She walked away towards Rock Quarry Road. She was later arrested in Atlanta Tuesday night.
“This is a situation that should not have happened. Ms. Harris came into court to face charges and quickly became a fugitive of the law and is now at risk of facing some real time. I don’t know why people think they can get around the law and escape custody without being held accountable,” Sheriff Reginald B. Scandrett said.
Harris now faces an escape charge and other charges are pending. Deputies say Harris’ mother is also in custody potentially facing obstruction charges.
