Sheriff Couch Under Fire Over DUI | Atlanta News

In Hall County, Georgia, Sheriff Gerald Couch faces a recall bid after two DUI arrests — the second for violating his restricted driving permit by driving without the required device. Leading the effort, Melanie Garrish argues that leaders must be held to higher standards, sparking a public reckoning over accountability. Meanwhile, Couch’s attorney is challenging a judge’s ruling to exclude evidence from his trial, pushing the case to the Georgia Court of Appeals and delaying his September 21st trial. Though Couch insists he’ll remain sheriff and believes in his innocence, the legal battle and growing recall movement keep the spotlight firmly on him.
