Senoia man charged in connection with nightclub murder case

A Senoia man was arrested Monday by Peachtree City police in connection with an investigation into an assault outside a nightclub June 28 that led to the death of a Hampton man.

James Armond Blackmon, 23, of Peeks Crossings, was charged with making false statements and writings.

A Fairburn man, Jeremy Scott, 22, of Elder Street, has been charged with murder for the death of Devan Abercrombie, 32. Police have accused Scott of striking Abercrombie, causing his head to strike the pavement and knocking him unconscious.

A week later, Abercrombie had died in a downtown Atlanta hospital of a brain injury when he was taken off life support.

Police did not elaborate on what led to Blackmon’s charges, but previously Police Chief H.C. “Skip” Clark said officers interviewed between 25 and 30 people because it was difficult to find credible witnesses due to the fact that many people at the scene had been drinking.

Just wondering, but, where do you get all the facts that you so easily quote here?

A persons criminal history, or history of arrestes is public record.

Good job, now where are the others? What kind of rap sheet does this joker have??

The other bum (Jermey Scott) was arrested for armed robbery previously. Scotty let him go......

How easy will he get off this time?

How did you find that information in public record? Website or what? I'm very curious.

Also, what were the details of the robbery? I don't remember hearing about it, was it around here? Why was he let go? Did he at least plea to something else?

Go back to the original story, or the courthouse. That is just for Fayette County, no telling what is listed in other counties.

As one of his supporters points out, he was arrested for armed robbery, but Scooter our gem DA dumbed it down to a lesser charge.

If Scotty would grow a pony tail he would be the perfect defense attorney.
