Criminal warrants have been dismissed for a Dougherty County judge charged in March 2021 with threatening a county employee.
According to Probate Judge Leisa Blount's
attorney, Maurice Luther King, Jr., Blount was facing one count of
terroristic threats and one count of violation of oath by an officer
after allegedly threatening a custodian at the courthouse.
In June 2021, the case was moved from Dougherty County to the Lowndes County Judicial Circuit.
On April 25, 2022, District Attorney Bradfield M. Shealy signed a warrant dismissal
that states, "upon investigation, the criminal warrants in the
above-styled case are hereby dismissed. As such, given the facts and
circumstances of this case, it is in the best interest of justice to
cease further prosecution in this matter."
