~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

An Alabama middle school principal has been arrested and charged in the cold-case deaths of three people that occurred more than a decade ago.

Keante Harris, an assistant principal at McAdory Middle School, surrendered to the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office Wednesday, on a fugitive of justice warrant.

His arrest stemmed from the January 2013 murders of Cheryl Colquitt-Thompson, Quinones King, and Rodney Cottrell, a trio of Alabama residents found dead in Clayton County, Georgia.

The three were lured to a home, forced inside by gunpoint, and tortured by Harris and three other accomplices, the Clayton County Sheriff's Office said in a news release - adding that the three other suspects have been arrested as well.

Identified as Kenneth Thompson, Kevin Harris and Darrell Harris. They were all arrested across three states, the sheriff's office said.

'On January 13, 2013, Union City Police Department was on general patrol in the area of Interstate I-85 (Fulton County) when they observed a 2010 Dodge Charger that appeared to be abandoned,' officers wrote of how they handled the 11-year-old case.

'Upon further inspection, Union City Officers located (3) deceased bodies in the vehicle.

'It was determined through the investigation that all three victims were tortured and murdered in Clayton County and dumped in Fulton County.

'The victims were lured to a residence on Magnolia Drive in Jonesboro where they were forced into the residence at gunpoint,' the update, issued Friday, continued.

'Later, they were loaded into the back seat of a Dodge Charger and taken to Fulton County.'

I understand the name Keante in Swahili means, “a Man King who likes to Kill”

Never ceases to amaze me how less than 15% of the American population can cause so much chaos and mayhem.

Typical reporting. No information about the original crime. Drugs? Jealousy? Got dissed? Stupid reporters.

Perp on paid leave of course.

In our criminal justice system, a person accused of a crime is presumed innocent until proven guilty. Unless, of course, the person is Donald Trump.
