A Georgia sheriff faces allegations of trying cover up a shooting. Towns County Sheriff Rudy Eller has admitted to lying to Georgia Bureau of Investigation agents about the July 9th shooting in Hiawassee, along the North Carolina border. The GBI says Eller pretended not to know anything about it, when in fact his Chief Deputy was responsible and told him about it. Investigators say Eller was protecting his Chief Deputy, who had fired shots into the home of his wife’s lover. Towns County Chief Deputy Eddie Osborn and another deputy are charged in the shooting.
