MISPLACED MURDERER

By Bob Walsh

The Clayton County (GA) lost a murderer for a few hours recently.  After going batshit crazy looking for the superannuated killer they discovered that the transport crew had left him in a holding cell at the courthouse for 12 hours or so.  He had been moved there for a misdemeanor legal beef.  Apparently it wasn't really clear who was responsible for watching him so nobody watched him.

The prisoner, Julian Brooks Deloach, 70, was left alone in the holding cell which is not intended for overnight housing, though it does have a toilet.  The cell is accessible from both the jail and the court house, but nobody bothered to look there for 12 hours while they were searching the jail for him. 

Clayton County Sheriff Levon Allen has recommended that the Sergeant involved be busted down and the deputies be suspended.  They have elected to not appeal the sheriff's decision.
