House candidate McLeod released after arrest on false imprisonment charge
Attorney Wright McLeod, a candidate for Georgia House District 123, was booked Thursday on a charge of false imprisonment then released on his own recognizance.
Richmond County Magistrate Court Judge William D. Jennings III signed the warrants for the arrests of McLeod and Amy Palowitch, ruling there was probable cause to
support a charge of false imprisonment.
At a pre-arrest hearing last week, Janice Jamison presented her side of a Dec. 28 incident in which she said that McLeod and Palowitch came into her office at the Augusta Warrior Project and told her she was fired.
According to Jamison’s complaint, McLeod, a board member of the Augusta Warrior Project, and Palowitch told her she wouldn’t be allowed to leave unless she let them search her purse and backpack. Jamison refused and the sheriff’s office was called in.
