Clayton County Sheriff Levon Allen used the county’s law enforcement radio system to announce that the Clayton County Jail would no longer accept suspects arrested by the Riverdale Police Department.
Here is an audio recording of that radio transmission, which The Clayton Crescent obtained through an Open Records Request:
Allen: This is Sheriff One.
Operator: Go ahead.
Allen: Sheriff One. I just want to make sure, make you aware that, per GCIC rules and regulations, that until further notice, we will not accept any, uh, inmate that’s in custody by Riverdale PD.
Operator: Sir, I’ll let everyone know.
Neither Allen, any CCSO public information officer, nor Riverdale Police Chief Todd Spivey have responded to requests for comment as to what GCIC rules or regulations might have been violated, or what prompted Allen’s ban on accepting Riverdale PD’s suspects.
We will update when we have more information.
