Pick -off commissioned detailed pattern of criminal behavior by Long County Commissioner, Bond, which was refused to both Parker and Fowler. • The Georgia virtue

Criminal arrest warrants were submitted in the employee's office, and a judge refused the bond for two people who had been arrested by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation the day after the arrest of a long district commissioner and a district provider.

Commissioner Robert Parker and the business owner Tony “Peewee” Fowler were charged with a large number of charges. The couple remains in the prison of Tattnall County, but neither the arrest warrants nor the certificate during the first hearing provided a lot of clarity about what should come for long taxpayers in the district.

So far, however, the citizens of a suspected pattern of criminal behavior, a violent episode with a district employee, have captured possible plans for fleeing responsibility and a criminal history, which, if they had been handled differently, could not have prevented at all.

Details of arrest warrants

Arrest warrants, which was sworn in by the GBI special representative Thomas Kimelblatt and signed by the judge of the Supreme Court Robert Russell, claimed that criminal activity began in 2022 and lasted until well in January 2025 when the GBI Parker and others examined Long County. In particular, the documents claim:

  • Fowler Parker knowingly helped when using heavy machines that belonged to the Long County Road department, on his country roads on Highway 84 in Ludowici for his personal win.

All charges are crimes for crimes and alleged violations of state laws. None of the charges presented in the arrest warrants are federal offenses.

Application for bond
Parker's first appearance

In his first appearance in paperwork, Parker stated that he has or will keep legal advisors to earn $ 6,000 to $ 7,000 per month, is married, depends on and has friends and family who would help support the post bond. A lawyer of Parker Friday argued that Parker had known about the investigation since at least September 2024 and had not fled from jurisdiction or was intimidating witnesses. “He comes from this community, he loves this community.”

Michael Tabarrok from the Attorney General Georgia, who pursues the case with the local public prosecutor due to conflicts of interest, said Parker tried to flee arrest at the time of the search and arrest warrants.

“When the law enforcement agencies went down a long entrance and lived on his property for about 1.7 miles, this defendant fled from a side parking play. Apparently he received the announcement that the office of the GBI and the FBI and the Attorney General were on their way to this place. This was shown when he came out the second entrance. He stopped and looked and a state troops were down the street, he didn't wear his blue lights. He talked to him and the State Trooper at that time he switched on his blue lights and the accused was stopped. The defendant made a comment on the state troops and at this point in touch that the accused had no knowledge of the law enforcement that the GBI, the FBI and the general prosecutor's office received the main entrance. The comment he made to the state troops was: “I think I managed to avoid them, but I think it was fate that they got me.” The defendant tried to flee yesterday. “

In response to this, Parker's lawyer said that the law enforcement agencies Parker may have called Parker and asked him to give themselves.

Fowler's first appearance

When determining the indigenous for Bond, Fowler's list also lost his household income of $ 6,000 to 7,000 per month with two relatives. Fowler stated that he was planning to keep a lawyer, but was not represented on Friday.

The state argued that Fowler was also a fluid risk and explained that the search command carried out on Thursday unveiled a secret space that was hidden behind a mirror in which more than 41,000 US dollars were collected in cash and registration cubic, where a location for passports was intended. However, the law enforcement authorities were unable to locate the passports in the house. Fowler replied that his passport had expired, but the public prosecutor said that the paperwork, which was recovered in the house, stated that a passport had been issued in 2021.

According to the law enforcement authorities, the judge in Bryan County, the judge Carolynn Shervette-Montgomery, who led the hearing to avoid conflicts of interest with the judge of the Long Count Richter, refused to bond for both Parker and Fowler.

Shervette-Montgomery denied Parker's application for bonds, whereby he represents his risk of flight from jurisdiction, a significant threat or danger to the community and a significant risk of intimidating witnesses or the disability of the judicial administration.

Fowler's application for bonds was also rejected, citing his risk of fleeing or not appearing.

Both have the opportunity to apply for a hearing in front of a judge of the Supreme Court. Both cases were assigned to the judge of the Supreme Court of Jay Stewart. From March 2, it is unclear whether the judges get back or not. If the district commissioners are responsible for the registration of any number of funds for the judicial offices, the judges will withdraw the district themselves and apply for the appointment of a judge from a different circle.

prehistory By Robert Parker

Parker was previously charged with crimes who have led to a lower prosecution and administrative action by the Peace Officer Standards & Training Council of the Georgia Peace Officer Standards & Training Council (Post) since his law enforcement officer at the time.

The documents were previously available on Peachcourt, but in the middle of the scandals and the news of GBI last autumn, the Colonel Court's court clerk removed the “public” so that the public could no longer access the documents.

Thegeorgiavirtue However, Parker's post records in which the criminal proceedings were described received. Parker was arrested on June 29, 2010 due to arson (1st degree), insurance fraud and violation of the oath of office, after it was found that Parker “knowingly damaged his house with fire and without the consent of the creditor or insurer”. Parker was employed in the Long County Sheriff's office at that time and was then terminated.

The insurance commissioner's office for Georgia examined the case and found that the damage was around 25,000 US dollars. Parker faced over 60,000 US dollars and up to 35 years. But after more than four years in the suspension, in December 2014, Parker's case was reduced to offense. Judge Jay Stewart sentenced Parker to a fine of $ 1,000 and a trial period of 12 months. The case was delayed repeatedly because, according to the coastal courier, Parker arose after an indictment and indictment against a culprit or unclosed lawsuit.

Parker's law enforcement certificate from the state was administered administratively from June 30, 2010 to December 23, 2014 and was unable to work in law enforcement authorities during this time. In December 2015, after his plea for the Long County Sheriff's Office, he returned voluntarily in August 2017.

Parkers certification by the standards and the training council of Georgia Peace Officers was put on probation for 36 months from September 5, 2018. It is unclear what prompted this status of the sample, but it was hired by the Ludowici police department while his certification was to be tested, and he promoted fifteen days after his sanction.
