Only one of three men arrested Jan. 10 at a traffic stop in Grovetown remains in custody in the Columbia County jail. One was released on bond while the other was never jailed in Columbia County.
Antoine Rodrigues Redfield, 21, is being held on a charge of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
According to a Tuesday press release from the Grovetown Department of Public Safety, Redfield was taken into custody Monday afternoon at the Jiffy Lube at 5035 Wrightsboro Rd. The stop was listed in reference to the on-going murder investigation of Arbrie Anthony, 8, who was shot while playing outside her Third Avenue home Jan. 8.
Also taken into custody were 25-year-old Devonte Juanye McNeil and 20-year-old Henri Ramone Beach, both on a charge of financial transaction card theft.

Maj. Steve Morris of the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office said McNeil was booked into the jail but posted bond and was released overnight.
Beach’s location is unknown. Morris said Beach was never in that jail, and Beach is not listed as an inmate at the Webster Detention Center in Richmond County.
The release said additional charges related to the firearms and narcotics are forthcoming. Those are the only charges yielded from the traffic stop.
Any questions regarding the on-going murder investigation should be directed to the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office. Anyone with information regarding the investigation is encouraged to contact the Criminal Investigation Division at (706) 821-1020.

Whatever happened to the Driving While Black Act proposed by Senator Warnock? I thought that was made into law. It sounded like it had a lot of merit to it.
