“Let me be crystal clear, we certainly will not tolerate any individual, regardless of who you are, coming to what we consider to be God’s country of Henry County and harming any of our police officers in any kind of way,” Henry County Sheriff Reginald Scandrett told reporters, the outlet noted.
“So Mr. Jackson, whatever hole you’re in, I assure you we’re coming to find you, we will place you in custody and we will bring you to justice,” the sheriff added.
Jackson, who is believed to be armed and dangerous, is wanted on aggravated assault charges for allegedly shooting Desai multiple times, the New York Post noted.
If you have information as to Jackson’s whereabouts you are asked to call Crime Stoppers Greater Atlanta at (404) 577-TIPS.
