On February 10, 2025, at approximately 7:20 PM, a traffic stop was conducted by a Crisp County deputy in conjunction with the Georgia State Patrol at exit 104 of GA 401. The driver, Jessica Ray Fountain of Leesburg, nor either of her passengers, Robert Eugene Fountain of Americus, or Dennis Wade Keen of Cordele could provide any identification.
