GRAND JURY RETURNS INDICTMENT — 5 COUNTS FILED AGAINST OTIS WESLEY HILL
What this means: A Bibb County grand jury formally charged Otis Wesley Hill, along with co-defendants Jeremi Devontrey Hill and Malik Mikeal Jenkins, in Superior Court Case No. 26CR86786 during the April Term 2026. The indictment was filed on May 13, 2026, and signed by the grand jury foreperson on May 13, 2026.
