Screven County Attorney Resigns, Recommends Attorney Repping Neighboring County on His Way Out  

The attorney for the Screven County Board of Commissioners resigned effective immediately on Tuesday ahead of the regularly scheduled commission meeting. 

Commissioners were notified Tuesday morning around 7:30 a.m., about an hour and a half before the 9:00 a.m meeting, that Hubert Reeves was stepping down from his position. It was formally announced during the Commission meeting. 

TheGeorgiaVirtue.com obtained a copy of the resignation letter, which is dated May 9, 2022. The letter from Reeves cites “aging out” as the reason behind his departure. 

It also recommends Statesboro attorney George Rountree as the recommended counsel in the interim. Rountree currently represents Jenkins County, which borders Screven County. 

Traditionally, local government agencies that border each other or reside within one another don’t share legal counsel due to the possible conflict which could arise in the event of a dispute. Jenkins County, having retained Rountree first, would prevail with the representation, leaving Screven County without any. The two counties are also currently intertwined in a contract dealing with trash hauling and landfill use, via Atlantic Waste Services. 

The City of Claxton and Evans County dealt with a similar conflict roughly a decade ago after sharing the same legal council for years.

The complete letter obtained under the Georgia Open Records Act is below.

  1. This is a brief overview of the outright terrorism and 18 US Code 242-depravation of rights under color of law

    felony acts I was subjected to within the boundaries of Jenkins County Georgia. This was a conspiracy effort to cover up the abduction of my child out of the state of Georgia during the commission of a felony in 1996, OCGA 16-8-2 theft by taking of my mother’s car felony, OCGA 16-5-20 assault, OCGA 16-5-23 battery, US tile 18 section 1072 of the US code unlawful flight to avoid prosecution felony, along with a lot of other state and federal felony criminal acts perpetrated by another lawyer who had went decades in concealment. the list of crimes committed against me in Jenkins County include but is not limited to felony fraud on Jenkins County Court, OCGA 16-10-20.1 felony false interments for filing, OCGA 16-10-20 felony false statements in writing, OCGA 45-11-1 felony falsified public records, Felony conspiracy OCGA 16-4-8 by attorney Hubert Reeves, clerk of court Elizabeth Landing, attorney Jon Toner, and key individual in law enforcement. this list also includes felony refusal to perform a sworn duty by a government official in practice of their official capacity.

    upon examining the attachments, you will see that in 1996 my family and i were the victim in a slew of crimes by a kidnapper, who is now an acting attorney in the state of NY. There was five Sheriff Deputies involved with the offender before she absconded .1) Mike Ferrento, Berlin Georgia police, currently rents an apartment in Thomasville Georgia from a Sergeant Harris of the Colquitt County Sheriff Department. 2) Captain Whittington, who Is now acting Sheriff of Colquitt County Georgia.3) Max Gay, who has passed away. 4) Joey Tomlinson, who currently works at Robert Huston Ford in Colquitt County Georgia. These officers were repeatedly called to my home by me at 256 Brice Street, Berlin Georgia, in Colquitt county. The exact address may be obtained by viewing said attached police reports that have been disclosed in this email. Deputies told the offender if they came into contact with her again, they were going to arrest her for domestic violence. On August 23, 1996 the kidnapper punched me in the face while I was driving. I pulled into a burger king located in Colquitt county, went into said location to call police. we had no cell phones in 1996. i left the keys in my mother car, which was borrowed to run errands. the kidnapper jumped in the driver seat, and drove off with the car to avoid being arrested by police. this is the last time I have ever seen the perpetrator or my child to this day. There is no statute of limitation for crimes in Georgia when the offender flees the state to avoid being arrested, OCGA 17-3-2.

    The kidnapper fled the state of Georgia with felony warrant for her arrest, showing up in the state of New Jersey 3 days later, gave false information to contact the victims of her crime, tried claiming my mother stolen car in her court pleadings, altered events that transpired in Georgia putting herself out as the victim instead of the perpetrator of violence, stated no police were called when they were and said officers named her the aggressive party, ect. If you examine the dates, times, and location of all reports in Georgia coupled with the dates, times and locations she appeared in NJ, you will see clearly what is being divulged is true. these are issues that the government officials of Jenkins County Georgia have actively worked to suppress from being filed in a court of law, and used acts of terrorism to do so.

    Moreover, the address the kidnapper gave in her pleading, to a foreign court 1200 miles away from where she committed crimes, that lacked any form of jurisdiction to hear a case under any circumstances, when she fled the start of Georgia to avoid being arrested, are unknown. the falsified address she gave is located 3 and a half hours away from my home at 256 Brice Street, Berlin Georgia 31722. The order she was unlawfully granted by a foreign court of NJ violated the federal Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Enforcement Acts 6-month in state requirement to grant child custody, my substantive and procedural due process rights, lacked any forms of jurisdiction over an out of state defendant whatsoever, violated minimum contact requirements to hear a case against an out of state defendant, and even violated NJ’s own legal statutes that Plaintiffs must file a restraining order in the county where the defendant lives, and that the court hearing the case must have in state personal jurisdiction over a defendant for the process to move forward. in order for NJ to exercise any Jurisdiction they would have to serve me within the state, the act would have had to happen in the state, i would have to own property within the state, I would have to travel to the state of NJ for business or pleasure, i would have to do business within the state. i do not, and have not ever done any of these things. Furthermore, Federal law invalidates such orders under18-U.S.C.2265 b1) personal jurisdiction over an out of state defendant, and 18-U.S.C.2265 b2) opportunity to be heard. Both section of 18-U.S.C.2265 must be established in order for an order to be legally binding. these laws apply throughout the United States, including in Jenkins County Georgia. Judges, Clerks of Court, Attorney, and Law Enforcement officer are bound by the law.

    Within months of perpetrating these crimes against me and my family by the kidnapper, the offender started sending communication to my parents’ home, see enclosed envelopes sent by the abductor, proving she knew proper addresses to give the court to contact the victims of her crimes. these are Fact the government official of Jenkins County Georgia not only unlawfully ignored and dismissed, but collectively collaborated to actively to suppress me from filing such information through the court during the judicial process. Inimically, the abductor gave fake addresses from the outset of her crimes because at the time, the Deputies of Colquitt County Georgia were very familiar with her, and could testify to her story of being a victim were 100% manufactured. moreover, said car thief was also trying to claim my mother stolen car in the foreign court of NJ, having no knowledge of data bases such as NCIC. Furthermore, the letter the offender sent were filled with love, affection, photo graphs of herself describing herself romantically to me, threats of violence to shoot me in the face, burn down house, and kill anyone who got in her way. Each letter sent by the absconder had no return address and there was no mention of any hearing that transpired in NJ.

    in 2014 an attorney who is lic to practice in the state, federal, and Supreme Court of the United States helped me locate the abductor and my child. after concealing herself for decades, this man discovered her exact location in upstate NY. at the point, certified mail was sent to several Georgia Superior Court Judges who have jurisdiction over the offender, several Superior Court Judges in both NJ and NY, District Attorneys from the State Of GA and NJ, federal prosecutors from both the state of Georgia, State of New York, and the State of New Jersey. My father started communicating with the State Bar of NY where the absconder now practiced law. I personally had a 30-minute conversation with the Prosecutors office in the state of NJ in regard to the abductors. I also communicated with the Bulloch county District Attorney offices and informed them of all events, prior to speaking with Attorney Hubert Reeves. I even went in and talked directly to the Sheriff of Jenkins County and divulged issues of concern to that office, informed him of all events, showed him the paper work, and divulged i foreseen trouble from this individual once she learned I was communicating with government officials over her crimes.

    6 months in to this revelation, it was discovered that I was actually legally married to the abductor. I had been brainwashed for years by authorities telling me I was not actually married to the abductor because the abductor, going behind the scenes, brainwashed everyone we were not married, circumvent any right to my child for decades. I immediately went in and talked to the terrorist/ attorney named Hubert Reeves. After hiring Reeves, the abductor was served for a divorce in Georgia, gaining jurisdiction over her in our State, in the county of Jenkins. The kidnapper, concealing herself for decades, appallingly is now a practicing attorney in the state of NY. She is involved in human trafficking, connected with the Sheriff Department and the FBI in NY State. Once the kidnapper was served, it was noticed that I was being placed under surveillance. There was a white truck consistently driving up and down my isolated dirty road and the same truck followed me consistently all hour of the day and night. Said vehicle would stop along the property line at 2050 dry branch RD in Perkin, take picture, and then drive off. at one point on a Sunday afternoon, I had three armed men follow me into the forest, one arbitrarily struck up a conversation with me while another came up behind me, and another searched the area where we were standing while brandishing a firearm. they were driving a white truck with Chatham County Tags, and they were all brandishing pistols. Moreover, a helicopter hover over the side of 2050 dry branch RD for about 15 minutes watching me harrow and bush hog the property on the isolated dirty back country road, on at least two occasions. My father residence had also been broken into. All of these events happened within three weeks of the abductor being served for a divorce in Jenkins County.

    During that three-week period, out of the blue, in a very patterned playbook, i was falsely accused of making threats when no threat was ever administered. once it was discovered i was recording all communication between everyone, which i still have saved, the tactics shifted to accusations of kidnapping my own father by my estranged half-sisters, who i have neither seen nor participated in any aspects of their lives since 1993. The Abductor started contacting my estranged family members after being served to create chaos by dragging individual she was aware had been ostracized by my family decades prior. To be clear, my father worked in the union, and most of the time he lived on the road going from place to place working outages. Other times, i live in Atlanta or Athens while attending UGA and then Georgia State. At times, we would not see each other for months on end. My father requested my presence at 2050 Dry Branch RD to help him maintain the property and his animals while he was gone. i burned off forest, made fire breaks, harrowed filed, bush hogged, ditch witched water and sewer lines, stretched fences, cut down trees, installed irrigation, planted, and all types of stuff to help him while he was Absent. he requested me to come to Millen, never having been to that county in my life.

    After all other manufactured avenues failed that were being orchestrated by the kidnapper to cause alarm, the FBI showed up at my dad’s home out of the blue fabricating issues of me owning automatic weapons. to be clear, the only two people who assumed I lived at 2050 dry branch RD in Perkins Georgia was Hubert Reeves and the kidnapper. I utilized his address during court filings to protect myself from a very manipulative seasoned liar, connected directly to the FBI through human trafficking and police in NY state. this is the criminal who abducted my child, stole my mom’s car, committed domestic violence, and manipulated everything to a foreign court to hid my child for decades. Accordingly, the FBI were sent to search for manufactured claims of me owning automatic weapons. According to the Kidnappers own fabricating statement, “she had got a call from the FBI warning her about going to a divorce hearing.” this manufactured claim is outright bogus. 1) i already knew the kidnapper was not coming to Georgia through attorney Hubert Reeves. 2) i had contacted tons of Judges, District Attorneys, and Federal Agents before she was even served for a divorce to protect myself from a cry wolf situation.

    Shortly, after month of effectively communicating with several Superior Court Judges, FBI agents in Different locations, District attorney’s that spanned three different states, i was again being accused of owning automatic weapons by a kidnapper to falsely raise alarms against my intentions. At issue was an AR-15 bushmaster semi-automatic rifle, which is lawful to own in the state of Georgia and is by no means an Automatic fire arm. HOWEVER, under the New York safe Act, possession of the brand bushmaster AR-15 is considered a felony. an assault rife is defined as any rife with a detachable magazine. An assault weapons is a felony to possess if it has a pistol grip that protrude beneath the action of the weapon, any AR-15 with a pistol grip or a secondary pistol grip, has a folding or telescope stock is considered illegal and is a felony. comically, a Bushmaster AR-15 was purchased from an individual in Millen Georgia for my father’s birthday in September 2015. this was lawfully purchased under Georgia law, and is perfectly legal to own in Georgia. i was born in Georgia, and have been a resident in the state for the last twenty-five years. NY dose not dictate the laws of this state, not control its citizens.

    shortly, in a period of 3 weeks, i having no contact with any Law Enforcement, having broken no laws in our state, havening spent year in academics, volunteering with tons of organizations all over Georgia, was all of a sudden being followed, searched, accused of making threats, kidnapping, and owning automatic weapons. FBI agents do not just arbitrarily show up at an individual home without being requested by another government agency or official, much like the GBI. in any event, I will submit to any lie detector test administered by any law enforcment agency in regard to all the accusations that were leveled against me by anyone involved. It was all totally manufactured out of thin air by an individual who fled this state and committed tons of federal and stated felony criminal acts in her exit. Then supported by a bunch of frauds in Jenkins County.

    after speaking to Hubert reeves, it became very clear he was not going to do his duty and bring issues to the court’s attention over the abduction of my daughter, theft of my parent’s car, and all other issues I have been dealing with for decades. This wayward piece of shit refused to perform his sworn duty, so i terminated that fraud immediately. After I terminated reeves he called me belligerent, and then stayed actively involved in my case to sabotage it, against my wishes. this imbecile was my hired legal advocate, not a judge I was standing before. He had all evidence before him and willfully chose to ignore. This conspirator after being terminated by me for refusing to perform his duty, filed a request to be removed from my case, and then waited for an answer from a court to have permission. this was perpetrated even though he had already been terminated by me. To be clear, I do not need permission from any court to fire any lawyer I have hired being actively involved in my case, whatsoever. My right to have representation of my choice is paramount under the constitution, this entails who I do not want to represent or be involved in my cause of action. Plainly, Reeves was terminated from representation because his interests were in direct conflict with mine, his paying client. I had every right to terminate that relationship effective immediately. But Hubert Reeves, after failed attempts to take me into custody on manufactured claims of threats and automatic weapons, made the choice to stay actively involved with my case against my permission in order to sabotage his former client.

    After being terminated, Hubert Reeves ran all kinds of interference with efforts to bring out issues of crimes committed against me and my family. He had opposing lawyers send him answers to pleadings, and then withheld those manufactured issues from me that were sent directly to his office. After failed attempts to take me into custody on manufactured claims of threats and owning automatic weapons failed, opposing lawyer then filed a pleading 54 days after the abductor was served. Under Georgia law O.C.G.A 19-11-12(a), the kidnapper only had 30 days to file an answer, but when all plans fell through, they invented issues of rape, torture, and sexual assault to terrorize, intimidate, and shame me into silence. said 52 day filing manufactured claim is barred under operation of law O.C.G.A 19-11-12(a) thirty-day requirement. Again, I will submit to a lie detector by any law enforcement agency in regard to me every raping, torturing, sexually assaulting anyone, owning automatic weapons, kidnapping my dad, or threating any party involved. these people are terrorist who belong in prison: Hubert Reeves, Susan Griskonis, Elizabeth Landing, Marcus Kirkland, Jon Toner, Sandy Johnson, Angela Callahan, William Woodrum Jr.

    The abductor, when she was directly contacted by my new attorney, did not say anything about her answers being filed with the court 54 days after she was served. Nor did she notify my attorney that she had hired a legal representation. What she did do was try brainwashing my new attorney I had raped and tortured her. that the FBI had contacted her directly and told her i owned automatic weapons. 1) the only people who assumed i was at 2050 Dry Branch Rd where the FBI showed up were Hubert Reeves and the Kidnapper. the only way the FBI showed up to that location was being directed there by one of the two. No one alive assumed i lived that said location. not a single person Alive knew that was my dad’s address. we kept it a secret from everyone. 2) it was already assumed the kidnapper was not coming, due to conversations with Attorney Hubert Reeves, which i still have in my possession.

    moreover, the neither the kidnapper nor Hubert Reeves were unaware that I had been in communication with all the Judges, District Attorneys, Law enforcement official mentioned above. more to the point, the Kidnapper was unaware that i had retained all police reports, and the unlawful order in NJ now in my possession, and could efficiently dispute her wild accusations. furthermore, the abductor was also unaware that I still had all the cards, letters, and photographs she sent after she fled the state of Georgia to avoid arrest which clearly divulging her issues of love and affection toward me, not ones of rape and torture. lastly but not least, the Kidnapper, named her son my identical name Jeffrey Wayne Clark, after she fled this state. I had no influence over that decision, i did not even know she was pregnant when she fled, and to this day have never seen nor communicated with such child. If someone rapes and tortures an individual, that individual is not going to name that child the tortures and rapist identical name. again, i have not seen this woman since August 23, 1996. these are whole sale fabrications, and Jenkins County Government official are absolutely complicit in the crimes committed against me. They saw fit to unlawfully come into a situation that had been ongoing for 20, in order to illegally rearrange everything to their own liking, and falsify public record while doing so O.C.G. A 45-11-1(felony), these people are terrorist who need to be drug into the light.

    Without going even deeper into details. I tried on several occasion to file tons of police reports, cards, letters sent by the abductor within Jenkins County Court, and was illegally denied by Clerk of Court Elizabeth Landing. This lady, being influence by Hubert Reeves, refused to preform her sworn oath and duty of office, which is a felony charge under the law of Georgia. After her repeated refusal, a Law firm directed me to send the filing certified mail to her office, and I did. She sent the filing back to me and again refused to allow me to file anything whatsoever in my defense. These people committed crimes against me under the color of their office and I have a mountain of evidence to prove they committed acts of terrorism against me, collaborated to cover up kidnapping, domestic violence, and a slew of other crimes under the color of their official offices and titles including fraud on the court, false interment for filing, falsifying public records, ect.

    Lastly, after these people committed crimes against me through that small town court, during the next election cycle, I made flyers and went door to door canvasing against them for re-election. In said flyers information was divulged to directly impact people’s decision in a voting booth. Hubert Reeves and other government officials sent the Sheriff of the County to my dad’s property to intimidate me to stop a constitutionally protected activity against government officials, under the first Amendment. This Amendment is the very first thing the founding father saw paramount for people ability to speak out against tyrannical government officials like the local official of Jenkins County. Directly, it is neither the government officials nor their lackey to decide when people can or cannot use said constitutional protect rights. Said Millen officials then further violated what they saw as my conditional right, by directed one Millen police detective Adams, who I believe was just arrested in Statesboro for family violence, to make official reports of my constitutionally protected actively and fabricated issues of me being dangerous for utilizing such right. Plainly, these individuals do not have a problem with me, they have a problem with the constituent of the United States. Said Constitution rejects and condemns government official like who hold office in Jenkins County, and so does its Georgia constituents.

    i don’t care if it takes the rest of my life, i am going to make sure that people know the terrorism i was subjected to by the government official in Jenkins County and they are all brought to justice.
