Clayton County Sheriff Victor Hill arrests ex-deputy who wants to unseat him [View all]
Clayton County Sheriff Victor Hill on Monday issued arrest warrants for a potential rival for his job on charges of filing false documentation and violation of oath of office.
Robert Hawes, a former deputy in the Clayton County Sheriff’s Office under Hill who announced plans to run for the office earlier this month, was expected to turn himself into the county jail late Monday.
The warrants come a week after Hill had Hawes’ wife, Gerrian Hawes, arrested and jailed over several emails she sent him earlier this year. Hill said the emails were harassing and that Gerrian Hawes refused to discontinue the communication even after he asked her to stop.
The arrest last Wednesday of Gerrian Hawes was livestreamed by her husband on Facebook. Gerrian Hawes also livestreamed a follow up on the social network after being released Thursday.
