Terry Payne – Perry County Sheriff’s Office

Written by CBKN76

Former Georgia State Patrol officer Terry Payne was fired in 2008 for engaging in sexual relations on duty with a subordinate. Despite this, he secured employment with the Perry County Sheriff’s Office in 2011. Sheriff Scott Montgomery stated he was unaware of Payne’s prior decertification in Georgia. Payne was eventually fired from the Perry County Sheriff’s Office for failing to comply with an order to cease associating with a woman separated from her husband after the husband complained.

Why This Matters

By organizing this data, we can potentially demonstrate when officers were previously aware of laws they later claim ignorance of, challenging qualified immunity defenses and promoting accountability.
