WILKINSON COUNTY, Ga. — The assistant police chief of Gordon in Wilkinson County now faces charges after a traffic stop over the weekend.
Georgia State Patrol says a trooper from Post 20 originally pulled over 44-year-old Andy Hester because of a trailer he was towing.
Hester then allegedly admitted to drinking, but refused all sobriety tests and the state test. He was then taken to the Wilkinson County jail.
Police Chief Mike Hall says Hester has been with the department for 25 years, and has been assistant chief for two of those. Hester has been suspended without pay for three days.
“It’s embarrassing, that’s all it is and the officer will tell you the same thing. That’s the first thing he told me, ‘It’s embarrassing’ and he said it ‘Ain’t nobody’s fault but his fault,’ He done what he done and he drank the beer. That’s just the way it was. I mean we’re all people, we all have our own private lives and it’s something you learn by. Everybody learns by mistakes,” said Hall.
