Towns County, GA – Suspended Towns County Sheriff Kenneth Henderson made an appearance in court on Monday morning as he awaits trial. The charges against Henderson stem from a physical confrontation with a local police officer, an incident that was recorded on body camera video.
Henderson’s legal proceedings have seen a procedural hurdle. His initial indictment was withdrawn. However, a new grand jury subsequently reindicted him in May. The charges in the new indictment are identical to those in the initial one.
Details surrounding the specific charges and the exact nature of the physical confrontation have not been fully detailed in public court documents available at this time. The body camera footage of the incident is a key element in the case. Further court dates and proceedings are expected as the case moves forward.
