A Hazlehurst man remains in the Coffee County Jail after he allegedly threatened two individuals because of a car he let someone borrow, according to a report from the Coffee County Sheriff’s Office.
The report states that on October 28, 2026, an officer spoke with Jamie Clance, 46, of Hazlehurst, regarding the situation. Clance stated that on October 25, he allowed a female to use his vehicle but she had not returned it. The deputy went to the female’s home and spoke with her. She told him where the vehicle was.
During the discussion, the female showed the officer threatening text messages that Clance had allegedly sent her. In two of the messages, Clance stated that he was going to shoot her, according to the report.
On October 30, 2026, Clance was arrested and charged with terroristic threats. He was booked into the Coffee County Jail.
On November 1, 2026, while he was still on jail on the previous charge, the female victim spoke with another deputy and showed him a message that Clance had allegedly sent to another individual, an elderly man, threatening him. The deputy spoke with Clance at the jail who, the report says, admitted to sending the message to the man as well.
As a result, Clance was charged with a second count of terroristic threats and acts. He remains incarcerated.
