At approximately 0132 hours, Lieutenant White advised over the radio shots fired in the area of [2600 BLOCK] Irwinton Road. A few seconds later, I heard Lieutenant White and Sergeant Arp conduct a traffic stop on a black Honda Accord that was attempting to leave the scene. When I arrived in the area, I observed Lieutenant White and Sergeant Arp out with a vehicle holding the occupants at gun point. I assisted them in holding the occupants at gunpoint as each one was individually requested out of the vehicle and placed in handcuffs. The four individuals were identified as Jamar Bolston, Travion Williams, Mario Finney, and Demarion Baker.
After all occupants had been removed from the vehicle, Deputy Turnipseed and I conducted a thorough hand search of the interior of the vehicle. A Glock 23 .40 caliber handgun was located on the floorboard of the passenger side rear seat compartment. A Glock 19 9mm handgun was located on the floorboard of the front seat passenger compartment. A Glock 22 .40 caliber handgun was located under the drivers seat. Also located inside the vehicle were three (3) large canisters of Nitrous Oxide Gas (N2O).
MPD officers assisted in securing the scene where the shots were fired and located numerous spent shell casings in the grass. The scene was secured with yellow crime scene tape and a perimeter was set where shell casings were located. Seven (7) shell casings were located and marked with a yellow evidence placard.
I will secure Arrest Warrants for Bolston, Williams, Finney, and Baker charging them each with two counts of Aggravated Assault, and one count each of: Possession of a firearm during the commission or attempt to commit a crime, Theft of Mislaid/lost property, Theft by receiving stolen property, and Possession of a machine gun.
Travion Williams and Demarion Baker, both being under the age of 18, will be charged with one count each of Possession of a handgun by persons under 18. They were all transported to Baldwin County Jail and turned over to Jail staff with a completed booking/arrest sheet.

DEFENSE FILES FIRST MOTION FOR BOND — TRAVION AMIR WILLIAMS
What this means: Attorney Keri Thompson, Chief Assistant Public Defender, filed a motion asking the Baldwin County Superior Court to set a reasonable bond for Travion Amir Williams. A bond allows a defendant to be released from jail while their case moves through the court system. This motion was filed while the case was still unindicted, meaning a grand jury had not yet formally reviewed the charges. The case at this stage was listed under charges including Aggravated Assault (2 counts) and Theft by Receiving Stolen Property.

ATTORNEY HOGANNE A. HARRISON-WALTON FILES LIMITED ENTRY OF APPEARANCE FOR TRAVION AMIR WILLIAMS
What this means: Attorney Hoganne A. Harrison-Walton of The Hogan Law Firm, LLC entered a limited appearance in Baldwin County Superior Court on behalf of Travion Amir Williams. This appearance was limited strictly to the purpose of seeking a bond for Williams — it does not mean Harrison-Walton is representing him on the underlying charges if the case proceeds to indictment. The filing also formally notified the court and prosecution that Williams does not waive any of his constitutional or statutory rights, and that any prior waivers — including any waiver of Miranda rights — are expressly revoked.
6/11/26
DEFENSE FILES SECOND MOTION FOR BOND — TRAVION AMIR WILLIAMS
What this means: A second Motion for Bond was filed in Baldwin County Superior Court on behalf of Travion Amir Williams. This motion, filed the same day attorney Hoganne A. Harrison-Walton entered a limited appearance, laid out arguments that Williams poses no significant risk of flight and has ties to the community, including residence in Milledgeville, Georgia. The motion asked the court to set a bond amount it deemed reasonable and proper. The full list of charges referenced in this filing includes Possession of a Firearm or Knife During Commission of or Attempt to Commit a Crime, Possession of a Handgun by a Person Under 18, Possession of Machine Guns/Sawed-Off Rifles/Sawed-Off Shotguns or Firearms, Theft by Receiving Stolen Property, Theft of Lost or Mislaid Property, and Aggravated Assault (2 counts).

JUDGE DENIES BOND FOR TRAVION AMIR WILLIAMS
What this means: Judge Terry N. Massey of the Ocmulgee Judicial Circuit signed an Order Denying Bond for Travion Amir Williams in Baldwin County Superior Court. The court considered the criteria for setting bond under Georgia law (O.C.G.A. §17-6-1(e)) and determined that bond should be denied. Of the listed grounds for denial, the court checked that Travion Amir Williams poses a significant threat or danger to another person, to the community, or to property in the community pending trial. The order covers Warrant Nos. 232855, 232856, 232857, 232858, 232859, 232860, and 232874. Williams remains held without bond as a result of this ruling.

TRAVION AMIR WILLIAMS WAIVES FORMAL ARRAIGNMENT AND ENTERS PLEA OF NOT GUILTY
What this means: Through attorney Hoganne A. Harrison-Walton, Travion Amir Williams voluntarily waived his right to a formal arraignment hearing and entered a plea of Not Guilty to all charges in the accusation and indictment in Baldwin County Superior Court. An arraignment is the court proceeding where a defendant is formally read the charges against them and asked how they plead. Waiving it is common and simply means the defendant skips that formality while still entering the Not Guilty plea on the record. Williams is presumed innocent of all charges.

DEFENSE FILES MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION OF BOND DENIAL AND SCHEDULES HEARING FOR 7/24/26

Wilkinson Street, Milledgeville, Georgia, on July 24, 2026 at 9:00 AM.

DEFENSE FILES PACKAGE OF PRE-TRIAL MOTIONS IN BALDWIN COUNTY SUPERIOR COURT
What this means: Attorney Hoganne A. Harrison-Walton filed a large package of pre-trial motions on behalf of Travion Amir Williams in Case No. SUWR2026000274. Pre-trial motions are requests the defense makes to the court before trial begins — they can shape what evidence is allowed, how the jury is selected, and how the trial is conducted. The motions filed on this date include:
Demand for Statutory Discovery — formally requesting that the State turn over all evidence it intends to use against Williams, as required by Georgia law.
Motion to Inspect, Copy, Examine and Test — requesting access to all physical evidence, documents, photos, audio, video, and other materials in the State’s possession or held by the Forensic Sciences Division or any law enforcement agency, so the defense can independently examine and test them before trial.
Notice to Produce — compelling the State to produce specific items including all reports and records related to the charges, written witness statements, names and contact information for all witnesses the State plans to call, any video or audio recordings of Williams during his stop and arrest, all photo identification cards or badges picturing Williams, and any information that could tend to show his innocence or undermine the credibility of the State’s witnesses.
Motion to Require Revealing of Newly Discovered Evidence and Motion to Extend Time to File Motions — asking the court to order the State to continuously disclose any new evidence it discovers, and to extend the deadline for the defense to file additional motions until the State has fully complied with its disclosure obligations.
Motion to Reveal All Deals Made with State’s Witnesses — requesting that the prosecution disclose any agreements, deals, or benefits offered to witnesses in exchange for their cooperation or testimony.
Motion to Suppress and Motion in Limine — asking the court to exclude certain evidence from trial. A Motion to Suppress typically targets evidence obtained in violation of a defendant’s constitutional rights, such as an unlawful search or seizure. A Motion in Limine asks the court to rule in advance that certain evidence or statements cannot be presented to the jury.
Motion to Prohibit Indictment from Going Out with the Jury, or in the Alternative to Redact Grand Juror Names — asking the court to either keep the indictment document out of the jury room entirely, or at minimum remove the names of the grand jurors from any copy the jury sees.
Motion to Prohibit the State from Asking Venire Whether They Can “Sit in Judgment” of Another — asking the court to bar the prosecution from using that specific phrasing during jury selection, which the defense argues is an improper question.
Motion to Eliminate the “All Doubt” and “Mathematical Certainty” Language from the Jury Charge on Reasonable Doubt — asking the court to remove specific phrases from the jury instructions that the defense argues could mislead jurors about the legal standard of proof required for a conviction.
Motion for Complete Recordation of All Proceedings — asking the court to order a certified court reporter to record every hearing, motion, voir dire session, bench conference, and any conference between the prosecutor and a judge held outside the presence of Williams and his counsel.
Motion Reserving the Right to File Additional Motions — asking the court to formally preserve Williams’s right to file further motions as discovery continues and the complexity of the case develops.
Notice of Defendant’s Election to Conduct Voir Dire in Panels of Twelve and for Sequestration of Panels — notifying the court and the State that Williams elects to have potential jurors questioned in groups of twelve at a time, with each panel seated in the jury box while the remaining pool waits outside the courtroom.
