It was alleged that corruption was taking place because the elder McMichael was an investigator for the Glynn County D.A.’s Office. After the video was released, the D.A. formally asked the GBI to investigate the case that is now 2-and-a-half-month-old.

The men were free after the incident took place on February 23, but because the video was leaked this week. Pressure was mounting for them to be arrested. The GBI officially took the case from local cops in Brunswick, GA on Thursday.
