On the evening of Feb. 26, 2020, a City of Hazlehurst Police Department officer stopped a vehicle due to the driver holding a cell phone. The driver provided a false name and date of birth and ultimately ran on foot before being captured by the Hazlehurst officer. It was later determined the driver was Abraham “Abe” Gordon, who City of Douglas Police Department detectives had secured an arrest warrant for the charge of tampering with evidence in connection to Bell’s death. Gordon was taken to the Jeff Davis County Detention Center awaiting extradition to Coffee County.
The City of Douglas Police Department would like to thank the City of Hazlehurst Police Department for their assistance in capturing Gordon.
