CUTHBERT, Ga. (WALB) - Cuthbert’s police chief and another police officer are back on the job nearly 11 months after a deadly officer-involved shooting.
The Cuthbert City Council made the decision in January, more than a month after a civil grand jury in Randolph County considered the death of Koby Edwards, 18.
In March 2020, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) stated in a press release that Edwards died after “a foot chase.that resulted in gunfire between” Edwards and the officers, Cuthbert Police Chief Kevin Flowers and Officer David Hunnicutt.
