It was Feb. 17, 2021 when Kimberly Hartley Brown was driving along Ga. 22 West toward Macon.
Seemingly out of nowhere, "a red Dodge pickup truck...completely crossed into her lane," and Brown attempted to swerve. It was too late, however, and the two vehicles collided.
Brown was airlifted to the Medical Center in Macon, while the driver of the pickup truck – James Edwin Dixon, now 50 – remained at the scene. Dixon blew into an intoxilyzer and registered a .21 blood alcohol content, according to a Georgia State Patrol incident report, which is roughly 2.5 times the legal limit. Dixon then was taken to the Medical Center, as well, where he was diagnosed with a broken shoulder. A blood sample was taken, at the request of the GSP, and the blood sample eventually came back with a blood alcohol level of .173, according to the report.
More than a year-and-a-half later, Brown is still recovering, according to the District Attorney's Office. The D.A.'s office was seeking a sentence of eight years behind bars and another seven on probation. Meanwhile, Dixon's attorney – Carl Cansino – was seeking either time in a detention center or a lighter prison sentence for his client. With neither side able to compromise, the case was presented to Judge Amanda Petty, who sentenced Dixon to the full eight years in prison and seven more on probation.

Everything sounded so lovely until the end.
“We tried”
If that’s not disheartening idk what is. I feel the need to quote my mom here. “I can’t have nothin nice”. Wiser words were never said.
Oh! And for gods sake STAY HYDRATED if you want to save on hospital bills. I hate summer.
Member when the river was fun and didn’t get angry and take lives? You could float down hopefully by sunset with only burnt skin that was a problem for later you? Member when your biggest fear were all the scary gar lingering about?
Patchy rain nearby, with a high of 89 and low of 72 degrees. Don't forget your umbrella! Mist for the morning, light rain shower in the afternoon, patchy rain nearby in the evening, cloudy overnight.
loving that suit! That hippie has style and wears it well.
I member hearing about this. So incredibly sad. The lady I spoke with couldn’t have spoken higher of the man he was.
"unless someone wishes to make some sort of far-flung statement about their dissatisfaction with both major political parties" omg! YES PLEASE! There's no choices, and they will never allow an independent a fighting chance. Other countries have multiple candidates to choose from.
Any reason why the sheriff rarely makes a statements its alway another Deputy isn’t the sheriff, the elected official in our county?
