Three Bibb County, Ga. sheriff's deputies arrested for misusing Flock cameras to track romantic partners

On August 10, 2026, Bibb County, Georgia Sheriff David Davis announced the arrest of three sheriff's deputies — K-9 handler Joseph Marquee Callaway, 37, and patrol deputies Toni Cierra Lewis, 32, and Coznavian Torsell Stubbs, 45 — after an internal audit found they had used the department's access to the Flock automated license-plate-reader network to track people with whom they had personal relationships, rather than for any law-enforcement purpose. Davis said the deputies "weren't chasing burglars and robbers ... it all had a personal nexus."

The misuse was uncovered when Flock's own internal auditing algorithm flagged three separate queries as suspicious, prompting an investigation by the Bibb County Sheriff's Office Internal Affairs Unit. All three deputies were charged with violation of oath of office and stalking; Callaway was additionally charged with unauthorized request or disclosure of criminal history records, and all three were charged with prohibited retention of license-plate data. All three have resigned — Lewis and Stubbs during the investigation, and Callaway shortly after his arrest — and were booked into the Bibb County Law Enforcement Center. "The public entrusts law enforcement with access to powerful technology," Davis said. "No employee is above the law or the standards of this office."

The case follows the same pattern documented elsewhere in this archive: a law-enforcement officer with legitimate access to a government surveillance tool repurposing it to monitor a partner, spouse, or other personal contact rather than to investigate crime. A November 2025 case already recorded here involved a Braselton, Georgia police chief who used the same Flock network roughly 600 times to track an ex-girlfriend.
