Sound Off: Indictment of Sheriff's Son After 4 Years

A grand jury has true-billed charges against Bartow County Sheriff Clark Millsap's son, nearly four years following his arrest on drug charges.

David Clark Millsap was 22 years old in 2008 when he was pulled over by a deputy and arrested in connection with alleged marijuana found in his car.

Charges against Millsap—possession of marijuana more than an ounce and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime—will proceed through the criminal justice system following the Aug. 10 indictment, reported last week.

District Attorney Joe Campbell cited "human error" and said "nobody tried to hide anything," referring to Millsap's file, which reportedly was found and presented following an inquiry with Campbell's office.
