The Bibb County Sheriff’s Office, along with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, are investigating a deputy-involved shooting that happened in the 3600 block of Mumford Road, just before 11:30 p.m. on July 20, 2023.
At 11:21 p.m., a Bibb County Sheriff’s Office deputy attempted to initiate a traffic stop on Log Cabin Drive when he observed a silver four-door sedan traveling with an equipment violation. The driver refused to stop for the deputy. Deputies pursued the suspect to Mumford Road at the Case Street intersection. The suspect backed into a deputy’s patrol cruiser, then accelerated toward another deputy. The assisting deputy then fired shots, striking the suspect.
Paramedics responded to the scene and immediately treated the suspect for his wound. He was transported to Atrium Health Navicent and is listed in stable condition. No one else was injured during this incident.
The suspect was identified as fifty-three-year-old Anthony Glenn Foster. Foster is currently wanted in Bibb County for Driving with a Suspended/Revoked License, Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol, Reckless Driving, Driving without a License, and Equipment Violations. The vehicle Foster drove had no Active Registration nor Valid Insurance.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation was called in by the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office to investigate the shooting incident. The Bibb County Sheriff’s Internal Affairs Office will conduct an internal investigation.
