ZEBULON - The September Term of the Pike County Grand Jury met for the September term with the Honorable Scott Ballard presiding. A list of No Bills (not indicted) and True Bills (indicted cases) were the result of this September Term.
Grand Jury members also toured county facilities, noted possible issues, and made recommendations on what they saw.
Grand Jury Presentment
Grand Jury members toured county facilities and made both commendations and issues that will be presented to the public, the Pike County Board of Commissioners, and the Pike County Sheriff’s Office.
The Grand Jury commended Sheriff Thomas and Deputies of the Pike County Sheriff’s Office for their service to the county. They also commended the professionalism of the Deputies who testified before them during Grand Jury proceedings.
They also commended Judge Ben Coker for his informative charge to the Grand Jury, District Attorney Marie Broder and Assistant District Attorney Michael Rogers for the efficient manner in which cases were presented to the Grand Jury.
And they commended Clerk of Superior Court Pam Thompson for her diligent service to the court as well as Captain Kevin Cress and Deputy Derek Rowan as sworn baliffs for the Grand Jury.
Grand Jury members inspected the Sheriff’s Office and jail, Superior Court, the Probate Office, the District Attorney’s Office and the County Commissioners Office. Members made the following observations:
They noted that there was a lack of storage everywhere in these offices. They noted specifically that the vault is packed in the Probate office and that there are fire hazards.
The Commission Office had two issues: HVAC equipment is exposed and restroom access.
The Sheriff’s Office needs an updated time clock, E911 is unable to transfer other county calls appropriately, there is a safety issue with transporting inmate across the street to the courthouse, and there is limited jail/E911 staff.
The Courthouse has a lack of efficiency when it comes to the AC units because the thermostats are on the opposite sides.
And there are offices in the county that are operating with operating systems that need to be upgraded because of the possibility of security breaches.
