Activist calls charges an effort to oust him

DECATUR, Ga. — Civil rights activist Hosea Williams alleged Tuesday that two felony indictments charging him with leaving an auto accident scene are a ploy to oust him from the county

commission he was elected to last fall. De Kalb Dist. Atty. Bob Wilson has “never charged nobody for a felony in a fender-bender since he’s been in office,” Williams said after a meeting of
