Cedartown, GA — The ‘good ole boy’ network is alive and well in Georgia and an innocent man is now dead because of it. Instead of calling for medical aid to help a dying cyclist their friend had just run over, a police chief and his state representative friend plotted how to cover it up.
Eric Keais, 38, spent his last hour on this Earth bleeding out in a ditch, suffering from internal injuries he sustained after being plowed down on his bicycle by Ralph “Ryan” Dover III.
“It’s really hard on me because he’s…my brother, man,” Eric’s brother Aaron Keais said through tears. “I wasn’t ready for him to go.”
11 Alive reports that Eric and Aaron were set to start working together as painters that week, but that would never happen. Now, Aaron is finding out the truth of what happened that fateful night on September 12, 2019—truth, that even surprised and enraged the coroner.
As 11 Alive reports, Polk County Coroner Tony Brazier wasn’t ready for what he would learn about the crash. That his friends, some of the most prominent people in the community, were involved in the aftermath to varying degrees.
“We realized early on that this was going to be a problematic case,” he said. “This was more than just a regular accident. The vehicle had been moved.”
Instead of stopping and checking on the cyclist he just hit that night, Dover drove nearly another mile with “the passenger side head light, hood and fender area caved in along with the passenger side windshield shattered and caved in,” the police report read. There was also red paint from Eric’s bicycle on the car too.
When he finally stopped, instead of calling 911 to report the dying man on the side of the road, Dover called his friend, attorney and Georgia State Representative Trey Kelley.
Dover later told police, “at first, he didn’t know what he hit and then said it could have been a deer or possibly a person,” the police report said...........https://fromthetrenchesworldreport.com/instead-of-calling-911-state-rep-police-chief-covered-up-friends-hit-and-run-as-victim-died-in-a-ditch/261931
