MOULTRIE, Ga. — The Colquitt County Grand Jury handed down indictments last week, including in numerous theft cases.

In an indictment, a grand jury of local residents agrees there is enough evidence to justify prosecution of a defendant for a crime. Many felony crimes cannot move forward without an indictment, but some can, if they fit into specific rules. In those cases, the District Attorney’s Office can file an accusation instead of seeking a grand jury indictment. 

Several theft accusations were released at the same time as the indictments on Feb. 2.

• Semaj Jyquaris Willis, theft by deception and forgery in the first degree.
