Two Glynn County commissioners say District Attorney Jackie Johnson’s office refused to allow the Glynn County Police Department to make arrests immediately after the Feb. 23 shooting death of Ahmaud Arbery.

The GBI announced the arrests of Travis McMichael, 34, and his father Greg McMichael, 64, on Thursday - more than two months after the fatal shooting. They were denied bond Friday afternoon.
“The police at the scene went to her, saying they were ready to arrest both of them. These were the police at the scene who had done the investigation,” Commissioner Allen Booker, who has spoken with Glynn County police, told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “She shut them down to protect her friend McMichael.”

The McMichaels told police they were trying to make a citizen’s arrest because they suspected Arbery of committing burglaries in the neighborhood. Friends and family have said Arbery, who was unarmed, was only on his daily jog.
The two-month delay fueled tensions in the community that culminated Friday with a large demonstration at the Glynn County Courthouse in Brunswick.
Durden said it was unfortunate that the investigation was stalled so long. “We take what we are given and go back and look at what has been done and move forward,” he said.


I hope all involved in the damn ccoverup get what they deserve!

1. She has a pattern of doing this.

She blocked the arrest of 2 police officers that killed a woman 10 yrs ago. I hope the Biden Justice Dept will be able to do something about this. This DA's office and police precinct are corrupt to the core. I won't hold my breath that the Barr Justice Dept will do anything.

2. The citizens need to bring charges against her for endangering the citizens of the county.

That just totally sucks. She needs to be recalled.
