Judge to be reprimanded, serve 30-day suspension Crawford County Mag istrate Judge Cary Hays, III, who admitted to shoving a suspect after a court hearing will serve a 30-day suspension. Georgia’s Supreme Court also agreed to reprimand Cary Hays III, the county’s chief magistrate. The court announced Tuesday they’d agreed to a deal proposed by the state’s Judicial Qualifications Commis sion. Both Hays and the suspect agreed to the punishment, the court’s ruling says. According to court doc uments, it happened in Dec. 2020, when Hays held a first appearance hearing at the county jail. The man allegedly cursed at Hays through out the hearing and as he was led out of the room. Hays followed the man into the hallway, grabbed him and pushed him against the wall as he was shackled and handcuffed. Court documents say the suspect did not threaten Hays or try to escape. Neither man was injured. The Georgia commis sion that oversees judges charged Hays with three violations of the state’s judge’s code. The Georgia Supreme Court opinion called the judge’s actions a grave violation, but say it doesn’t merit remov ing him from office. The court called him a “well-respected member of the community,” who served honorably in the military. He also has no disciplinary record. Last year, Hays said “I shouldn’t have done what I did, but when you’re cursed enough, eventually you get enough.” On Tuesday, Hays, who’s 79, said he’s look ing forward to serving his unpaid suspension and getting on with his duties. “I have admitted to all that,” he said. “I’m sorry it happened. I’m embar rassed by it.”
