CHATTOOGA COUNTY, Ga. – A warrant has been issued for the commissioner of Chattooga County after a reported altercation with another man.
Commissioner Andy Allen is facing at least one count of simple battery.
What we know:
An incident report from the Chattooga County Sheriff’s Office obtained by FOX 5 showed that the incident happened on March 3.
The reports said that deputies were called to Little Sand Mountain Road after a report of a fight,
According to WZQZ Radio, a livestock hauler from Kentucky said that he was making a delivery to a farm that morning when Allen confronted him. It is not clear what incited the reported situation.
The man said that Allen started yelling and him and his wife, got out of his truck, and tried to “jerk him out of the truck while he was backing up.” The action ripped the man’s shirt, deputies say.

A Whitfield County judge deemed that there was probable cause to charge Allen with one count of simple battery, a misdemeanor.

Dell McGee’s defensive staff overhaul as he enters Year 3 atop the Georgia State program is getting its most significant piece of the puzzle, FootballScoop has learned.
McGee is hiring Cam Clark, a senior analyst on Duke coach Manny Diaz’s 2025 Atlantic Coast Conference Champions staff, to run the Georgia State defense, sources tell FootballScoop.
It’s a notable hire for McGee, who is seeking to turn around Georgia State after going just 4-20 in his first two seasons at the helm.
While Clark arrives at Georgia State after assisting the Duke Blue Devils offense, his background is in defensive coaching.
He served two years as defensive coordinator at Football Championship Subdivision program Western Illinois, and he also ran the defense at Lamar University. Additionally, Clark was defensive coordinator at Georgia prep powerhouse Thomas County Central High School.
A former star player at Harding University, Clark obtained his master’s degree from Auburn University, where he served as a graduate assistant.
He has additional Football Bowls Subdivision experience from coaching under both Hugh Freeze and Gus Malzahn while serving on their respective staffs at Arkansas State.
