Gavonta C.

"I would like to start off by Thanking the Henry County Task Force for all of their hard work on these cases. I know first hand how many man hours have gone into executing search warrants, interviewing suspects and witnesses, gathering evidence, and building a case to not only make an arrest but get a conviction. It has been a priority from the beginning to get justice for the victims involved in these incidents and return a sense of comfort to the community and I'm proud the officers are working towards that goal.  I know these arrests may not have come as quick as some would have liked, but it was imperative that these cases were investigated properly and done in accordance of the law. Due to the severity of these incidents, all juvenile parties involved over the age of 16 who were using any deadly weapons will be charged as adults. This behavior will not be tolerated within the City of Abbeville and I believe the persons responsible need to be held accountable for their actions.  This is an ongoing investigation and I foresee more arrests forthcoming. If anyone has any other information regarding the shooting incidents they can contact the Abbeville Police Department at 334-585-2222 or the Henry County Sheriff's Office at 334-585-3131." - Chief Eric Blankenship
