Sheriff Says Jailer Let Man He Knew Avoid A Parole
Violation Charge By Being Booked Under False Name
A Ware County jailer was arrested Monday for booking his girlfriend's relative
into the local jail under a false name last month to help him avoid violation of
parole charges, said Ware County Sheriff Randy Royal.
Royal said jailer Tommy Derek Hodge, 20, of Waycross, was charged Monday with
"violation of his oath of office as a public officer,".
Hodge had been on suspension at the time of his arrest,
and that on June 19 a drug possession suspect who was wanted for parole
violation, Brandon Corley, gave a false name to arresting officers and was
booked into the jail under the false name.
An investigation revealed that Hodge knew Corley (a relative of
Hodge's girlfriend), knew he was wanted for violation of parole and allowed him
to register under the name of Samuel Franklin Corley.

Firearms Permit to go up for the citizens of ware County
The Georgia Crime Information Center
(GCIC) a Division of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) is charged with
the task of criminal background information. The fingerprint background check is required on all firearms license issued in
Georgia. The applicant must apply at the Probate Court in the County of his/her
residence. The fee for the application and fingerprinting is set by the
legislature.The application fee is $15.75 and the fee for fingerprinting is $5.00. There is
a mailing fee and other fees. The fee was set in Ware County at $41.00 and this
included a $19.25 charge from GCIC for the background check. The GCIC as of July 1, 2009 will be increasing the charge for the background
check from $19.25 to $40.00 thus increasing the cost of the license from $41.00
to $62.00. The county has NOT increased its fees for the issue of the license, but has had
to adjust for the increase cost of the background checks through GCIC.
Important Notice to Homeowners Regarding 2009
Property Taxes
Area Tax Commissioners say
homeowners should brace themselves for additional property taxes this year and
the next. The state homestead tax relief grant that funded an increased
homestead exemption for homeowners for the last several years will not be
available this year. Declining state revenues during the current recession mean
there is no money for the State to give the tax relief to homeowners said
Georgia Tax Commissioners. This means a property tax increase of $200 to $300 on
the 2009 tax bills for many Georgia Homeowners. The grant appropriated by the
General Assembly and the Governor for the last several years to counties, cities
and schools had give tax relief to homeowners in the form of a credit on their
tax bills. According to legislation passed this year (House Bill 143), the grant
will only be made available in the future if state revenues grow at least 3%
plus the rate of inflation.
