City Commissioner James Henry Brooks Sr. has been charged with influencing a witness and obstructing the investigation of the fatal shooting of a baby and wounding of his mother March 21.
Brooks, also charged with racketeering in unrelated cases in Camden County, was booked into the Glynn County jail.
He was at the Glynn County Courthouse Monday when the mother of murder defendant De'Marquise Elkins left the courthouse after her son's initial court appearance. As Karimah Elkins and another woman walked from the courthouse, a county police investigator tried to speak with her. Brooks stepped between them and prevented the officer from speaking with the mother, officials said.
A bail of $1,256 has been set on the obstruction charge, but there is no bail on the charge of influencing witnesses, authorities said.

Wow. One of my best friends lives in Brunswick, and he happens to be black. He does not contribute to the stereotype. Just a working musician, like me.
Okay, how black is he, this Brooks race pimp? Suppose the Holder unJustice dept. has put a ‘bug’ in his ear?If the thugocracy doesn’t have a racial crisis, they just send little black devils to gin one up! Can Sharptoon and Jaclkasson be far behind?
Thanks Swampy! Seems to be a relative. Gee.... what a wonderful family, huh?
“As Karimah Elkins and another woman walked from the courthouse, a county police investigator tried to speak with her. Brooks stepped between them and prevented the officer from speaking with the mother, officials said.”
How is this against the law? Sounds like the Jesse Jackson look-alike must have gotten on someone’s bad side.
The LEO’s have hinted at a gang connection in this case and they have also hinted that it is the gang angle where Commissioner Brooks gets drawn into the puzzle.
This is a shock. I thought Brunswick was a picture perfect, wholesome, quiet little town. Sounds like it must have a shady side as well. How sad.
Seems like the town is a Bloods stronghold, the shooter’s mother, aunt, and sister all charged in the case, the O.G. mayor...
“How is this against the law?” You can’t be serious.
Or their mammas have boyfriends in high places.
MORE DEAD EYES!!!
And his peeps ELECTED him to City Commissioner??? OMG....I am really starting to believe certain people are TOO STUPID to get thru life and do moral things....geesh.
He looks like Obambi’s father.
Still waiting for the illegal alien racist POS living in our White House to call the mother of the slaughtered baby to console her and maybe offer to pay all funeral expense for the little tyke. Obambi’s a multimillionaire and could pay out of his own pocket . . . wouldn’t that be nice?
After all, his own sons killed the little guy!
“Never side with a white person against another black person.”
Without bail, according to the article. Throw away the key.
They need to take a good look at the public defender Gough —
I hope you aren’t holding your breath......LOL

“How is this against the law? You cant be serious.””
Since when is it a crime to advise someone not to talk to the police (unless the officer was assaulted in the process)?
What kind of relative?? They're all related down there. Is that supposed to be some kind of excuse on his part.
They just need to round up the entire Elkins crime family, turn them upside down and shake them.
Ever since they passed laws against obstructing law enforcement and against influencing a witness in a murder case it has been illegal to obstruct law enforcement in a murder case and illegal to influence a key witness in a murder, my FRiend. He isn’t her legal counsel and he isn’t just some inconsequential party, he’s the acting mayor.
Besides, look at the guy’s rap sheet in comment #14—and furthermore, he’s currently charged with bribery and racketeering himself.
The fact that he’s being held without bond on the witness influencing charge tells us they know he’s connected to the case/family in a very key way. Methinks the Bloods have an O.G. as mayor of the town and the whole sh*t wagon is about to blow.
