Georgia police chief Anthony Williams arrested for burglary

A Georgia police chief allegedly broke into and burglarized a home last month, officials said.

Anthony Williams, chief of the Willacoochee Police Department, was arrested by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation Wednesday after receiving reports he allegedly busted into a home Oct. 11, the state agency said in a press release.

The GBI opened an investigation into the incident Monday at the request of the Alapaha Judicial Circuit District Attorney’s Office.

The 49-year-old chief turned himself in two days later.

Williams was booked, but posted a $5,000 bond, WALB News 10 reported.

The investigation is ongoing.
