This morning at approximately 8:15am officers form the Thomaston Police Department with assistance for the Upson County Sheriff’s Office and Georgia State Patrol responded to a 911 call from City Hall in reference to an irate employee who was making threats to shoot a co-worker, with reports that the subject was armed.
Officers arrived on the scene within 2 minutes at which time they quickly and safely entered the building, located the employee and took him into custody without further incident. No employees or the suspect were injured and it was determined that there was no actual weapon involved.
The employee was identified as Joshua Murray. Murray was transported to the Police Department along with several witnesses for further investigation.
