STORY 2: Buckhead Man Charged With Terroristic Threats And Aggravated Assault After Dispute With Firefighter Kenneth Bailey, 58, of Buckhead, was arrested on April 24 for aggravated assault and terroristic threats after allegedly attempting to run over a Morgan County firefighter during a dispute over a suspected illegal burn on his property. Firefighters reported black smoke and metal components in the fire, violating his burn permit for organic materials. Bailey allegedly threatened and drove aggressively at firefighter Allen Hagler, who had to jump to avoid being hit. Despite claiming he had a permit, Bailey’s actions led to charges after witness statements were collected. He remains in custody at the Morgan County Jail.

Cooper pleaded guilty in Walton County Probate Court, paying a $1,251 fine. He was placed on administrative leave in February and parted ways with the county in March, though he will be paid through his contract ending May 7. Cooper, who served as county manager since May 2023, expressed gratitude for his time in Newton County. His case was overseen by a Walton County judge after a local judge recused herself.
