VIDEO: A man was booked into the Cobb County jail after police say he got inside the Marietta Fire Museum and went on a rampage, causing significant damage. The free museum is filled with equipment and tools used by the Marietta Fire Department dating back to 1854. Capt. Steven Dau oversees the Marietta Fire Museum. He and others spent the day assessing the damage after police say a man identified as 39-year-old Mjiti Whitlow got into the museum early Thursday morning and wreaked havoc on some of the displays. An image taken from video of Whitlow inside the museum shows him with an ax in his hands. Another image shows him dropping a fire extinguisher from the second floor onto an antique coin-operated ride-on fire truck on the first floor. A third image shows him using a fire extinguisher, creating a huge mess.
