Atlanta Escorts: Trooper death highlights dangers of policing

Favors had been arrested previously for charges ranging from possession of cocaine and reckless driving to obstruction of a law enforcement officer, attempting to break into a vehicle and trying to flee from police. Further details on the offenses and Favor’s subsequent sentencing were not immediately available Tuesday.
Tracy Flanagan, a spokeswoman for the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office, said Favors was last arrested Dec. 11. He was released from custody three days later on a signature bond, meaning he put up no bail money.
Vernon Keenan, director of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, whose agency is leading the case, said an autopsy showed LeCroy was hit only once, although Favors fired three shots.
LeCroy was a member of a special street crime suppression unit and was at the intersection of Hightower Road and Saint Paul Avenue, an area rife with drugs and prostitution, when he was shot. Officers from the Atlanta Police Department who had worked alongside LeCroy stopped by the scene Tuesday and surveyed it with somber faces.
