On September 11, 2024, in the Superior Court of Troup County, Hunter Blake Harrington, now 24, pleaded guilty to six violations of the Georgia Street Gang Terrorism and Prevention Act, one count of Possession of a Sawed-off Shotgun, one count of Possession of a Sawed-off Rifle, and one count of Unlawful Possession of a Silencer. In accordance with a negotiated plea agreement, Coweta Judicial Circuit Superior Court Judge Markette Baker sentenced Harrington to 40 years, with the first 15 years to be served in prison. Harrington entered “best interest” guilty pleas to the Street Gang Act violations, which meant he pleaded guilty without admitting guilt. Chief Assistant District Attorney Jack Winne prosecuted the case. Troup County Sheriff’s Office Investigator James Robson led the investigation, which revealed the following. On October 24, 2022, a concerned citizen who was acquainted with Harrington made a report to the Troup County Sheriff’s Office expressing concern about Harrington’s potential danger to others and his erratic behavior. The citizen informed law enforcement that Harrington possessed illegal weapons, was infatuated with mass killers, and was identified as a member of the Atomwaffen Division, a violent Neo-Nazi hate group and a domestic terrorist organization. Investigators soon learned that, at the time of the report, Harrington had been involuntarily committed as a danger to himself and others.
