What this means: Multiple arrest warrants were issued for Robert Brandon Keller in Bulloch County for serious felony charges including murder, malice murder, armed robbery, hijacking a motor vehicle, aggravated battery, aggravated assault, and possession of a firearm or knife during the commission of certain crimes. The warrants were signed by a magistrate and filed with the Bulloch County Superior Court clerk.

The incident allegedly occurred on 10/14/24 between 8:04 PM and 8:31 PM in Bulloch County.

MOTION FOR BOND AND PRELIMINARY HEARING FILED
What this means: Robert Brandon Keller’s defense attorney, Daveniya Fisher from the Office of the Public Defender for the Ogeechee Judicial Circuit, filed a motion requesting that Keller be granted bond and asking for a preliminary hearing in case SU24WR762P. The motion argues that Keller poses no significant risk of committing another felony, fleeing the jurisdiction, or intimidating witnesses. The filing notes that Keller is homeless and has been held in the Bulloch County jail since his arrest on 10/24/24. Under Georgia law, these serious charges are only eligible for bond from a Superior Court judge, not a magistrate. The motion was served on the District Attorney’s office as required by law.
