Originally reported by turbo2-c3013 — 2026-04-20
Four Georgia State Patrol troopers fired for misconduct tied to $83,000 in personal injury claims from pursuits involving fleeing drivers remain certified and employed, according to records. Hunter Waters, Tyler Byrd, Joseph Curlee, and Isaiah Francois were listed as ‘in good standing’ 15 days after their termination, with the Georgia Peace Officer Standards and Training Council showing they were still actively employed. The Georgia POST was not formally notified of the terminations, raising questions about accountability. Claims included unverified complaints of soreness, anxiety, and sleeplessness without medical records, prompting legal experts to note potential fraud indicators.
