Savannah DA is preparing to DROP charges on the 3 men who beat a guy senseless

CHATHAM COUNTY, Ga. - Three men arrested in connection with a beating outside a Pooler gas station may have their charges dismissed after Chatham County District Attorney Shalena Jones privately warned Sheriff Richard Coleman that his investigators are making high-profile arrests without sufficient evidence to support prosecution.
The arrests of Motreon Williams, Ronnie Scott, and Jimmie Alexander came in February, after a viral video showing the alleged beating caught Coleman’s attention. Coleman documented much of the investigation on social media.
The Sheriff’s Office arrested both Williams and Alexander, charging them with party to a crime. Scott was charged with aggravated assault.
Once arrests were made, investigators handed the case to the District Attorney’s Office. Internal emails obtained by WTOC Investigates show prosecutors were alarmed by what was missing from the case file.
Assistant District Attorney Sara Moorhead contacted lead investigator Trey Conners and outlined ten pieces of missing evidence, including warrants with the actual date of the incident, hospital records, witness identification of the defendants, and — most critically — an interview with the victim.
“These should have been done before arrests were made,” Moorhead wrote to Conners.
Conners replied that he was “also frustrated with the difficulty in getting lack of cooperation [sic]” and that he was scheduled to meet with the victim, who was in prison, the following week. He said that depending on the outcome of that meeting, dismissal of charges could be an option.
Moorhead forwarded the email to District Attorney Jones. Jones then contacted Coleman directly, saying raising dismissal of charges “after defendants have been arrested and the courts are involved is just not good.”
Jones said the situation placed her in a difficult position.
“If there’s not a good reason to hold somebody in jail, then I need to know that because that is a deprivation of liberty, one that I don’t want to be responsible for, and one that I cannot tolerate,” Jones said.
