Bond issue to be decided in Superior Court
A Fairburn man accused of murder for assaulting a Hampton man outside a Peachtree City nightclub June 28 will remain in jail.
Jeremy Scott, 22, of Elder Street, Fairburn appeared in Fayette County Magistrate Court Wednesday afternoon. Chief Magistrate Charles R. Floyd Jr. bound Scott’s case over to Superior Court, as magistrates by law cannot set bond for murder.
Scott is accused of striking a blow that knocked down Devan Abercrombie, 32, of Hampton outside The Red Room. Abercrombie’s head struck the pavement, knocking him unconscious.
A week later, Abercrombie had died in a downtown Atlanta hospital of a brain injury when he was taken off life support.
Scott is charged with murder and also aggravated assault in the case.
