Well, maybe not. It appears that the Municipal Court Judge and Mayor of Hazlehurst, located in Jeff Davis County, are having a bit of a tiff in the style of the City of Lithonia. From the Jeff Davis Ledger:
The controversy erupted last Thursday when Judge Smith conducted his monthly municipal court in a courtroom virtually devoid of defendants and court personnel. Neither Hazlehurst Police Chief Steve Land, who normally serves as the municipal court prosecutor, nor court clerk Deborah Kornegay, a Police Department dispatcher, were present, apparently under orders from Mayor Stone not to attend the court session. And defendants who arrived for their scheduled appearances in court were turned away outside by Chief Land who distributed flyers announcing that the next court date would be May 29.
Interesting that the Police Chief is ALSO the City Solicitor in that fine city…
