REYNOLDS, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) — Two former Reynolds police officers face charges following an August 22 incident involving one of the former officers and his significant other, according to a news release posted Tuesday on the Reynolds Police Department’s Facebook page.

According to the release, former officer Landon E. Aldridge is charged with hindering a 911 call. Police did not say who attempted to call 911, how the call was hindered or what led to the call.

The release said Aldridge had resigned from the Reynolds Police Department before the August 22 incident.

Another former officer, Christopher K. Boyt, is charged with violation of oath of office. The department said Boyt “neglected a duty related to the investigation of a call for service” but did not identify the duty he failed to perform.

Boyt resigned while under investigation and is no longer employed by the department, the release said.

We reached out to Reynolds Police Chief Lonnie Holder to ask for an incident report. Holder told 41NBC the investigation remains active and directed 41NBC to the Taylor County Jail for booking and arrest records.

41NBC also reached out to the Taylor County Sheriff’s Office but has not received a response as of Tuesday afternoon.
