ATLANTA, GA – CSC Atlanta team member Micah Crawford,
an employee since 2013, experienced something unexpected
while providing field security coverage September 18 at the
Georgia Dome. Atlanta Falcons receiver Devin Hester scored
a touchdown and in an attempt to slow down, he hugged
Mr. Crawford, who stated, “My initial reaction was shocked
when Devin Hester hugged me. Then it was ‘Go Falcons’
- this is AWESOME! I realized all of my friends would see
it on TV.” It might be safe to assume that this has been Mr.
Crawford’s most memorable event with CSC thus far.
