72 days to the election 


THOMASVILLE — A six-count indictment returned Thursday on Thomasville Mayor Greg Hobbs stated the defendant violated his 2018 oath of office when he knowingly made a false crime report later in the year...(but did he ever break the Open Meeting Law like a mayor we are all familiar with?)
Hobbs was unopposed for his Thomasville City Council seat in 2017. He took the oath of office for a second four-year term on Jan. 8, 2018. On the same date, he was re-elected by the council to a second two-year term as mayor.
According to the indictment, on June 7, 2018, Hobbs falsely reported the crime of forgery to Georgia Bureau of Investigation agent Matt Marchant.
Hobbs "did willfully and intentionally" violate the terms of his oath of office when he reported the forgery of his signature on a payroll document, the indictment stated.
A making false statement charge resulted when Hobbs told the GBI agent the document was not signed by him, but was a stamped facsimile of his signature placed on the document by others without his authorization and consent.
