Secondly, I cannot say enough about the men and women of Crisp County Sheriff's Office and our state and local partners. From the time Crisp County E-911 received calls related to this incident, agency members self-deployed and did not rest until we had the subject in custody. I would like to personally thank Sumter County Sheriff Eric Bryant and Worth County Sheriff Don Whitaker, as both of these men not only took my call but also geared up and went out to gather any information that could assist us. Each agency and partner played a vital role in gathering intelligence that ultimately led us to Worth County. Thank you,
Sheriff Whitaker, for working in unison with our agency and state partners in Worth County and helping us apprehend these two individuals," stated Sheriff Billy Hancock.
