MOULTRIE, Ga.  — Just days after a Colquitt County sheriff’s deputy resigned, a second law enforcement officer with the department has been suspended, with alleged domestic violence being the issue in both cases.

Michael Morris was suspended without pay this week, pending the results of an investigation after he was arrested on Sunday night.

Morris, 31, 1102 Erve Williams Road, was charged with disorderly conduct after he made a second visit to his ex-girlfriend’s residence, according to Colquitt County Sheriff’s Office reports. Deputies drove Morris, who admitted he had been drinking, home after the first altercation only to have him show up a second time at the mobile home located in the 1300 block of U.S. Highway 319 North.

Police were initially called at about 11:30 p.m. Sunday to Jessie Reyes’ residence, the reports said. At that time Morris was being “loud and disorderly and appeared under the influence of alcohol and admitted to consuming alcohol,” according to reports.

At about 1:02 a.m. police were again called to Reyes’ residence, where she had him in a car and was going to take him home.

As one of the officers tried to place Morris in a patrol car, Reyes’ current boyfriend was speaking with a second officer, police said. Morris began using vulgar language toward that man and tried to escape the grip of the officer who was trying to get him inside the car.

He was then arrested.

Morris was suspended without pay after the incident, sheriff’s Capt. Julius Cox said on Wednesday.

“There’s an internal investigation going on,” he said. “They should be through by the end of the week.”

Cox said that Morris had been with the agency a good amount of time, having come back to the sheriff’s office after leaving to take a job with another police agency.

On Friday, deputy Evan Garlick resigned from the sheriff’s office after he was arrested about two weeks earlier in a domestic violence case in the city of Pelham, Cox said.

Garlick, 30, was charged by the Pelham Police Department with simple battery.
