State officers have arrested a south Georgia police chief who’s accused of burglarizing a home.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation arrested Willacoochee Police Chief Anthony Williams and charged him with burglary, an agency news release says. Williams, 49, turned himself in Wednesday and was booked into the Atkinson County Jail and was released on bond, the GBI said.
A working phone number could not immediately be found for Williams, and it wasn’t clear whether he had an attorney who could comment on his arrest.
