COLUMBUS, Ga. (AP) A Georgia prosecutor says he will let a grand jury decide whether to charge two police officers after man died in a struggle with them in 2017.
District Attorney Mark Jones told the Ledger-Enquirer that he intends to present the death of Hector Arreola to grand jurors within weeks.
“I think we’ve got to,” he said. “Each side has their own version of the events of what happened, and that’s what the grand jury’s for.”
Jones told WTVM-TV the Columbus police officers could be charged with aggravated assault and murder.
