Wow. He was the CG of 8th ID back in the 80’s and I think CG of 8th Army in Korea as a full general.
I’d tend to believe him over what a cop says.
At that age he may not be the man he once was, or rather his mind may not be what it once was. The minute he (by the admission of his “loyal aid”) grabbed the drivers arm, he was breaking the law.
If you care to drop the Police Chief an e-mail
spitts@fayetteville-ga.gov (SPITTS?) Now that’s classy!
