According to a Georgia State Patrol incident report, on February 10th, 2021,  Sergeant Cain was dispatched to a hit-and-run vehicle crash on GA 1 (Hwy 27) in Chattooga County.
The victim stated that the suspect, identified as Jonny Marl Garret, 54, of Rome, struck his vehicle on GA 1 south of Butler Dairy Road and left the scene. The victim followed the suspect and contacted Chattooga County 911 to report the hit-and-run and  vehicle information. Garrett was then stopped by Summerville Police Officers on University Street. Garrett stated that he did not have a license and had an extremely difficult time recalling his address and other simple things. Law Enforcement noted a strong odor of alcoholic beverage coming from Garrett, and when his information was ran in GCIC/NCIC it returned with numerous suspensions.  Garrett stated that he had consumed “a lot of beer.”   He then stated that he had also consumed a “couple” shots of liquor as well.” During the HGN test, Garrett showed six out of six clues of impairment and had to lean against the trooper’s patrol vehicle to keep his balance.
Garrett refused Georgia’s Implied Consent Notice and stated that he had already told the trooper that he had been drinking. Garret was transported to the Chattooga County jail charged with failure to report accident, hit-and-run leaving scene of crash, driving while license suspended, and DUI.
