Criminal Defense Lawyer in Oglethorpe County
Oglethorpe County
Oglethorpe County is located in Northeast Georgia, next to Athens-Clarke County and is the route used for people traveling along Highway 78 to Athens from Augusta, Wilkes County and Taliaferro County. The Oglethorpe County Sheriff's Department and Georgia State Patrol actively patrol the roads of Oconee County and aggressively investigate all traffic offenses, including DUI cases and initiate vehicle searches in hopes of making drug arrests. The Oglethorpe County Sheriff's Office and Oglethorpe County courthouse are located in the city of Lexington.
In Oglethorpe County DUI cases are aggressively prosecuted by the District Attorney of Oglethorpe County following arrests made by the Oglethorpe County Sheriff’s Office and Georgia State Patrol. Misdemeanor Driving Under the Influence cases for DUI alcohol, DUI drugs, and DUI prescription medications are originally handled in the Probate Court of Oglethorpe County, located in Lexington. If a person is charged with a felony DUI, another felony offense such as drug possession with the DUI charge, or demands a jury trial for a misdemeanor DUI, the case is handled in the Superior Court of Oglethorpe County, located in Lexington, Georgia by the Northern Circuit District Attorney. Throughout the year, Georgia State Patrol and the Oglethorpe County Sheriff’s Office also will set up and patrol roadblocks or sobriety checkpoints throughout the county. These roadblocks allow officers to come in to contact with a large number of drivers to investigate them for DUI or potentially other criminal offenses.
Felony offenses, such as drug possession, drug possession with intent to distribute, drug trafficking and felony domestic violence offenses and non-traffic related misdemeanor offenses, such as domestic violence battery, simple battery and simple assault are solely prosecuted in the Superior Court of Oglethorpe County, located in Lexington, by the District Attorney of Oglethorpe County. Oglethorpe County is the most sparsely populated county in the Northern Judicial Circuit, so the District Attorney of Oglethorpe County does not maintain an office in Lexington or anywhere in Oglethorpe County.
