringing here in Dodge County it is regrettable that you have given up hope of earning a living legally. We other people in Dodge County continually show you what you could have if you leave our streets and start a home. Yes we do things to keep you from achieving that dream but if we made it easy for your people you all would be living in the Heights instead of the Net. So let us feel good and just live off of the public assistance opportunities like food stamps and unemployment that we give you. Never mind that statistically speaking my people get larger amounts and longer duration of public assistance then your people. Never mind that my people are ten times more likely to get a loan to start a business in Dodge County even though your credit worthiness is on par with that of my people. We also understand that you have to often choose between working to provide for your family and attending school to better yourself. We tried to throw you a bone by creating the Work Ready Certification so that companies can see that you meet the minimum qualifications since your ethnic sounding name on a application or resume tends to turn employers off. We regret that local plants like Husqavarna choose to hire you in masses and months later turn around and lay off your a$$es. We also regret that you do not have the connections like we do for someone to pick up the phone and put in a word for you to get a job, even though the other people who have put in an application are more qualified and more experienced. Why don't you do like the rest of your people and try to get a fast food job when one comes available. Or go get a job down there at the boys prison. It's full of your kind so you don't have to be fearful. Oh wait yeah you have that brush with the law on your record from 12 years ago so that is out of the question.If you insist on this pathetic life of wreaking havoc within our streets at least commit your crimes like my people. Steal scrap metal, forge checks, embezzle money, sell prescription drugs, meth or cocaine instead of those cheap drugs you pander. By the way don't you know that you get more jail time for selling weed and crack then you do cocaine and the more expensive stuff. All of these crimes are more acceptable then you have-not's just giving up hope and breaking into the homes of us haves. This is my challenge to you, sir.

Why don't you be a real man or woman and put you name on here Challenge #2..... People like you and the one's your referring to in your post are the reason why Eastman will always be the way it is.

You sounds like a flip flop fool. Blacks are not the only one committing crimes. You are a racists to make such comments. People of all races are on drugs these days and doing whatever it is to get them. It makes me sick to my stomache to read your stupid comment yes I said stupid because that is what and who you need to grow up and get and education in sociology after you complete the 12th grade because you are just as ignorant as they come.
You are more ingnorant than the people that live in the net because of what is coming out of your low class mouth.
you sound like one who comes out and buy prescription drugs this is why you have a twisted mind or maybe you are an undercover crack addict with a twisted mind. Get a life because your speech proves you donot have one. LOL and Ha Ha Ha at you. A hit dog will holler.

Thank you Challenge #2 for writing your comment. Sir, I am intelligent enough to see that your comment was a sarcastic retort to Challenge #1's racist stereotypes. I got a good ole belly laugh from how you fooled some of the slower replies. It is true that the issue at hand here is bigger than color and socioeconomic status.

To challenge#3 Please refrain from referring to all people who work at Husqavana in this matter; I'm a Honor Roll; (Valedictorian) of my High School Class) with a disability with college under my belt trying to support myself) no history of anything on my record honest and dependable lived in Dodge all my life could not get a job in Dodge due to the no jobs here and/or no one wanting to hire me due to my disability. I find it deplorable what happened to this poor man and wish him the very best. My mom and dad's place in the country got robbed back in February and no word yet on whom did it or any recovery of their property thank goodness they were not home.

Im speaking in reference to the tragic mishap that happened in Dexter this weekend. I only have access to the online news I do not have access to the newspaper. The tradgedy thta I am speaking of involved a state patrols wife and two other people a Dr and his wife out by Green Acres. The couple were running alongside of the road when the state patrols wife hit the man from behind and killed him. I would liek to see the investigation in this matter. The woman lived not too far from the accident so she should have been alert when driving. Was she distracted because of kids? Possible.......but was her cell phoone checked for texting while driving? I am sure if this was the case, her husband who I am sure was right there at the scene knew what to do to prevent this possibility. Dat poor woman he left behind no longe r has family. My heart goes out for her. But I still want to know why Dodge County didnt cover this very important story. If it involved anyone else I am sure there would have been a full blown investigation.....

Ignorance is bliss.

Read the 13wmaz article. The GSP reconstruction team is doing a "Full blown investigation" as you call it.

It didn't happen in Eastman or Dodge County. Why would they report on it. Check Dublin or Laurens County.
