Boozer’s husband, Craig Lamar Boozer, 56, 2691 Baypole School Road, Meigs, was charged with DUI, according to the Colquitt County Sheriff’s Office. He has been released on bond.

The investigation involves multiple agencies, and none of them are releasing much information as the investigation proceeds.

The Georgia State Patrol appears to be in charge of the investigation, but the investigating trooper did not return a call from The Observer.
