The manager of Magnolia Estates of Winder Assisted Living Center, who was recently elected to the Georgia House of Representatives, is accused of burglarizing a residence at the assisted living home and stealing medications.
The Barrow County Sheriff’s Office said Statham resident Danny Rampey, 67, was arrested on Thursday on unauthorized distribution or possession of a controlled substance, burglary and exploitation and intimidation of disabled adults, elderly persons and residents charges.
Deputies arrested Rampey as he was leaving the residence at the assisting living home, according to a Sheriff’s Office spokesman.
“The Barrow County Sheriff’s Office became aware of suspicious activity involving missing medications within the last two weeks and initiated an investigation into the allegations,” Maj. Todd Druse said. “Surveillance operations were used to assist in the collection of evidence of stolen medications.
“The residence was not occupied by the resident at the time of Rampey’s arrest and no one was injured during the burglary.”
Rampey ran unopposed for the District 119 seat — which represents parts of Braselton, Winder and Bethlehem — in last month’s general election after winning the Republican primary in May. He is set to take office when the 2023 legislative session begins in January.
Rampey could end up in more trouble as the Sheriff’s Office continues to investigate the crime. Druse said the office is not ruling out the possibility that more charges could be filed against Rampey as the investigation continues.
