If you drive on Spring Street in Macon, you may have noticed a billboard with two political figures and a religious image.

On one side, it shows state Sen. Robert Brown and President Barack Obama, on the other, the Good Friday image of the cross draped with a red robe and thorns.

The billboard says: "Rise Up, Wise Up! Build a New Macon."

"Art is open to interpretation," Sen. Brown says of the billboard.

Brown says he's been incorporating themes in his billboards since January; this month's is an Easter theme.

When asked about the message, Brown told 13WMAZ that it shows his support for President Obama and it shows the two are Christians.

He says the billboards have gotten a lot of attention -- mostly positive.

Brown wouldn't comment on whether he'll run for mayor this year, or whether the billboards are connected to his potential campaign.

Police say a Macon man broke into a former neighbor's apartment and tried to rape her.

A news release said 37-year-old Darrell Lowe forced his way into the woman's apartment Thursday afternoon and tried to assault her.

The release says it happened around 3:30 p.m at the Autumn Trace Apartments at 1745 Rocky Creek Road.

Two Macon police officers later arrested Lowe behind the apartments.

Lowe is now in the Bibb County jail, charged with criminal attempt to commit rape and burglary.

Junior Brandon Love threw seven quality innings and had plenty of early run support to guide the Mercer baseball team to a 10-2 Atlantic Sun win over Lipscomb on Thursday evening at Claude Smith Field.

The Bears hit three home runs in the contest, the seventh time they have hit three or more long balls in a game this season, and scored in each of the first four innings to put the game out of reach.

Love was the story, however, as the Augusta, Ga. native allowed just one run on five hits to pick up his fifth win of the season and lower his team-best ERA to 2.42.

The Orange and Black got rolling early and often against Lipscomb starter Blake Fonfara, scoring a run in both the first and second innings. Senior John Moreland made the score 2-0 in favor of the home team when he connected for a monster solo home run to right field in the bottom of the second.
