Stephens Co. Jury Convicts Colbert

Mountain Judicial Circuit District Attorney George R. Christian announced earlier this week that a Stephens County jury has convicted an individual with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

Clancey Bernard Colbert, 59 of Toccoa, was convicted Monday in connection with a search of his home by parole officers and probation in January 2016.

Colbert has had over 10 previous criminal convictions and was sentenced by Honorable Russell W. Smith as a recidivist to 5 years in prison, with no possibility of parole.

At the time of his most recent offense, Colbert was on parole for aggravated assault.
