Theft from armless artist spurs hundreds of donations
Torrington Register Citizen Torrington - ATHENS, Ga. (AP) - Hundreds of people have shown their support for an armless street artist whose artwork, supplies and donation box were stolen near the University of Georgia. Nearly $34,000 had been raised online as of Friday morning for Michael Davenport, who is known in Athens for sketching the university's bulldog mascot. He holds a pen in his mouth to create the artworks because he lost his arms as a child. Davenport, 53, said his belongings were stolen on Jan. 15, when he took a break to use the restroom at a nearby business. Athens-Clarke police said detectives were looking to identify the suspect, seen on surveillance video in what appears to be a gold-colored minivan. Stephen Frazier, the general manager at Budget Host Inn in Athens, said he set up the online fundraising account in Davenport's name. Davenport told WAGA-TV he plans to use the money for a truck to carry his supplies, and for medical treatment for his leg that was injured in an attack last year. "I
