I felt like a hunted animal, followed constantly, waiting to be killed.
In the state of Georgia, I am a certified peace officer. I'm just not currently working for a police department.
I thank God that it has now ended, and that you now know what I have known all along.
It's a bomb. I've already called law enforcement. Let's get out of here.
I'm sure they're investigating everyone who was in the area.
I heard one of the agents talking to someone on the phone, saying there's not enough here to take (me). And then when he got off the phone, he looked at the other agent and said, 'That was Louis,'
The first step was a long process, ... Go Braves!
I believe I am entitled to a public explanation.
While the government can tell you that I am an innocent man, the government's letter cannot give me back my good name or my reputation.
