DUNWOODY, Ga. — Authorities have identified the Individuals responsible for distributing antisemitic flyers in Dunwoody and Sandy Springs Feb. 5, but they will not pursue charges, Dunwoody Police Chief Billy Grogan said. Grogan told members of the Dunwoody City Council Feb. 13 the Police Department has concluded its investigation and has determined no charges can be filed in the case, because the flyers did not contain a threat or any other actionable language. “After conducting a thorough investigation and discussing this with the District Attorney’s Office and City Solicitor's Office there's no charge we can make against them,” Grogan said. “It’s a free speech issue.” The flyers, which were found on driveways around the two cities, sparked an immediate public outcry from community members and leaders statewide, including Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp and state Rep. Esther Panitch. “Welcome to being a Jew in Georgia,” Panitch Tweeted, sharing a photo of the flyers on her driveway in Sandy Springs.
