Six months after the Cobb County district attorney dropped racketeering, theft and other charges against a former federal prosecutor, an Atlanta attorney and a Marietta businessman, the three former defendants—all with ties to gun manufacturer Glock Inc.—have notified the city of Smyrna that they intend to sue the city for malicious prosecution.
The three plaintiffs are James Harper III, a former assistant U.S. attorney in Atlanta, a retired U.S. Marine Corps colonel and a 1998 Republican candidate for state attorney general; Atlanta attorney Jeffrey Pombert; and Marietta businessman Jerry Chapman. Their attorneys filed notices claiming that their arrests and 2010 indictments arose from misconduct by the Smyrna police detective, among others, who was assigned to investigate criminal allegations made in 2007 by executives at Glock Inc. Glock’s North American headquarters is in Smyrna.
