A report in the Athens Banner Herald Thursday said Eric Gary Brewer appealed his firing and Jackson County Sheriff Stan Evans decided Monday to grant the appeal. Evans said Brewer will be working at the county jail while his case is under investigation in Madison County.
Brewer was charged December 4 with attempting to elude, reckless driving and a brake light violation after a Madison County sheriff's deputy said Brewer sped away from him when he tried to conduct a traffic stop.
The Madison County deputy said when he chased Brewer, Brewer drove at speeds approaching 90 mph on Highway 98.
Brewer, who lives in Pendergrass, has been employed with the Jackson County Sheriff's Office for 20 years.
