Dismissed!

The criminal summons against County Clerk James L. (Jimmy) Poss charging him with assault has now officially been dismissed. The charge had nothing to do with his duties as county clerk.

Both Poss and his accuser Cameron Lester made an appearance in DeKalb County General Sessions Court today (Thursday). The attorney for Poss, Jon Slager asked Judge Brandon Cox for a dismissal of the charge adding that Lester also wanted the case dropped.

Judge Cox asked Lester if he was voluntarily asking for a dismissal and he replied yes.

Because it was an uncontested request, Judge Cox signed the order dismissing the charge against Poss as well as an expungement order under which all public records relating to the offense be expunged and destroyed upon payment of all costs to the clerk and that no evidence of such records pertaining to the offense be retained by any municipal, county, or state agency, except non-public confidential information retained in accordance with TCA (State Law).
