Sheriff Faces Six Federal Charges | Augusta Georgia News

Burke County Sheriff Alfonzo Williams is facing six federal charges, including allegedly accepting bribes to drop DUI cases and giving a gun to a convicted felon. The scandal erupted at a county commission meeting, where officials emphasized their duty to oversee spending and hold leaders accountable. While Williams remains on the job for now — pending potential governor’s action — he hasn’t issued a public statement, though he posted on Facebook. These are still just allegations; he’s presumed innocent until proven guilty in court. The case is ongoing, and the community is watching closely as legal proceedings unfold.
