BRUNSWICK, GA. (THECOUNT) — Glynn County, GA., police have confirmed three people are dead following a standoff with former Glynn County Police Department lieutenant Robert Corey Sasser.
Officials say the deadly incident involved the former officer at his home off U.S. 341 in Hunter’s Point in Brunswick Thursday night.
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
Sasser eventually turned himself in and was placed on administrative leave without pay pending the outcome of an internal investigation into his arrest.
