Prayers for Richmond County!!

𝗜𝗡 𝗠𝗘𝗠𝗢𝗥𝗬 𝗢𝗙 𝗧𝗪𝗢 𝗢𝗙 𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗢𝗪𝗡

The Richmond County Sheriff’s Office is mourning the loss of two members of our family in less than 24 hours.

Yesterday afternoon, Deputy Jailer Michael Davis unexpectedly passed away following a medical emergency. Deputy Davis dedicated 28 years of service to the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office and was assigned to D Shift at the Charles B. Webster Detention Center.

This morning, our agency suffered another heartbreaking loss when Deputy Phillip Wasson passed away following a traffic collision. Deputy Wasson served the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office for 18 years and was assigned to the Traffic Division.

Together, Deputy Davis and Deputy Wasson gave 46 years of service to this agency and the citizens of Richmond County. But their service cannot be measured simply in years. They were deputies, coworkers, friends, and members of our Sheriff’s Office family. They were our Brothers.

Today, there are two families grieving the loss of someone they loved, and there are coworkers throughout our agency grieving alongside them.

Sheriff Eugene Brantley and the entire Richmond County Sheriff’s Office ask that you keep the Davis and Wasson families, their friends, and their fellow deputies in your thoughts and prayers during the difficult days ahead.

Service arrangements for both deputies will be released once they have been finalized.

‼️‼️WANTED‼️‼️

On August 17th, 2026 at approximately 12:37 p.m. Harris County 911 received a report of an unresponsive woman in the front yard of a residence at 9306 Georgia Highway 208 in Waverly Hall.
Responding deputies discovered 35-year-old Nicole Karastury Elliott deceased in the yard from what appeared to be a single gunshot wound.

The follow-up investigation conducted by the Harris County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigations Division, along with crime-scene processing by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, revealed that at approximately 10:04 a.m., Ms. Elliott was involved in a domestic dispute with 36-year-old Andrew Roy Harris of 23 Ivy Lane, Phenix City, Alabama. During the dispute, Ms. Elliott was fatally shot.

Harris fled the scene and is currently wanted by the Harris County Sheriff’s Office for Felony Murder and Aggravated Assault. He was last seen on foot in Phenix City after fleeing the America’s Best Value Inn near U.S. Highway 280 bypass.

Anyone who sees Harris should not approach him. Immediately call 911 or contact the Harris County Sheriff’s Office with any information concerning his location. He is considered armed and dangerous.
This is an active investigation, and additional information will be released when appropriate.

The Harris County Sheriff’s Office extends its deepest sympathy to the family and loved ones of Nicole Elliott. Domestic violence brings unimaginable pain to victims, families, and entire communities. We ask everyone to keep Ms. Elliott’s family in their thoughts and prayers as they face this heartbreaking loss.

IT’S GOING TO BE ANOTHER HOT ONE NEXT WEEK!

Schley County is expected to experience high temperatures and humidity next week. The combination of heat and humidity can make it feel much hotter than the actual temperature and increase the risk of heat exhaustion and heat stroke.

●Stay hydrated
●Take frequent breaks in a cool place. ●Never leave children or pets in a hot vehicle
●Know the signs of heat exhaustion and heat stroke
●Call 911 if someone shows signs of heat stroke

Stay cool. Stay hydrated. Stay safe!
