Corporal David Blanton is the latest to be released by the department. This time the Sheriff announced a criminal investigation by an outside agency.
In the post, “signed” by Holbrooks, he announced a criminal charges and that no new information would be released because of the investigation. At press time, Macon Sense asked the Sheriff’s office for clarification as to who exactly is investigating and for what crimes. We will update the information if we receive it.
Previously, Blanton was recognized by the office for his good work in the K-9 unit.
Earlier this week, Holbrooks announced the dismissal of another deputy, Jonathan Bean, for misusing a surveillance camera.
Whether this latest firing has anything to do with surveillance cameras is unknown. Macon Sense will update this story as we receive more information and comments from local leaders.
