Divers attempted to recover Falcons star Julio Jones earring from Lake Lanier
0727DIVE
Richard Pickering was one of two men who dove into Lake Lanier seeking to recover an earring for Julio Jones.
Richard Pickering, of Suwanee, will at times do five dives in a day, mostly around 30 to 40 feet deep. But Tuesday’s dive took him 75 feet deep in Lake Lanier on a mission: to recover a $150,000 earring of Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones. Pickering said he and fellow diver Bobby Griffin were contacted by people that Jones was jet skiing with.
