Governor Sonny Perdue has appointed a new district attorney in northeast Georgia to replace the prosecutor who had resigned amid a state investigation.
42-year-old Richard K. Bridgeman gets the job--he will oversee the Piedmont Judicial Circuit, covering Banks, Barrow and Jackson counties. Bridgeman moves from the post of assistant DA in the Mountain, Northern and Piedmont districts.
The former DA for the Piedmont Circuit was Tim Madison. He resigned June 4th as an investigation was underway into whether he misspent thousands of dollars from a victims' assistance fund.
