EVANS COUNTY, Ga. (WTOC) - The GBI announced they have arrested and charged 51-year-old Duane Ellington Nunnally with Exploitation of an Elderly Person, Filing False Documents, and Theft by Taking.
Back in August 2025, Evans County Probate Judge Darin McCoy filed a report regarding potential elder abuse. As the investigation into the the exploitation of an elderly individual progressed, the Evans County Sheriff’s Office requested the GBI for assistance.
The investigation led to Nunnally’s arrest on Monday, January 26.
Nunnally was booked into the Tattnall County Jail.
The GBI says once the investigation is complete, the case will be given to the Atlantic Judicial Circuit District Attorney’s Office for prosecution.
Nunnally released the following statement after the arrest:
All those fake charges that are being made against me are fraudulent. Everyone knows the type of man I am— a community leader, a stand-up guy that treats every race with dignity. This is a family dispute over my father. My friends at the U.S. Marshals Services contacted me about the allegations and charges. They then took me to Tattnall County jail privately and I was released.
