Former Richmond County deputy files complaint against district attorney


AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – A state bar complaint was filed against Augusta’s district attorney by a former deputy who sued the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office alleging racial discrimination.

The complaint by Quincy Cannon alleges violation of a rule requiring fairness to opposing party and counsel.

The filing says District Attorney Jared Williams selectively granted access to grand jury materials during an investigation by the Georgia Peace Officer Standards and Training Council.

Cannon alleged Williams helped a third-party investigator get and use evidence from secret grand jury proceedings against Cannon, while denying comparable access to Cannon’s attorney.

Although Cannon’s case was presented to a grand jury, the panel chose not to pursue criminal charges.

Cannon’s lawsuit claims he was treated unequally to white deputies who were also investigated over use of force.

A suspect in a deputy shooting accused several other deputies, including Cannon, of assaulting him in an elevator at the sheriff’s headquarters.
