Sasser was suspended in May after Glynn County officials were shown bodycam video of a domestic dispute he was involved in.
After reviewing the video, officials agreed the incident should be referred to judicial review.
A judge then issued two warrants for Sasser’s arrest, including simple battery and criminal trespass.
According to First Coast News in Florida, this deadly incident involves multiple scenes, including one in Glynn County and another in McIntosh County. The Glynn County Police Department, Glynn County Sheriff’s Office, McIntosh County Sheriff’s Office, and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation will hold a joint news conference at 9 a.m. Friday morning to provide more information about the series of events that happened overnight involving Sasser. source
